Someone answered the call! We have a 1.4 Saxo to try on the dyno!

[@Rich-ll8ce]

I love how the socket and screwdriver magically disappeared at 10:28.. Said to myself, you're gonna lose that 🤣

[@steve.9138]

I thought I heard something Rattle on the way home 😮

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

I recently brought my son a little 1.1 Pug 106 after watching your videos on Dumpit and it's a cracking little car, very nippy and very economical which is exactly what my son was looking for so yeah cheers for that 👍

[@UPnDOWN]

That is awesome!

[@volt8684]

My daughter 206 1.1 did 160k be for she sold and I see it’s still on the road on mot history with 190 on

[@stephenjcuk7562]

The "dumpit pipe" is now a thing and what's more I noticed it.

[@ianelliott229]

I adore this channel. It’s so…….quirkily British. 😊 The car looks a beauty.

[@craigmclean8260]

"Lukewarm Liftbacks"? It's been fun to watch the dyno-board get new additions!

[@charliemansonUK]

7:49 😅 i believe you mate....many wont but i believe you. But it's odd how a creaking door can smell so bad though

[@porsche356a]

These videos have really got me motivated to get AX GT 1.4 finished and back on the road, and experience some of that TU Engine goodness.

[@guillaumeromain6694]

I love those videos! They're we'll put together, informative and funny. It takes skills and you are very good at it!

[@SteveDull]

Think you need a 106 Quicksilver on there to see if Peugeot were keeping a little extra for themselves!

[@russellb1212]

The dyno videos are brilliant, always good banter with Hubnut

[@aslandama]

You spoke well at Rustival , for a quiet man! Looking forward to your 24 hour challenge, It's actually in my diary. Not interested in these rolling road tests although it is interesting to see how many horses older cars still have. Love your channel and personality and hopefully I'll make Rustival three and be able to say hello!

[@howardsportugal]

Be interesting to see if there is an appreciable difference without that air intake restrictor...and there you go!!

[@ydnallah1541]

The fast….and the furio

I dig the Crazy Eights T-Shirt you have on!

[@iainmacrae6982]

I love this blue colour, I have a 1999 phase 1 saxo ‘west coast’ in the same colour, only it has a vtr engine and disc spec back axle and interior

[@charliemansonUK]

12:46 ....be careful Kitch the buggers got a Scoobie now....

[@grumpy2.0]

I was looking for a comment like this

[@Ju1ian10001]

yep hubnut has a scoobie, but will never see if it beats its quoted bhp, coz disapointingly for us its 4wd, still sounds lovely though

[@UPnDOWN]

4wd and auto...game over 😆

[@chamaileon81]

Matt popping up, probably to do some welding for him 🤣

[@jayslittleprojects1431]

I do like these dyno tests!

[@gl_coimbra]

Yeah! I have a xsara vtr with the same engine, good to know it has more power xD. The xsara has a stock oil temperature gauge, when it is above 100º C I feel the car much more sluggish. Especially if I have just been sitting in traffic, the oil goes just above 100º C and joining a roundabout can be scary from the lower acceleration than normal xD

[@jfv65]

Unlikely. 100C is nothing. I used to do rally service. Cars came back from the stages with oil at 180C. No joke. And no problem either. A HOT engine will start to consume a bit more oil tho. When the oil is hot the engine gas LESS pumping losses. Same for diff and gbox oil.

[@gl_coimbra]

@@jfv65 yes, in the motorway on a hot day I will get like 130º C, it´s just when sitting in traffic above 110º C that temperature that it gets sluggish

[@Zadster]

Interesting results. Given how it seems prone to being a tad toasty, I think I would look into getting a heat exchanger installed and a larger radiator. Those restrictor pipes look so frustrating. If I had one, I'd feel compelled to replace it. Probably wrongly, but... yeah.

[@steve.9138]

This is a Euro 2 car, the Euro 3 cars that were a couple of years newer had the larger radiator as standard, it is an upgrade I've been looking at.

[@MrGrumpygit488]

I had a ZX with the same engine, most of the time I ran it without the thermostat as it always ran hot.

[@volt8684]

I am a French car fan. Lot of slaters and haters but I am 66 and had a lot of cars. Japanese, british leyland Ford, Vw, audi, vauxhall, Fiat, Renault and PSA. Without doubt my most loyal and favourite driving cars have been French. Flimsy feeling -yes but all have been very reliable and long living. I am a banger driver so cheap and economical are my preferences. If they still made 2cv or renault 4 or 6 would buy one in a heartbeat. My current steed a mk1 berlingo which has a ride like a limo. 1.6 petrol 110 bhp( allegedly😂)

[@pedroeevil]

It only missing the 1.5d, Saxo or 106, also tu engine, if makes more hp

[@iainmacrae6982]

The dyno’s maximum torque reading won’t be high enough

[@ferrumignis]

@@iainmacrae6982 The TUD5 makes less torque than this 1.4 Saxo.

[@iainmacrae6982]

[@ferrumignis]

@@iainmacrae6982 Yes I have, generally recognisable by their humour....

[@bondbug73]

I'll admit I was ready for another dyno surprise. Well explained and with some surprising results. Nice deceptive looking Saxo.

[@michaelwright2986]

No, don't stop the HubNut digs, it's become an important part of the subculture. Also, catchphrases -- I don't understand how they work, but old farts like me can still crack up if someone aptly introduces into the conversation "You can't get the wood, you know" or "We'll all be murdered in our beds." So, you know, like, don't panic.

[@RustyRenesis]

Not that it's really related to your French dyno sessions, but i'd like to see how a Mk4/Mk5 1.25 Fiesta would fare after almost 30 years. I daily one and it's a fantastic hatchback, miles ahead of all others at the time.

[@HA05GER]

They are bulletproof I think it would fare pretty well.

[@UPnDOWN]

I'm game! Bring it down...

[@RustyRenesis]

@@UPnDOWN @UPnDOWN Personally wouldn't mind, but i'm from Portugal and it's a bit of a trip to get there haha But since they're UK made (i think), wouldn't be hard to find one.

[@nicoshummi]

I improved this engine to 90 HP by putting de 1.6 90 HP intake from 206, the 1.6 injectors, diesel 106 exhaust (no cat and no middle muffler) and a sport intake (the one like groupe N) I tried agaisnt a stock 106 90 HP, it couldn't keep up with the 1.4

[@felixkaller1481]

man it would be nice if u can get ya hands on a citroen c25 turbo or pegeot j5 turbo. keep it up

[@tobymcnicol922]

furio..... grrrrrr!!

[@gazonatrike7005]

Just wondering are these the generation of cars that they gave free insurance with when new? they'd want to downgrade estimates for that possibly

[@ferrumignis]

Yes, both the 106 and Saxo had a 1 or 2 year free insurance incentive.

[@carlmarkwyatt]

Today I learnt that I've been pronouncing 'furio' wrong for at least 20 years haha

[@James-ld2jc]

Maybe a tepid hatch?

[@barryhumphriesinc.broughto3098]

Would you like to check my 1.1 smart 5 door should be 75bhp

[@Mancozeb100]

The BDA on the front didn’t help … at all 😢

[@michaelstaddon2522]

Mmmmmmm

[@pentagrammotorsport]

Interestingly, or perhaps not, my first Saxo was a 1.1 and it was a little screamer. I then later had a 1.4 Westcoast which was similarly quick but didn’t feel earth shatteringly quicker than the 1.1. Is it bore size that’s different or did length?

[@jfv65]

Question to Kitsch: do the results change if you change tyre pressures? (of the driven wheels ofcourse) In other words, can low tyre pressures result in a lower power resding?

[@GoldenCroc]

Not sure if this dyno can fully compensate for that. Uncompensated; yes, it will.

[@Madpegasusmax]

sounds very nice , waited someone liked over 69 to like myself ....

[@robc3056]

Who says you 3500hp !!

[@joaoserraoliveira3767]

The BX 14 you've tested on the dyno some weeks ago had the TU or XY?

[@joaoserraoliveira3767]

Ok, it had the TU engine!

[@Ju1ian10001]

Kitch i've noticed they are mostly errrm french, i bet my japaneese Mazda 2 of 2019 vintage with its brilliant skyactive 90bhp engine (sorry biggin it up there, its a brilliant design engine but my god it's gutless) would blow them away (again im joking, it's gutless and has no torque to speak off, maybe thats why im joining the biking comunaty)

[@GoldenCroc]

Use the revs for god sake! Adopt moped driving style.

[@grumpy2.0]

Remove the restrictor pipe, i commented before you got there. Do'h.

[@robertsedgwick1629]

so not only does a saxo have less power than a 106 it doesn't have a bonnet strut- related perhaps?🤣

Got to be more than coincidence, huh?! 😂
