[@hawkx5978]

Sam is a hell of a driver , first with no wheel spin in the drag races and SECOND in that brake test he was braking and downshifting so the car stops faster than all of the others , thats what driving knowledge and skills truly are !

[@dutchdrifter8740]

Not really how that works. Downshifting doesn't magically provide you with more tyre grip. Even worse, dispite the abs the tyres are locking up for very small amounts of time during this braking test which would stall the engine upsetting the balance and reducing brake pressure. I am pretty sure he was downshifting out of habit but not actually engaging the clutch. His heel and toe was impressive tho.

[@nicolasbourget4163]

😅😂😅😂

[@JagoTFC]

​​@@dutchdrifter8740he was searching for the grip limit not trusting the abs system. There is a delay between the brake release and re-engage so probably he was feathering the clutch to feel where the limit was.

[@khoality102]

​@@dutchdrifter8740probably referring to engine braking, don't know the detail but it's an alternate way to slow down your vehicle and reduce the amount of wear and tear on your braking system.

[@funkingitup1805]

Not to keep hitting you over the head, but you are incorrect as others have pointed out. The downshifting is not increasing the ability of the tires to stop.

[@stephen3164]

The ITB car also had 20% greater displacement, using a 2.5l engine instead of the factory 2.0l. And with a 5 speed instead of a 6 speed, and unknown rear end gearing for each car, they will all behave differently in different tests. The ITB car would best best on track with no boost spikes to deal with. Surprised it took the longest to stop, but maybe has a more track focused brake pad that needs some heat before it stops good. A better test would be a lap around a small track, all by the same driver.

[@iluvcakes19]

The supercharger would not have boost spikes. That's a turbo thing.

one of the most enjoyable videos yet, everyone was great and the cars were cool. Nice to see what different modifications can do to the same platform. BRAVO!

[@Gobbbbb]

Hello Nick! Also this goes to show what I've tried to explain for years. Big brakes DO NOT mean you will stop faster, as it's a limitation of the tyre. While yes they probably do provide extra stopping power, the tyres can't cope. Big brakes mainly just dissipate heat much better and will stop like this over and over, while stock would struggle with repeated stops.

[@crocknyldcrock1931]

You can see that Matt was the only one who did not use engine braking (downshifting) to help with slowing down. All the other three used the shifter to help with the braking.

[@mediocreman2]

Which means they effectively will stop shorter than stock brakes after the initial heat soak. People underestimate how little it takes to get hot brakes. One or two curves with hard braking is all you need to lose braking performance.

[@wiciuwiciu2783]

​@@mediocreman2the safety norms requires that brakes have to withstand 100-0 stop with full force at least three times. And 99,999999999% you don't brake with full force. And if you do, you're driving like maniac on public roads. Thus you shouldn't even stand near any car... If you go on track days it's whole different story.

[@johnseed4104]

@@crocknyldcrock1931 yeah, probably a good chance it had something to do with brake bias (engine braking the rear wheels if they still have traction left after the front starts to lock up)

[@Sideways_Singh]

Exactly abs is doing the work every size brake is good enough to lock up the tires. What does help significantly with brakes is tires, because stickier tires they dont lock up as easy due to more grip so abs kicks in later. They shoulda really checked tires for this test, width, model, psi it makes a massive difference in all these test except the rolling race

[@jo.jokergamer2048]

[@yaghoub2983]

8:40 perfect shot 👌

[@todd5082]

My experience with forced induction is the supercharger feels like u r driving a much bigger engine like a v6 or v8. The torque is now! A turbo feels like a standard Miata engine until the boost hits and then runs like a scalded dog. Fast.

[@benjbsn2429]

This type of supercharger (Rotrex) don't make torque down low, its more like a N/A on steroid. You get almost the same hp as a turbo setup but without the huge burst of torque..its linear. Less harsh on the rods and great for time attack, lapping, circuit. Turbo is better in straight line for sure (more power/torque) if you can put the power to the ground..! Different breed of animal. Btw I would love to see the ITB car with a 6 speed gearboxes instead of the 5 .

[@Chevymonster203]

@@benjbsn2429 Good explanation, also you can probably size your turbo by knowing how to read A/R compressor maps to see where the turbo range is and properly size the turbo compressor and turbine to fit your needs. Smaller A/R on a the turbine side will give you more restriction but could help in spooling the turbo at lower rpm's with some sacrifice up high. Properly sized turbos can have some good grunt with decent boost pressure down low and still put out enough steam up top. I would think that is the main issue that a lot of people have with laggy turbo's that don't spool quick enough and only have lets say a 2500 rpm useable power band. Roots style superchargers make a crap ton of boost down low right off of idle which makes the engine feel like a bigger displacement and centrifugal superchargers build boost depending on rpm. Centrifugal superchargers will always move more air than a roots due to their more advanced compressor wheel design vs the old style three lobe rotors in a roots. There is the exception of the screw supercharger which can build far more boost due to the lobe screw design which has a more aggressive profile than a lobe design and the closer tolerances to the case.

[@CameronJay]

That shot of all four MX5's in a diagonal line was epic!

[@tyanaichigovera7308]

Kudos to Matt as I think this is the most informative in regards to what package for tuning in regards to the engine.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Thanks.

[@jtland4842]

I would like to add that the ITB car doesn't have the stock engine which is why the displacement is 0.5L bigger than the other cars. In the states, that engine is most commonly pulled out of Ford Fusions but not sure what the common car is in the UK. BBR makes an ITB kit for the standard 2.0L engine that makes 220-225 HP depending on if you have the original or the facelifted car with the revised engine.

@samrowlands7842 he isn't launching it right. He's pulling away with the revs droppings. He needs to launch with high revs. People need to learn how to drive a turbo car. Lag is not a thing if you know what you're doing.

[@jiminycricket9877]

@@rpw2003hmmm, not sure about that one!!!! People always get confused on this . There’s a difference between lag and boost threshold. Lag is the time it takes for the turbine to spin up and tbh, unless you have a HUGE turbo is pretty minimal. Boost threshold is the minimum rpm your setup will make boost. So yep, keeping the revs up keeps you above the threshold, but makes bugger all difference to lag.

I used to have one of those VW group 1.4 TSI engine cars (which was mega) and if I had to choose between the turbo or supercharger, I'd have gone supercharger everytime.

Had one too, great little engine that didn't feel like such a small capacity at all.

@@ii_dynasty Your comment has zero to do with what the OP said. He said nothing about the turbo car, he was only talking about the last race where driver was a non-factor and he is 100% right that the ITB car was faster than the supercharged car in top gear because of the different gearboxes.

[@Bally46]

I think the last race was also cos the ITB was a 2.5L so makes more power while nobody has boost

[@v.s.727]

This mazda had a centrifugal supercharger. This type of supercharger doesen't make much power at low rpms, whilest turbos also have bad really low end torqe but but at around 2-3k rpm most turbos start building boost and reach full boost at around 3k rpm which gives them really good mid range torque whilest the centrifugal supercharger reaches peak boost only just before the rev limit.

[@bananowyjestemsobie]

@@Bally46 It does make some power at low rpm where the others are not on boost, true. But the point is they would be comfortably on boost if they had the 5-speed gearbox like the ITB car. They mentioned the 6-speed cars were at 1800 rpm at 50 mph. The 5-speed would be above 2500 rpm (I have one). If they were all 6-speed then maaaybe the ITB would still very slightly edge the sc. If they were all 5-speed, the sc would leave it the dust like in the 2 previous races. The turbo wins every roll race hands down, no change here.

I'd love a 2.5L supercharged one!

[@DPCcars]

Nice fun race. Cars don't have to be fast to be fun.

[@EvoBeard]

Brake bias from larger front Calipers is interesting in that brake test!

[@purwantiallan5089]

Well definitely.

I'd say there may be a problem with suppling brake pump with pressure because of the ITB's

[@mikeschaner5853]

Love it when Nick makes an appearance. Great show fellas!!

[@ivangaldamez630]

I can't stop laughing 😂😂 Matt treats Nick like his lame little brother 😂😂 just raining on his parade at every chance 😂😂. I love how Nick is too happy to care ❤😂

[@purwantiallan5089]

Me too never stop laughing cuz of this.

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

He has a character that needs fixing but ok

[@pondmonserfox]

I want a BBR ITB kit soooooooooooo badly for my NC1. Those induction noises are too good.

Been thinking recently about this particular question. To me supercharger makes more sense if your goal is "Low" horsepower, you spend way less time waiting for it to kick in, and since you dont have that much base power to begin with, it should be a big advantage over turbos. Right?..

[@5ohh112]

Not really in this case, only positive displacement superchargers provide improvement in power on low RPMs. Here they used centrifugal supercharger which is belt driven and has turbine like a turbocharger. That means more RPM you have, more boost it makes. On low RPM it can be even a disadvantage to naturally aspirated engine because it creates load on the engine and doesn't make much boost, which explains last race.

Supercharger for me

[@mar_caum7565]

@@5ohh112 Makes sense also. Don't really know if there is a universal right choice when it comes to these 2.

[@imaginerose]

To be honest i expected the supercharger to win. Turbos might be cool and all but unless you've got some insane pressure on them, you're not gonna miraculously pull ahead from last place. Superchargers (depending on the type) sometimes have more power at lower RPM's, which means that in a drag race, they get an advantage down low. Great vid as always, loved the sound of all 4!
