Mushy Pea Turbo Hits The Dyno - 3rd Time's A Charm!

[@PaulSmith-oy6fc]

I remember back to the time when you pulled that car out of an old guys paddock. Seeing it today and how it's performing. Real pleasure to watch and follow. Massive effort and massive credit to you.

[@Urchfab]

Thanks Paul

[@beezo2560]

It was quick before. Now it's a beast. Can't wait to see some comparable times at your local circuits. Well done Matt. All that struggle payed off massively.

[@Urchfab]

Cheers

[@olewurtz7625]

A very understandable “Happy Dance” at the end. Congrats on sorting it out 🍾

[@wackedoutdude]

My fave car on KZbin. Looks absolutely mega. Nice work with the build.

[@christopherward5065]

The hits keep coming! The Mongrel with a turbo really rocks!

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeahsssssss! Time for an external wastegate,weld the sucker to the exhaust housing of the turbo,can't beat it.Awesome stuff Matt

[@toxaq]

Cannot wait to see some track day footage

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Well - that was certainly worth waiting for Matt, wow!! Sounds great!! I bet you cannot wait to get it on the track!! What a cracking motor!!

[@garrydeimert7397]

Good choice with Steve, he is a top guy, got my mx5 turbo flying, and my mk2 gti max ecu sorted, funny guy... well done on the build, looks awesome.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Those celebration donuts were well earned. This car is the definition of ‘built not bought’, and you’ve done it all to such a high standard!

[@Urchfab]

Cheers.

[@joeyc8623]

Congrats on building an awesome toy.

[@neilfairless4589]

Matt, you don't need huge power when weight is on your side and that thing is rapid. Have fun marra, you've worked for it.

[@Urchfab]

Cheers

[@evanjohn503]

just shows you what a good built set-up can do - with 250bhp - brilliant

[@kevinlyon9501]

Celebration donuts and a cup of tea, yup forget all the heartache when it goes like that.👌

[@vogs72]

Never dreamed when I started watching the channel that you’d squeeze that power out of a car (that you’d finished painting). Cheers 👋🏻

[@rognevs5695]

🎉 brilliant outcome what a curve 😮 that’s what you call smooth power delivery. Happy days magic

[@Urchfab]

She's a honey mate. I'll let you have a go.

[@nicolelongneckergallery]

Boost creep with internal wastegates can be a real problem. I suggest in future updates, swuth to a turbo with external wastegate. LOVE this build.

[@richardsmiths518]

Great workmanship in this car. Top class Matt

[@Urchfab]

Cheers

[@cogboy302]

I've always loved the Mongrel. It's brilliant. An amazing build.

[@Mike.Howard]

She's a little ripper, with some sweet curves too! Great work Matt & sweet tuning Steve 👍👍

[@derekcomer4858]

What a bummer with the bent rod, but a really positive outcome now. Glad you found Steve 👍

[@Urchfab]

Me too.Cheers

[@AJC508]

Matt - fabrication quality is amazing. You deserve far more subscribers, a sponsorship deal, a harem and maybe even some chocolate. Well done sir. edit: is that nearly double the original flywheel power? From memory that 1.6 atmo makes about 130. Edit 2: now can you get an SVA?

[@Urchfab]

Thanks Adam. It was at 160hp and 120 trq its now 245hp and 200trq. Not sure on an sva. Cheers

[@Chilled_Mackers]

Being offered a brew is a sign of acknowledgement, having a good brew made well is a sign of endearment. Going to see CTCRC at Brands Hatch - then I can watch the BARC streams when i get back 🤓

[@Urchfab]

Indeed.

[@paulknight9413]

P clips for the long hose. The black heat sleeve is really for fire protection. Try for stainless braised ptfe hose with silver reflective.

[@davidyates748]

Great result Matt, that's some stout power in something so light! It was easy everyone would be doing it! 😁

[@Urchfab]

Cheers

[@J1mbo888]

Top Work by a Top Guy. Your work in this project is excellent. Keep it up 🙂

Well done Matt.

[@scssarge4409]

The dyno linea is very nice. good work guys.

[@terencehawkes3933]

First time I've seen the Mongrel with its turbo. Lovely-looking installation, Matt! Egad! Sorry about your first engine! Bummer! 246. bhp, pretty damned good! What a beast!

[@superseven7947]

some serious horsepower now Matt😁👍

[@jamesfoxall2844]

Wow! Looks like a right giggle.

[@starchiefrussell4703]

Great video, and very pleased for you that the final outcome was what you wanted.

[@xavierbabin4451]

Great work ! Lovely car Hello from France 🇫🇷 !

[@lindkvistandreas]

I had some issues with my forge actuator also but i found that the "preload" on the arm can make a huge difference.. also it could be good to check the colour of the spring inside so that it is actually what it is supposed to be!

[@Urchfab]

We did play around with it and it had the lowest spring available. It would still hit 12 psi. Cheers

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Outstanding! Can't wait to see the track footage. 👍✔

[@terranceroff8113]

just a hair short of 200 hp.. gonna be a beast! Lordy I hape you have the suspension set up right or she'll near undriveable.. Watch for to much push in the corners. Strait line runs however, take her to the 1/4 mile! Have fun!

[@rosshannemann7772]

Stonking performance matt,rocket ship on track 🎉

Great to see you and your car back just wanting for a track day now cheers.

[@robbollom7396]

well done Mtt...shes pumping out good hp now..GO MUSHY PEA

[@kenlangbridge9907]

It looks proper sporty now. Well done on the tuning. Bugger about the first /second engine. Can’t wait until the pea soup beast is on the track. I’m sure it will find the grip limits on the tyres. Well done on all your hard work and perseverance.

[@jimschafer9196]

Great content and hard work pays off, great solution to prevent any more carnage, blessings to all your efforts, looking forward to you "race day" of this great build keep after it. Thanks for the update too.

[@dennistwitchell8821]

Love seeing the little car making big power. Understand needing a break. I was getting worried though.

[@kevinhamling1963]

G'day, Awesome video. I know exactly what you mean about the ups and downs when building a car. I have two on the go. But that first trouble-free road test is such a buzz. Good luck with the track day. This thing is going to fly. Thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

[@Urchfab]

Thanks Kevin, if you could send over some sun shine it would be much appreciated.

It's definitely worth the hard work and the disappointment of the other engine. Keep your head up. You're doing great work and great videos. I'm looking forward to the track day footage. Excellent work. In Lincolnshire they call that "A job up town"! Well done with persevering.

[@turboslugfiero]

Yep! Linear power delivery is what you need👍 No widow-maker uncontroled boost for us thank you very much! This car is a real track-day weapon now🤘 I would love to go up against the Mushy Pea one day; next time you're in France maybe😉

[@JulianFoley]

Wow! You/ve built a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

I use hard lines for most of my vacuum lines. Absolutely worth getting a good flare and bending set(s) There may be a small segment of hose I use in odd sections that are far enough from heat, but after working on diesel and rotary engines, I'm too familiar with melting or blowing off vacuum lines.

[@Urchfab]

I'd like to upgrade all the lines in the car. I'll add those to the list. Cheers

[@brw2110]

You have a nice few subs now. Well done dude :)

[@BEYTEK]

yeah its creeping a bit up top. sometimes a little more timing after peak torque can reduce the creep. or port the internal gate a little more. the inside of it where it transfers. after a certain rpm the actual speed of the air flowing past dosnt like to turn 90 bends. good job man

[@tompayne4945]

That push through the gears about as fast as you can though... Magic, good Lad...now enjoy it 🙏

[@Urchfab]

Thanks mate.

[@dommoss4264]

Is the old lump upgradable or knackered? Set of rods and eventually have a back up motor capable of a bit more boost? It sounds sweet and reliable as it is though and your attention to detail is 👌

[@Urchfab]

Yes It should go again with some straight rods. With decent rods and the rings correctly gapped they are apparently safe to 300hp. Cheers

[@richardcline1337]

I used to own a 100E back in high school. I've searched for quite a while for one but they are becoming very rare in the US. Most have been butchered by being turned into drag racers. The rest have met their fate at a scrapyard. A sad fate for such a great little car.

[@Urchfab]

There's still a few standard ones here in the UK. fairly cheap too for an old classic.

[@richardcline1337]

@@Urchfab, for an old car and an aging design they are rugged and dependable cars. I wish all of them ones here in the US hadn't been butchered as they were by drag racers.

[@JimmyHamAnp]

Great job!

[@andrewwilson3663]

Matt, classy job. Don't go posting vids on public roads mate, enjoy it on the track and don't get into trouble. Cheers

[@wayneclement7201]

Hi Matt, I doubt it matters now, but did you smooth the transition from the T25 flange to the waste gate port? That helps with boost creep/problems too, I reckon you could safely take a lil more meat from the flapper side, you're no noob

[@Urchfab]

Yes I did smooth that out a bit but it already looked like a nice transition so it was very minimal. Cheers

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

If it goes it's gone, probably for good. Life will eat your money if your car passion don't. The hard bit's done. Just saying. Another beautiful flat torque line!. Jag man's on it. Looking forward to seeing some laps. Smile on dude 😎

I can't recall whether that is a 1600CC or 1800CC motor. Does anyone know? My '89 MX5 1600CC makes (made) 202BHP at the wheels with the EVO turbo kit here in OZ. That feels rather quick. In the lighter Mushy Peas, I imagine it would make you smile a lot.

[@Urchfab]

It's a 1800. Definitely feels quick.
