Jonathan Long It isn't faster than an Evo. Clarkson was demonstrating that if you're not on boost, the car isn't fast. You only achieve boost at higher RPMs, meaning you need to downshift in order to get the car to go fast. If both cars stayed in their highest gear and continued for 2 miles, the Evo eventually would've hit boost and caught up and passed it, but it takes too long for that to occur, and of course the Lamborghini doesn't have that problem because it's a more powerful engine. However, if all cars were to downshift and maxamize the performance of their vehicle. The Fiat would be eating the Evo and Lambo's dust...which is what you would realistically do in a race ._.

This 'turbo lag' Jeremy is explaining... just so happens to be called boost threshold; the RPM in which the turbo can spin fast enough to build pressure. it is commonly confused with turbo lag. Turbo lag is when the turbine is spinning fast enough, the time between you mashing the throttle to the floor and the turbo providing that nice boost!

flooring a turbo engine at low rpm in a very high gear is a good way to blow the engine as it loads up the turbo. Instead drop down a gear, the evo fq400 will have aggressive cams for top end, a large turbo and low compression engine to run a lot of turbo boost, it has a short ratio gearbox for a reason, so naturally it'll have a high boost threshold. 4th gear around 60kph - 80kph is a good way to demonstrate turbo response

Example; F1 cars have a stupidly high boost threshhold, only making decent power above 8,000rpm, but they have incredible throttle response (little to no lag).

He always said that one great thing about the show is that a girl can watch the show, look at her drunk boyfriend sitting next to her and think he's not so bad after all. People have an appetite for watching other peoples failures. It makes them feel better about themselves, and I think that is part of what draws the crowds.

When it comes to using your turbo most drivers who know what they are doing will drop one or maybe two gears depending what you are doing. Also waiting for the turbo too spool up is not turbo lag. Turbo lag is when you are pushing high revs then you suddenly let of the gas and press it back on again that time for the turbo to boost again is turbo lag.

He was simply demonstrating the downside to having a small engine with a massive turbo. Most modern engines already have a pretty topheavy torque curve, but in this case it's taken to quite an extreme. You absolutely have to rev this engine high to make it move. Some people don't mind that and that's fine, but it was a relevant thing to demonstrate. Now if the 2 cars weren't cruising at similar revs then I'd say it was unfair.

I've seen this episode a number of times, but I just realized this: He's in either 5th or 6th gear, doing 30MPH, and he matted it expecting to fly. No where near boost and facing a car that's most likely an automatic and will most likely automatically downshift. I mean c'mon, do you really expect to hit boost anytime soon while in 6th gear? The RPMs are around 1000-2000 and boost usually kicks in around 4500-5000 (don't know when the turbo kicks in on EVOs so here's a rough estimate) If they had done it where the EVO was in the appropriate gear for doing 30MPH and then floored it, he would have made dust of the other car.

It has almost nothing to do with the mapping. But yes you could improve the driveability of the car significantly with a modern day turbo setup like a twin-scroll with VTG, or a sequential bi-turbo setup (like what BMW use), or a superchager for the lower rev range that cuts out as the turbo comes in (like VWs TFSi engines) but all would increase the complexity and cost and weren't well proven tech back in 2004 either. What Mitsubishi achieved in the context of the time period (20 years ago almost) is pretty damn impressive.

Get your head straight. This is Top Gear, the comparisons will be shit! And still it is a great programme :)

Depends extremely on the charger. Big turbos does have big fans that does have much inertia, so they can just be used at higher revs. Possibly the charger sets in not until 4000 r/min or higher. Before, you're practically driving uncharged. So Evo's 2 l aspirated before 4000 r/min should equal about 150-200 hp. Torque is btw much more affected and so decreased.

does it REALLY matter

1:08 we’re both in top gear... What? The gear or the show.

Even if they were doing 50 mph, standard motorway speed, it would still lag super hard. And going from 50 to 70 is what you'll be doing a LOT on a motorway. The test is there to show that the Evo has no low RPM torque.

One of the benefits of a supercharger I guess...instant power. Although there are drawbacks as well.

Iron Tarkus the point of showing car abuse? You're not supposed to use high gears to spool up your turbo... it causes premature wear of bearings and impellers. It's too low of pressure. Its just pure ignorance. The point he's 'proving' is what everyone with a turbo already knows. Plus these already have a spool range between 3500 and 8000rpm but the decline starts at 7000rpm. So in high gear at low speed, of course you'll be out of the boost range for a whiiiiile.

try shifting down a gear and back up which will give the car a jump to set off the turbo

GranTurismo he was in the wrong gear

With a Turbocharged car you are never suppose to put your foot down while in a high gear below a certain RPM since it can cause engine knock and overboosting.

Jeremy called the cars skirt a "spoiler". Lol he like a TV doctor

He's obviously joking when he's " bashing " on the EVO

Yes, You have to know how to drive an Evo. Then it is just the perfect car.

He's demonstrating boost threshold, not turbo lag. That being said, I was really surprised at how slow the Evo VI I drove was when it was off boost.

turbo lag is the time it takes for your turbo to reach its optimum speed in order to give you boost. for the most part smaller turbos spool quicker giving you less lag and bigger ones longer giving you more lag but greater power due to colder air by reduced friction and more dense air.

The Jordan comment was spot-on. 😂

I have an evo, and I actually like the turbo lag. When you're not driving around in boost you save a lot of gas, it's a win win. Because the power is there when you want it, and the mpgs are there when you want them too. Evos are actually extremely easy to drive. I have no idea what he's talking about with the clutch.
