Thanks for the help with the boost guage issue.

 

Another question now. The car i test drived yesterday was pulling 25mph per 1000 revs in 5th, is that right? I thought the gearing was taller than that?

 

Engine redlines at 6700 doesnt it? So that would mean 167.5 potential top speed - right?

 

Its not really the kinda thing you can do in someone elses car, I mean if someone test drove my car and redlined it, they'd be walking back to their car.. Gotta show a bit of respect!

 

Its not like I intend driving flat out anywhere, but could indicate a different gearbox from a N/A or something.

 

I'm sure you guys will know, its not another series specific thing is it? woulda thought all tt's had same final drive and cog box.

 

Here's hoping.

 

Cheers

I believe Fifth is 0.752:1 with 3.692:1 on the Diff, according to one of my Post-Its

Sorry, computer says 'No'. Whats that in simple terms? How fast does 2000 revs (or whatever revs you want) in fifth, equate to in terms of indicated speed on the dash.

 

Thanks for the help.

For my TT manual 3k revs equals roughly 80mph.

yeah its about 2700rpm/ 2900rpm iirc. im mine any way

was is a non turbo you test drove as the diff ratios are different between tt and na

 

ratios are the same in the gearboxes tho

For tall gears get an auto, 1k revs = 30mph means at 150mph is just 5k revs

One thing to concider is what road wheels are fitted, after market wheel / tyre combinations can mix it all up either way, and of course over revving is controlled by the rev limiter

Stock Manual TT Ratios. Stock Wheels.

 

Theoretical top speeds per rpm in 5th gear :

 

1000rpm - 26.4 mph

2000rpm - 52.8 mph

3000rpm - 79.2 mph

4000rpm - 105.7 mph

5000rpm - 132.2 mph

6000rpm - 158.4 mph

6800rpm - 179.7 mph (stock rpm limit)

 

7200rpm - 190.3 mph (typical Raised rpm limit of Chipped ECU)

The car I drove was a TT..

 

Was still in km/h but was reading approx 40 km/h in fifth per 1000 revs, so not far off what was mentioned above.

 

Car did have a set of after market alloys on, so that would allow for a little difference between what it should be and what it actually is.

 

Was getting paranoid that the car started life as an N/A but had a different lump dropped in at a later date, however, all seems to be in order after a little advice from this forum.

 

After months of trying to find the right car, I think i've found one at an affordable price. Going for another test drive tomorrow on a longer run just to put any worries to bed. All being well, this time tomorrow i'll be changing my moniker to leo-z32tt.

 

Thanks - its appreciated.:clap:
