Just clock views

first one is with odrive off till it reaches its limit

second one i switch odrive on at 70 mph

watch the rpm gauge on the second one you can see where it loses traction just over 6000rpm

That was 0-60 in 13 seconds :eek:

nice mod, you installed your z dash in your transit! ;)

That was 0-60 in 13 seconds :eek:

 

judging from the gearing I'd say that was reading in mph..

Hope so for his sake, lol

roflmao

yep forgot to say its in mph

oh how i laughed

What's Wrong with it? :confused:

 

You switch your overdrive on and effectively you have just changed up a gear. Therefore you fell out of the powerband where the car delivers peek power. Thus you don't acclerate as quickly until your back in correct rev range. Thats exactly what the overdrive should do and is designed to make your car more fuel efficient durring normal driving. Unless you own your own oil company. Then who needs it.

 

P.S. Loss of traction is when the wheels spin due to exccesive RWHP for the tyres to be able to apply traction to the surface you are trying drive on.

 

That car seems to be working well enough and so too does your gearbox. the 0 to 60 was smack on the nose at about 5.2. I asssume its a Jspec. Get a oil cooler on it if it aint got one, because motorway and high speed driving fry the auto boxes.

without overdrive it tops out at 130...and accelerates slower to that figure as well once into the higher gear which is what the second video shows as they were both run down the same place with the same braking points

and yes i know what loss of traction is

the rear wheels lost it for a second as you can hear the revs blip up a bit just after 6000rpm and i know they did this as i felt it as well

130?? are you sure???

take a look here

baggins says with odrive off it should top out about 125

??? I take it back then you need your box looking at. My old Auto was much pacier to 130 with O/D off and would only spin wheels from standstill when O/D off.

That was just slack in the prop, trany and diff as the car disengaged and reengaged drive and fed back to you by proberbly aging bushes, ball joints and Hicas, it quite normal as the cars are getting on a bit. Wheel spin produces a much bigger and dramatic rev spike.

 

I'm sorry but when it comes to the techno gubbings as to whats happening in your box you need to speek to a auto box expert. If I was to hazard a guess I'd say its a Torque convertet issue from past experience. That isn't right though yout 0 to 60 is spot on :confused: :confused: sure you arn't confusing the rev hold with O/D

just a thought... did you rev it a little b4 u put it in drive?

nah held the revs on the brakes

Sorry my bad, didnt read the bit about O/D being switched off

just timed the actual go to 60 and beyond

60 is in 5 secs

100 is in 12 secs

not too shabby

120 is in 19 secs and 140 is in 26

 

is this running slow?

I've just watch both vids again and 0 to 60 are about the same as you'd expect and 70 to your indicated 130 is actually about a second and a half quicker to on first vid which it should be. Slower second vid because you punched the O/D on. Thats spot on. + it sounds right as well.

 

:confused: :confused:

 

Your getting the my car isn't as fast as it was Paranoya. Which can only lead to expensive upgrades and a general reduction in bank balance and future quality of life as the quest for power navarna takes hold.

 

Don't DOOOOOO IT that car sounds and seem to perorm as it should.

so i should hit the odrive on at about 120 ish then?

Ace vids mate, makes me wanna get mine back on the road...hats off!

iv been advised not to use o/d above 80mph to preserve the box life!

good point well made joely

That should be use over 80 if you want to preserve box. Just think this one out less revs less torque means less ware and tare.

If you practicing for the Pod yep.

in all honesty i usually drive with od on all the time except when i really want to punch it.

Just thought i would run a few tests to see the results

going for a straight through exhaust soon tho so should sound nicer

I wouldn't decat if you still on original tubs as the Turbo oil seals are 99% likely to go and then thats engine out and that usually means new wiring loom and a shit load of other electrics that have all been baked to death in the engine bay. Still get nice sound just cat back.

lol, by not use it, i meant not use it turned off over 80... :wack: what an arse about face of sayin it!
