Hi, bit of a funny question this, but how do I find out (without a dyno or go to Santa Pod) if my car is performing as it should?

 

It has no flat spots etc, pulls well, no missfiring etc. Compression is good, burns no oil, uses no water etc etc etc.

 

But, I find myself wondering just how fast it is.

 

Running just over 1 bar of boost, on new NIssmo 555's, JD chip, APexi, single exit pipe with cats. SWB TT manual.

 

Running 19' with 265 on the rear it will spin its wheels, straight line, dry road just by giving it a load of throttle at say from 10-15mph (ie no clutch dumping)

 

Any thoughts from those with a similar setup to give me an idea?

 

Please and thanks

get one of those digital readout jobbies that sucker to your windscreen, cant remember what theyre called now. failing that, just get someone to sit in the passenger seat with a stopwatch and do a few 0-60s :D

Yes, had one of those G meter things, but my son borrowed it and have not seen it since.

 

What sort of 0-60 should I be expecting?

ive got a g-tech pro RR, (Brag)

If it's running tip top, it should be capable of around 4.7 secs, with the right driver of course.

Ok, thanks, I might make low 7's then, lol. Will give it a try soon.

No reflection on you Mark.

 

People have said my car is capable of sub 5 seconds and I always say "it may well be, but not with me behind the wheel" LOL.

I have a Racelogic performance meter that gives you 0-60 times etc good bit of kit

Many a true word is spoken in jest.;)

Peoples abilities and their willingness or not to wring the final few revs out of the car before it cuts out on the limiter will have a big bearing on overall performance times

 

I have just spent the day at Bruntingthorpe thrashing mine to within 200 revs of its death point:slap:

But thats what I bought mine for.

It will get even more punishment on Sat this week when I attend Round three of the Z Club Drag Challenge at da Pod!:bow:

Potentially mid 4secs 0-60 ....getting a 0-60mph time lower than mid 4's is more about traction than power.

 

I recorded a 0-60 of 4.7 secs, and 0-100 of 11.9 secs on my old 2+2 TT Manual with 14psi. (and 5.6 and 14.1 respectively on stock boost).

Yep...although in my experience the NA loves to be revved and makes the most of taking it close to the limiter, whereas the TT does benefit from an earlier gear change

Chased an R34 GTR last night, he runs 1 bar with an exhaust and we were equal, but mine has found a misfire again on high boost, so without the missfire I would have just had the edge.

 

As I know him I do know he was trying his best, and I could hear it too. So, I guess mines about right?????

I like it! do it again and film it, i want to see!

Might be hard, now he knows he is on to a hiding (well sort of) he will be shy. And he would not play on the bends anyway.

 

His £22.000 against my £5000, and he got no where. LOL.....
