I have finally plugged mine in. Played with it a bit this morning, and got some interesting results!

Figures so far, lifted from the other thread:

Scottish Ian 8.8
Pezza 7.1
H.7 5.74
Wirdy 5.4

I have done a 6.02, 5.79 and 5.74!!! Interesting eh? Maybe my car has mods that I am not aware of? Or maybe I set the meter up badly? I'll play some more later. That was with me, a small number of tools and about 15 litres of optimax on board. The ambient temp was about 3 degrees, so nice cool air going in!

I weighed the car yesterday evening and came up with 1660 kg. That was with 1/4 showing on the petrol gauge (I think theres about 20-25 litres left at that point?) and no-one in the car. For reference mine is a pre-facelift auto legnum with leather.

Top figures!!! From tickover? So when you add your boost controller??? :)

I am now down to 6.00 so need to break that barrier LOL!!! (whilst keeping the points off my licence) I have not reset my ECU after 95 RON fuel..yet but now on BP ultimate...

Did you have enough road to get qtr mile figures?

I still cant match/beat the auto figures from using tip mode tho.. I may go out for a run up the high street this lunchtime /yes

I have some figures I recorded using my Apexi RSM - After setting it up and Guestimating the Loss Power figures, I record around 167bhp average and My quickest 0-60 has been 7.7 seconds - Cold dry day and no wheel spin on launch. I think this is reasonably accurate, given that my calculated 0-60 from Santa Pod worked out a 7.9 seconds on my best run, and that was with a fair amount of wheel spin in 1st gear.

Okay - returning from work I found a bit of road to play on.

2 more 0-60's, 6.10 and 5.87.

2 quarters, 14.70 @ 98.4 and 14.40 @ 101.2.

I am beginning to think that the gadget is being optimistic. I think I have set it up right - I removed and replaced it this afternoon before I drove home. It reads 0 on a flat surface and points as straight as my eye can see.

Hmmm......

Really need a point of reference now, either another car or Santa Pod........

Well I was interested in other peoples reading which is why I started asking for other peoples timings.. quite interesting to see how the close or varied the times are etc

At the mini meet can hava play and compare timings etc... just need to find some road :)

Am about to head out now so may do some more research

the lorry park at donnington is pretty big or there is a couple of nice stretchs of twin track round that way one is the m1 (bit busy though) and the other you need air traffic controls permission for (and you can't see the other traffic coz its above you ) actualy on a serious note just thought of a bit that goes from the A50 into long eaton i know it used to be quite coz of plenty of tea breaks :zzz: down there when i was lorry driving :thumbsdow

I did a 7.08 last night, but that was from idle - no attempt of anyt kind was made at a launch...

Quite impressed really. :2thumbsup For the tech minded, the ambient temp was -5, and the road was clear and dry.

I love my gearbox :smitten:

Just tickover revs for me. I never do 3000rpm launches day-to-day so it would be an artificial test for me to do so (and it would likely shorten the life of the transmission) ... but traffic light GP launches, now that's different :) I'm pleased with anything sub-6s as there's very little on the road will live with that.

Yeh from idle/tick over.... I actually lift off brake and plant foot down as soon as it begins to roll.

Not tried a 2000rpm launch ......

[QUOTE=adam_shaw]I did a 7.08 last night, but that was from idle - no attempt of anyt kind was made at a launch...[/QUOTE=adam_shaw]

Its the start of a slippery slope mate just u watch :)

Its been quite interesting to see how different the times are at different times of the day, surfaces, slight inclines etc. Having reset ECU after using 95RON (in a desparate situ) there has not been much difference at all in times either...


Looking through some of the bills and more documentation last nite that came with my car I am not sure if the previous owner fitted some in line fuel device... :anxious: as I came across some leaflet thing in the owners handbook.... not sure if this was to improve mpg or allow the use of any fuel etc.. I will check what the leaflet says at lunch time ..

NOW i aint saying that any of the mentioned times aren,t viable but how about posting a likkle piccy of your 0-60 or quarter mile times to back all claims!!! Also are these times from car idling from norm or you launching at 3000 rpm??? As i mentioned i know our cars are capable of hitting low times but i just want to see the difference in modified cars and standard.

Yeah yeah thats right nick, or even going to a Decent place that has rolling road stuff to measure all claims, it could be like a group thrash to see who,s talking turkey or who,s top notch. No bad intentions aimed at anybody though, it would just be a good thing to have the paperwork, to see where youre loosing power etc etc and to meet up and have a drink or two.

I have noticed that there is sumtimes a lil pause with the auto when you plant foot down...seems to get bogged down or even do nothing for a split second then its slow to 10 - 15 mph b4 it takes off..

I wonder if too many foot to the floor starts in succession starts to cause probs with box?

I dont remember this with the 97 auto saloon tho? is your pickup instant too PSB?

I have noticed that the colder the Auto box is , the quicker it launches . Theres hradly no pause , it's just kick u in the back of the neck and ur off.
As it warms up theres more of a pause ,but only for the first 5mph or so ..

Was all set to have a play tonight on my private test track (Higham 2 Kimbolton for those that know it) but it started to piss it down and I get wheel spin in the dry when I boot it from first so flooring it in the wet is a non-starter. I will try again when it dries up a bit.

yeah me too..... :D

did'nt get to do to many 1/4 runs unfortunatley(not enough road :rolleyes4 ) ..... with good launches they ranged from 14.5 to 15 secs

although on what felt like my best launch/run I had to lift off quite early(bloody farmers!) but still got a 14.8 @ 81mph but had already hit 90odd and was slowing down
was running 0.9 bar boost at the time...

its just a gizzmo after all...... aint no substitute for a proper run down the 1/4 mile...

I don't know, I don't think they're too optimistic. I did an official run at Crail in my standard manual Legacy RS-B at 13.72s and 102.6mph so the VR-4 times are what I'd expect.

Looking at the number of people cracking 100 at the 1/4 mile with the G-Tech and comparing that to the reality of modified cars at Santa Pod breaking 100 you will see that Nitrous is required for this feat! Derek and I have both snuck under 14 seconds with no gas, but have been in the 90-95 area.

Had a quick go this morning, just the one blast on the way to work and got a 8.03 0-60. I didn't think that was too bad for a first attempt, with a little bit of wheelspin. I shall of course be trying to beat that :)

Hmm a very interesting read in this thread since yesterday evening...

I have been using the G-Tech a fair bit, and yup the results do vary but with
the explanations about heat issues auto box and turbo, this now makes more sense.. I cannot beat 6.01 with .9 bar boost. Wirdy your best time is still safe..
for now :)

To get an idea what other cars are doing using the G-Tech is def interesting
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Keep em coming in..

I am not sure how accurate these gadgets are but how do APEX RSM and AP22
do the same job?

Am still interested in V6-24 estate times.. any one out there tried yet? The saloon times from PSB & Col sound way way quicker that me old estate would ever have been!

enigma
21-04-2005, 11:34 AM
The AP22 works in a very similar way using accelerometers

The Apexi uses a combination of accelerometers and actual speed input from the car. So it takes in to account wheelspin etc and self verifies the acceleration calculations. You would expect this to be more accurate.

The G-Tech and AP22 have no idea how far you have actually travelled or your speed, but base their numbers on calculations. I would expect the further you travel the more inaccurate they would be. If the sampling rate is not very high then these inaccuracies will grow as they become less and less representative of real world events.

So for the G-Tech 0-60 would be quite a good representation, but 1/4 mile in my opinion is too far to determine accurately using acceleration alone.

colVR4
21-04-2005, 12:09 PM
I did notice that the 0-60 time was displayed before my speedo was reading 60, so I think that it was slightly out. Need to do some more playing and find a better (quieter) test track.

Yeah, but you guys are launching from 3000rpm! My times were taken with an 800rpm (tickover) start.

From the link you posted, the confusing thing is why neither Derek nor you have terminal velocities in excess of 111mph ... :huh:

This will be down to transmission losses. Those calcs are theoretical and will not take this in to consideration.

The tickover start will primarily affect the ET and not the MPH.

On my way back from the gym last night i had sudden urges to take out my g-tech which has been sat under my passenger seat for two weeks and try and get some 0-60 figures. Not many private roads round the densly close knit houses and streets round here so i started to prowl for any road that looked quiet. Spotted a fairly long road that has windy bits and articulated 18 wheeler lorrys that like to pull out of there depos at any given time so i thought right.. lets go for it,fiddled about with the unit to get the setting to zero and go.... forgot to put the car in drive..DOH second try and hes off -9.06 sec. fcuk me i thought, i aint havin that, i know ive got 15 inch speaker & box the size of the tardis but that cant be right. launch 2- 7.56, launch 3-7.17. i still thought i aint havin that, plus the road did start to get busy so off i went prowling for quiet roads, mind it was after 10 oclock, i eventually got to the road that leads to where i live, Fcuk it i thought, i going to really go for it now, launch 4 was my best time yet 6.21 :drummer: :thumbsup: . I did one more for for the hell of it 6.54 and was well pleased. car is bog standard and launching from 800rpm. Took some pics of my 0-60 times and will try to post later. :happy:

Must admit, it the first time ive actually seen my revs needle tickling the forbidden red zones since ive had ownership and car didn't feel like it was struggling or about to detonate which brings a huge grin to my face and the hankering of exhaust,filter,and cat pipe coming very soon to free up some extra ponies and grin factor. some 0-60 times could be in trouble so watch this space HA HA HE HE HA HE HO :evilgrin: :laugh: :D :evil2:

Just popped to the shop last night to get a wee drinky to settle down with for the eve , and just happened to pass my own personal Test Track by the coincidence . :inquisiti
Looked up at my windscreen and Lady luck was shining down on me from a high ,cos there stuck to my screen was my GTech .. Well i never .. /yes
Anyway never let anyone say that i will let a chance pass me by , i thought i'd have a couple of 0-60 runs just as i'm here .. :evil2:
Ok .. 5 runs

And here they are ..

3/4 Tank of Fuel (check)
Traction On (check)
Dry Roads (check)
9 Degrees C on the outside (check)
Dumpvalve Shut (check)( cos somtimes i feel it's a Tad slower wiv it open )
Oh yes , AND JUST LITTLE OL ME ! (check) Well not so little :rolleyes4

1. 5.18sec
2. 5.13sec
3. 5.28sec
4. 5.21sec
5. 5.31sec

So Non to shabby then ..

On all of these runs i had the GTech spot on level ..

I've had a chance to get a few more figures from my G-tech after getting the hang of setting it up and looking for a long flat piece of tarmac. Of about 10 runs that I have done they are starting to average out at about 8.3-8.4 0-60 times.

Still not too shabby considering that the book 0-60 time for the auto V6 is nearly 9 secs!! I haven't tried launching with revs yet so that may help. Need to make some more mods to get it a bit quicker though.

AHEM/ DECAT needed..... :D

Cheers Pez .. Nope i ain't running that much boost .. Well i don't think so . As i only have a manual gauge as well with a needle it's hard to accurately say what boost i'm running .. But i haven't got it high enough to bring on fuel cut .. The only time i will get fuel cut is if i have it in Tip and floor the juice pedal at to lower revs .. If you always make sure your in the 3000 to 7000 rpm range before you floor it ,you can run abit higher boost without fuel cut ..
My best 0-60 by far is a 5.08 on a very cold morning 0 degrees /dry road/ damp air /traction off /and nearly empty tank .. :evil2:

And yup I too got some nasty fuel cuts but in full auto mode, in 2nd gear.. I floored it from low revs and got the scariest jolt a couple of days ago...the gauge did not register as high as 0.9 tho so not sure what happened there...
I had never received cuts before until I changed my air filter / induction. I am back to standard boost (or close to it) and car feels so smooth changes and revs nicely...

Anyways ,back to thread topic :embarasse

Am using a two way restrictor valve.. not a car modding name brand but from an engineering company who amongst things manufacture high pressure pneumatic parts...

They come highly recommended from our Established members Wirdy and Nick F1

When setting up these devices do you note peak boost at around 4 - 5k revs as I do see a boost spike changing between 1st and 2nd...

Pez .. I don't see a boost spike as you do..

But try this out and you will see wot i mean about using the right rev range..

When your next out in your ride get onto a road where you can hold a steady speed of 30mph in 2nd in Tip and note the wot the boost is reading .. Then keeping at he same speed knock it into 3rd , you wil notice that the manifold pressur rises , then knock it upto 4th and see it rses again . and so on all the way up to 14th gear .. :inquisiti
Obviously this is something to do with the load put on the engine from the higher gear ratios . Wot that quite means or exactly what i'm trying to tell you , i don't really know as i'm not that technically or mechanically or knowledgeble to explain it ..

All i know is that if you are into higher gear when you floor the juice pedal this exerts extra load on the engine therefore raising the manifold pressure and giving you boost spike . WTF :rolleyes4 Time for bed i think /yes

Took my car out for it's first real test since New Exhaust been fitted.. Also took along 3 Gtech Pro's mounted side by side on my windscreen to test the accuracy between then :rolleyes4 .. I know this doesn't show how accurate they are compared to proper 0 -60 timing equipment
, but it shows if there is much variation between units ..
And here they are ..

Between 3/4 and a Full Tank of Optimax Fuel (check)
Traction On (check)
Dry Roads (check)
9 Degrees C on the outside (check)
Dumpvalve Open (check

1st Gtech 2nd Gtech 3rd Gtech
1. 5.05sec 5.05sec 5.04sec
2. 5.16sec 5.17sec 5.15sec
3. 5.13sec 5.13sec 5.14sec

I was surprised how close they actually were , i was expecting a bit more of a variation. /yes

I was launching at 2500rpm and it was certainly kicking me back in my seat :thumbsup:

Had a little thrash out in it yesterday Morn on B Road heading towards wisbech , Tis a bumpy old road but the car pulled strongly upto 130mph and it felt steady as a rock and then i slammed the anchors on at 130 and brought it to a standstill .. It was twitching a bit cos it was standing on it's nose and the lightened up quite a bit at the rear but nothing that wasn't to hard to compensate with a little adjustment of the wheel . :inquisiti

So i think it deffo feels a bit more touquey once on the move with the new exhaust. Oh yes and it sounds awesome when on full throttle with the windows down.. :thumbsup:
So anyone looking for there first power upgrade go for the exhaust /yes

I have done some launches from tickover and they were coming out around the 5.5 to 5.7 mark and an od 5.8.. I think possibly if you repeatedly rag your box from standstill to 60mph and launching from 2500rpm it will eventually kill it .. But it will certainly take some hammer b4 it goes .. i am unsure of how peeps are launching from 3000rpm + cos with my foot on the brake and juice pedal right down the revs won't go much above 2500rpm .. ??

I,ve been bitten by the bug of Sub 5.0sec 0-60 runs ..

I hadn't even thought about it until i took the Vee out for a spin last week and he said .. "Don't you be tempted to tweak that boost controller in the search for a Sub 5 sec run .. /yes

Well i just got back from my personal test track after tweaking my boost controller another 180 degrees anti clockwise.. :inquisiti

Armed with 2 Gtechs side by side , i launched and struggled to hold it still as i saw the revs touch the 3000rpm b4 i launched .. /yes

And jeeeeez did it launch :evil2:

Here is the outcome of 4 runs ..

Between 1/2 and 3/4 of Optimax Fuel (check)
Traction On (check)
Dry Roads (check)
10 Degrees C on the outside (check)
Dumpvalve Open (check

1st Gtech 2nd Gtech

2. 4.88sec 4.86sec
3. 5.03sec 5.06sec
4. 4.91sec 4.87sec

Tell you the truth it scared the living sh1t outta me cos i wasn't expecting anything but a whole load of Fuel Cut .. /yes
But as my car seems to be running a hell of a ritch at the Mo that might of stopped it .. :inquisiti

I think it's time to stop playing now B4 i break something , and then Missus Wodj breaks something on me too .. /grr

I know some members are sceptical of how accurate these gtechs actually are , and i'm not for a minute gonna claim that i've achieve a legitimate 4.78 0-60 time . But i'm damn sure that i'm around the 5 sec flat mark ,give or take a 100th .. :thumbsup:

And main mods are: boost controller, zorst and decat?

But like Vee says and you just said tweak that controller back round to what it was!!!! just in case /yes

In all that excitement and adrenaline rush did you notice what yer boost gauge peaked at? Hmm. (am thinking of goin to lekky gauge so I can get more accurate measurement and peak) My pal at mitsu reckons these engines are strong enough and can take some stick tho. He reckons he has only had 2 engines back with serious damage in the last 8 years of working there.... I guess he doesn't know what the ClubVR4 guys get up to then! :leer: :inquisiti

As for the accuracy of G-Techs... the units seem to be fairly accurate between eachother...

On Saturday, the difference between Dereks AP and G-tech was about 2 to 3 tenths... on the 2 runs... Against BDAs Apexi I think it was closer esp on BDAs fasterst run of 5.22 when the apexi measured 5.32 (I think Apexi registered 5.32 for a 0 - 62mph tho?)

So all in all I dont think that the G Tech is grossly out, unlike your gearbox, which will be 50 yards down the road behind you if you continue to do 3K launches! :rolleyes4 :rolleyes4

You could have a point about the quarter mile times, there are some instances where the unit does not stop or clock 1/4 mile times and it continues to clock time... esp if you back off after the 0 -60 times but do not brake :rolleyes4

There was a difference of almost a second between Dereks AP and G Tech for the quarter mile time... Derek did not want to get points on his licence so I did not get another opportunity for 1/4 mile times /yes . With Nicks G Tech, however, the 1/4 mile times were close...

I did only 3 runs, I managed to get that time on the first (after having driven *sensibly* all evening). It was obvious the gearbox wasn't expecting such maltreatment as the subsequent runs were 5.22 then 5.49... I took the hint and stopped after that /yes (the sub 5 may be attempted another day)

I decided to give it a go as car felt different having returned a 2 and a 3 tonne trolley jack to a pal and taking the crate of car parts and emergency bits out the car.. plus the night air was cold..approx 5 degrees with light mist patches.


The little boost hike was definitely effective though. But still feel the biggest change was replacing the rusting and slightly blowing exhuast section from cat back to backbox and the using of original airbox with K&N panel filter once more. Not received the power cut once in past 4 weeks...

How was the Traction ? I did 3 runs to get the 4.92, my first was a 3000rpm launch with T/C off and it just span and went sideways(left). Next with 3000rpm and T/C on it just kept cutting in and all 3 AYC bars just stayed lit.
Lastly T/C on and 2000rpm launch, it still stuggled from grip a bit as the T/C light was on but only 2 bars on the AYC.

Again, well done :thumbsup:

Was the surface you launched on greasy/wet? Maybe your tyres are shot?

It was dry up my way last night.. I have never had any traction issues at all when doing a run. Apart from creeping when holdingthe car to launch.. Even when trying to light the dash I have only ever managed TCL about 3 times since owning the car? :inquisiti

My tyres are not great, they could be even starting to border on ..illeg*coff* :-policema Even in the standing rain last week with that 5.42 I saw no TCL or even AYC pulling away in a straight line.. :inquisiti Maybe its the 235 tyres? or the excess weight in the boot (similar to the concrete slabs in the 3.0 sport or ghia capri effect)

1st one was a 70% throttle run and I got 7.2 on the Apexi but didn't realise I had to brake to below 60 to store the GTech run! Doh! I also hit fuel cut at 0.98Bar :(

Did you reduce the frequency fuel cut by clamping the MAF signal with e-manage?

The roads around here are too chocked to attempt any runs in the morning.. altho that's when the car feels at its most potent tho.. but wary about thrashing the engine esp as the distance to work is not great :embarasse

I have only applied fuel cut defence at wide open throttle, so it still kicks in when I am gentle on the loud pedal!

What sort of times have you guys had on a 0-60 time without lanuch ?

nick i take it you had your car in tip mode, left it in first to get that mad time !

Nick Mann
16-11-2005, 02:13 PM
Pezz - the rev limiter is just into the rev range. Next time you are feeling brave, rev the engine hard and you'll hear the effect the limiter has. I usually feel it when I floor it away from lights and forget I have not put the car back into drive from tip!

Paul - The estimate from the guys who set up the unichip was around 240 at the wheels. They say they can't measure auto boxes accurately. With the massive drive train losses in a 4WD auto car, I think that would come out somewhere near 340 at the engine. And there is no point accelerating from a standstill in tip. Full auto will win every time from a standing start.

Nick Mann

Plug the G-tech in.
Set the switch to the middle position for a 0-60.
The display will now be flashing between accel and force or something similar. Choose accel by pressing the switch.
The display will now revert to the current g-force, displayed as a number.
Choose a suitable start location and stop.
Level the display so it is reading as close to 0 as possible.
Press the button, the display will flash and once it is ready it will display -go- .
Go for your life!

Once you have passed 60, slowing down below 60 will start the 60-0 distance counter, carry on accelerating for 1/4 mile figures.

If you carry on, the 0-60 time will not be stored. If you slow then it will.

Photographic evidence will be posted when I get home, but Mr Mann has already seen the proof! :thumbsup:

I had the RSM set to record power rather than 0-60, and it recorded a peak power at 5248RPM of 254BHP - not bad for 2nd gear! :rolleyes4

Oh and by the way, I didn't adjust my car in any way shape or form, its still set to 0.9 Bar boost.

I did experience quite a lot of wheelspin off the line as well, but it stayed straight and true!

No.... So far, nothing has ever been found... Even now i've got a boost gauge, no further clues have presented themselves. The curve is standard if a little uneven, which I escribe to a split diagphram in my blow off valve. On constant boost it only reads between 0.5 and 0.6, with occasional spikes to 0.8.

The only obvious tweaks are a panel and when Nick ran that 14.3, it was de-catted. One day I might pull the ECU and have a look, but It looks like it's never been touched.....

Ariadne still shrouds herself in a cloak of mystery....... I still feel there is much I have yet to find out about her.

Hmmm.. Interesting

Would be nice to see some GTech figures from you Kieren.. /yes

Although my car feels quick off the mark, i feel it is lacking the torque that alot of the cars on here seem to have once it is on the move from say 70mph onward. Still by best 1/4 mile is 14.5 summat.. this does not reflect well to the initial grunt the car seems to have. I still have a stock filter in though(Panel, not uprated). Maybe my flow is being resticted :inquisiti
Anyways will still be interesting to see what Boost Levels are showing on Jakester's car. The quickest standard car on here at the moment is Didingtonwizards at a 5.9secs from Brunt Thrash, which suprised most people. :rolleyes4 Cos that is Manual Saloon territory, not OLD MAN AUTO ESTATE Territory...So 5.4 is Bl**dy fast..

When I had my Galant i ran a 5.7 with the gtech.

However, that was with a decat, blitz exhaust, K&N panel, HKS Boost Controller at 0.8bar and a recent service. My time was about right.

Gtechs give a rough idea of time though... we're always going to have errors either way.

I agree there will be Errors .. But as i have tested multiple GTechs in the car at 1 time and there was only a few hundreths between them, then i reckon the most they will ever differ is a tenth on 0-60mph and thats in extreme cases..

/Hmmm

Have people who own GTechs checked them to make sure they are reading correctly.. :inquisiti

If you didn't alredy know if you take the GTech and hold it vertical so the face is diectly up, it should read -1g if you hold it vertically facing down it should read +1g.. If you have to tilt it very slightly off the vertical to achieve 1g then this isn't a problem as this slight variation is overcome when you 0 out the GTech before you begin a run.. /yes

But if the Gtech fails to read 1g either + or - then it will not calculate your times correctly. I have only ever known 1 Gtech to not read correctly out over 400+ . It read -95 and +105.. If it reads + or - 99 to 101 it's within a reasonable tolerance so will be pretty accurate.. Also Don't leave them siiting on your dash or window all the time as the extremes of heat and cold can affect there accuracy and don't go throwing them in the centre console or glove box when you finished either as the are a very delicate mechanism of a very tiny weight mounted centrally on a microchip. /yes

Yeah, I wanted to put 97 in, but the damn pump was out of action!! and, I was too close to empty to make it to the nearest BP. I usually run it on BP Ultimate, but, have found that it seems to run much better on Texaco Super 97.

I have owned the car for a couple of months, it's previous owner was Smokinmasta off here. The only mods at the time I got it were an induction kit, decat pipe and aftermarket BOV. I believe that it has had a new fuel pump installed, but, I think it was an oem unit. The only mod I have done is to add a 3" stainless catback.

For those that have installed a boost controller, can you tell me if the actuators are single port, and, are they linked so I can tee the new solenoid into a single source.

Well, after having the Gtech for about 3 weeks now (Thanks Wodjno), I decided i'd better have a go with it on my way home from work last night. Didn't have much time so I only did one run and was pleasantly surprised.

9.80 with no revs a small bit of BP Ultimate left in the tank and minus one rear leather seat. AFAIK the manufacturer 0-60 time for the bus is 10.1 so i'm quite chuffed. Now to get some octane boost and get rid of the other two rear seats and i might get under 9.00!!!

Woohoo :thumbsup:

Just haf another play with the boost controller on....it still needs setup fully, but, with a gentle setup and with a peak of 0.8bar I hit 5.24 secs, I think I will have the boost come in a bit stronger and try for a sub 5 :)

Does it feel a lot quicker at 0.8 bar generally? The pickup should be much stronger now?

jakester
05-01-2006, 04:59 PM
I have it setup so that it only boosts as far as 0.8, the delivery is gradual, and, slowly builds up, not just thump it in, so, not too stressfull on the components, it is pulling stronger throughout the rev range, as well as boost a lot smoother, it is much more responsive now.

I may have to thump it in at about 0.6bar to get below 5 though.

sounds good indeed..

Well, conditions were just too perfect today not to give it a go :). So, with the boost controller setup for low and high boost I gave it a shot. High boost on, A/C off, brake stand to 2500rpms, and, off we go.

Had a small boost spike to 0.99bar between gear changes, other than that, boost was a steady 0.85bar:

... and yes, I pretty certain I can go faster even at this boost level. /Banana
... and where for stock turbos this would be close to their real potential, 13Ts are just getting warmed up. /lol

What weight are you putting in to the G-tech when doing BHP calculations. I have 96 VR4 with all the kit on it plus some spares and a few tools in the car. I took mine down to a public wiegh bridge and including me it came out as 1780Kg +/- 10kg (3916lb). this is with full tank of fuel and i weigh 111kg. so the car weighs 1669kg a massive amount more than the book weight. i can only assume the book weight is dry, no fluids at all. I know 60L of fuel weighs 45kg (it is lighter than water for a give volume before anyone says it should weigh 60kg)

Let me know wht yours weighs.

Was the weight question directed toward me?

It's done by the book. Just what APEXI RSM manual says:
1540kg(car weight)+105kg(driver)+25kg(fuel)+30kg(etc)=1700 kg total.

Although I think I have 1675kg dialed in the RSM.

I am getting 348-367hp on APEXI RSM at current boost level.

Davezj
26-09-2006, 10:40 PM
with some extra weight added on, that HP figure will be even better. I got the weigh bridge from yellow pages, a lot of public tips have weigh bridge attached. If you can explain you don't need a certificate and it's only a test, do a bit of sweet talking the person may do you a free be, usually &#163;8ish for a certificate. Weekend tend to be less busy and they are more likely to be helpful. 2 min job to get it weighed and realy find out what your car got. It is going to be better then 348-367 for sure. i rekon you are about 100Kg short.

Hope to see some more fantanstic results soon.
Maybe i will post some results soon but they won't be anywhere near yours.

Best regards

Dave.

I use this:

"The new Rev/Speed Meter GP is a complete multi function measuring device designed to measure and monitor data such as vehicle speed, engine RPM, and elapsed times. However, the strength of the new unit lies in its differences. Probably the most obvious being its completely redesigned look. This new aesthetically pleasing model was crafted to match the likes of other highly popular A'PEX electronics such as the VAFC (VTEC Controller) and the AVCR (Boost Controller). The new screen utilizes the easy to read VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) with built in light sensor used in many of A'PEX's line up.

The new unit also delivers a host of new functions. Standard features include: Engine RPM, Vehicle Speed, Travel Distance, and Battery Voltage (All which can be displayed in real time graph mode, numerical mode, or analogue mode; 1-4 channels at a time.), Peak Hold, Replay (With 60 second playback.), Speed Limiter Cut, 0-100m, 200m, 400m times with trap speed, 0-100km/h, 200km/h, 300km/h times, 100km/h, 200km/h, 300km/h ?E0 times, user defined Mid Range Acceleration, Stop Watch functions, Best Time Memory, RPM Warning, Speed Warning, RPM and Speed Outputs (For external devices requiring an RPM or speed signal.), Tire Size Correction (For acceleration and timing accuracy.), and Vehicle weight input.

One of the most exiting of the new features is the option to utilize the revolutionary A'PEX G-Sensor (Sold separately). The G Sensor allows the unit to measure G forces in 4-way front/rear/left/right directions. This data can be plotted in a graph display to map acceleration characteristics and lateral G's on the race track, or used in an array of new features including: Highly accurate 100m/200m/400m times with trap speed and wheel-spin correction, Horsepower Calculation, and Loss Power Calculation. By taking advantage of the optional G Sensor, the user can produce extremely accurate acceleration measurements. Usually, when measuring acceleration times using the speed sensor signal alone, the meter will end measurement too early (shorter distance) due to wheel-spin. Using the G Sensor modifies the speed sensor signal, compensating for wheel-spin and producing impeccably accurate acceleration times."

Sorry, work commitments and stuff meant I couldn't get the car washed. There was no way I was posting pics of the car in its current state.

So after braving the bloody cold temperatures today and finally getting round to cleaning the car, I took some piccies. Unfortunately it had gone a bit dark so you will have to make do with these until I can get some pictures in the sunlight.

The exhaust has definately made a huge difference in power. The car is an animal now from standstill and I have had huge wheelspin when pulling away from junctions in the wet if I am turning at the same time.

Ooooh! Straight through to twin exits? Still catted? How many silencer boxes?

colVR4
19-11-2006, 09:29 PM
decatted, single in-line resonator, single silencer on rear passenger side from which the second tail-pipe diverts from (I think that several people have this set-up). I did want a full duplex that split just after the transmission but they were worried about the amount of space for a second silencer on the drivers side.

It booms a bit at low revs but WHAT a noise when I boot it!! I am starting to use the manual gate on the auto more to hold it in a lower gear to keep the revs between 2k and 3k to reduce the noise around town. It is fine on the motorway at 70-80 though.

Got my Gtech Pro SS yesterday. As with all new toys I had to play with it straight away. Got it all set up after about half hour of fiddling and decided that as the roads were not quite quiet enough I would have to launch from the layby/bus stop. Not my favourite because the surface is littered with grime and it means a slighty wiggly launch. Anyway, turned on the Nos, 75hp, launched from 3000 rpm and away I went. Gtech says 4.1 secs to 60 and at 0.42 secs was pulling 1.06 G's. Now I know my car is quick but I simply can't believe these figures.

Nutter_John
30-10-2007, 05:35 PM
i can believe it with a 75 shot of nos , you've got to be pushing 300 with you boost controller alone so around 375 seems a fair bit more so 4.1-4.4 sounds about right

That puts you straight in at joint top on the G-Tech League Table (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14855) which is a very good result. Suprising, maybe, but not impossible! Is it an easy swap from one car to another? Maybe someone else could check their time, or someone who still has an original G-Tech could lend you that for result comparson?

Am tempted to try again but having already seen the remains of the green liquid and metal chunks that came out of my gearbox before I had to replace it, am a little hesitant! :thinking:

Well - my update is that Marks G-Tech can't be far off. He sent it to me to verify and so I have tried it a bit recently. Unfortunately, since my recent re-tune it goes like stink except for first gear where I get massive fuel cut! As a result the best I can get is a 5.3 by short-shifting. I think that is pretty accurate. So I would say Marks times look legit! We'll have to get that rolling road day sorted out! Anyway around, they are fekking good times, Mark!

I just replaced it. was lucky to locate one at a good price.

The problems started with the car slamming into third, and then suddenly the car would shift up to 3rd and stay in 3rd, before the N light started to flash.

When I drained the ATF, it was green and contained fragments of gear!

A few months before I did try a couple of runs and did tried a launch on the brake and handbrake.... I had to abort the run and when I lifted off the throttle heard a slow grinding crunching sound... but the car drove and changed properly so thought nothing more of it. Maybe that was the start of it's demise.

Since getting the box replaced, I have'nt tried any launches... but may try later :thinking:

Nick Mann
03-02-2008, 10:26 PM
I think the official line has to be that it is never safe to launch. Having said that, many people launch at 2k revs, and some have repeatedly launched at higher revs than that.

The more you do it, the more strain you will put on the driveline, especially the torque converter and the ATF.

Hi all. I haven't been around for a while, too busy saving the planet and all that blah but I decided to have a blast in the car this afternoon as it has just had its 90,000 mile cam-belt service.

Went on to my 'private' test track just up the road from where I live, a nice long flat straight. Temperature was showing +3 degrees and I had a full tank of petrol. The car has been feeling really responsive since the service, so I was expecting good things...however.........I wasn't expecting this!!

I think the official way to get a time is to average multiple runs, preferably in different directions on the same bit of road.

However, none of us have ever done that!

It would be nice to see you repeat the 4.48! It would be better to see you get it on a 1/4 mile strip whilst the temperature is still low!

The time that I had on the strip was 14.01, with the 0-60 time equating to 5.2 secs. However, on that run the pipe that leads to the boost controller blew off so I don't know how much that affected the 0-60 or the total time. I am hoping to get to the strip next weekend to see what my car can do. I shall keep you posted.

Latest figures after playing tonight, first run a 5.56 second a 5.15 and third a 5.33. Lets take the average, TBH i aint launching too often at 3k:speechles

So mods wise, Magnecor Leads, 10psi of boost, Fujitsubo and downpipes. is this about right or should it be more?

i will have to reconnect the speed sense wire back in between engine ECU and auto ECU as this gets rid of the speed sense signal off the 12V supply that the lighter socket uses.

let me explain.
before i disconnected the speed sense wire to take the 112mph speed limiter off. i wondered how the G-tech it got it's signal from just conecting to the lighter socket. and what do you know now my g-tech doesn't work. i will have to fit a switch in line so if i do any track days i can use it. not that you are really going to do more than 112mph on a track. maybe a airfield day.

Bored while waiting for mum to arrive back from her wintersports (bus)trip we did a few 0-100kph runs in the Legnum yesterday.

Boost still standard, auto-box, 3" exhaust, PS-Iida downpipe, yet with cat still fitted, 98 BP ultimate fuel: best score we had: 6.8 sec in full-auto mode (tried tip-mode several times, never beated the auto-mode) (2 people in the car, full tank of fuel, cool morning, 110000km engine, revving at 1500rpm on start).

I arrived home from work last night and found that my Gtech had arrived. I couldn't wait so went out in the dark to give it a bash.
I managed a 6.06, and a couple of 6.2Xs.
Not bad but i was hoping for sub 6 secs.
Only when i had a look on this thread did i remember that i should have switched off the traction control. /pan

For info i've a PFL Auto with an MBC (12psi) and RPW downpipes+decat.
Unfortunately i've still got a blitz cone filter which was on the car when i bought it. The guy i got it from gave me the old air filter box and Ive ordered a panel filter so i'll have to get them installed, up the boost just a touch and remember that wee switch on the right before i give it another go. /rally

If those times are with no launch then I used to get between 5.9 to 6.1x... With a 2kish launch I would get low to mid 5s with electronic boost controller. With MBC the best I managed was 4.89...

Once you get low 5's yuo will be aiming to go sub 5! Dont kill the gearbox tho!

Just tried a G-Tech run now that my clutch works properly. Managed a 26 second quarter mile!!! Stupid traffic! Hehe

Anyway, anyone know where I can borrow a 1/4 mile dragstrip for a few runs? I dont have anywhere near me suitable for that. I need a 'private' stretch ;)

But I think I'm well in the low 5 seconds for my 0-60 time though. I hit 60, glanced at the G-Tech and it was just cycling through the low 5 second, then got to 70 and had to slow down!

You don't need to go 1/4 mile to test 0-60mph Atik..

Try a 0-60-0mph

Accelerate to around 65mph on your speedo to allow for any discrepency. Then hit the brakes hard until you stop /rally

this will log your 0-60mph time and also your braking distance in ft from 60-0mph :D

You don't have to do the 60-0mph for it to log the 0-60 either.. Just don't continue to 1/4 mile, pull over and take a pic of your time /yes

Happy Accelerating :pimp2:

If you go over 1/4 mile the 0-60mph time dissappears..

But the 0-60mph time will flash up for some seconds to take note of it. If you drop back below the 60mph i'm pretty sure it stays on the screen untill u switch it off.

Yup. Works just as you described Wodj.

Just did a test run to see how it worked.
0-60 = 6.92 seconds
60-0 = 144 ft
That was on standard boost and cold brakes and a very dodgy start.

Did a 2nd run to see what happens when it doesnt register a 0-60. I hit 61mph on the dash and stopped hard and the disply reading was trying to calculate the stoppage distance.

Also managed to find a perfect 0-60 stretch but need less pedestrian traffic to try again properly.

It won't measure stopping distance unless you go faster than 60mph as it's calculation is from 60-0mph..

You can actually brake from 80mph if you want /yes And soon as you get down to 60mph it will start calculating the 60-0mph distance :D

1/4 mile = 14.57 seconds at 102.6mph

Run 3. Launched at 2000rpm
0-60mph = N/A (possible 5.98 seconds again, but too much sunlight glare)
1/4 mile = 14.59 seconds at 104.5mph

Run 4. Launched at 1750rpm(ish)
0-60mph = 5.75 seconds

Yeah we gain a bit off the line mate, IIRC the autos 60ft will be less without to much practise so thats where we gain the time. Plus the auto has shorter ratios so again we gain a touch of time there to.

But the manual box having slightly longer ratios means to the top speed overall is higher.

I think thats about right anyway.

Yeah, my car is manual. It seems to take forever to move off in first but once the boost kicks in, its just awesome!

I am certain that my car is pulling much better in the higher gears which is where I am making up a lot of speed. Its just my launches! I need to work that out, thats where I am losing my time, as I'm sure my car should be a sub-5.5 second car. I should have a 13second time for the 1/4 mile. Just need to get used to driving hard, as I have never done this kind of thing before.

Oh, and the gear changes do need some work [now where is the whistle smiley]

Thats what im saying though, hold it on the biting point or just after so the car is trying to creep forward the handbrake is stopping it. You put load on the engine it produces boost you let the handbrake off, and off ya go?

If thats not the way to do it then cool, like i said i havent driven a manual car ont eh 1/4 other than a prelude, and they dont have turbo lag :D

elnevio
06-07-2009, 03:23 PM
I *think* what Alan is trying to get across here is something like the following:

In an auto, you get the best getaway by standing on the brakes (and pulling on the handbrake as hard as possible), and applying the throttle up to about 3k rpm. As it's an auto, you are applying load to the gearbox, and thus you are building some boost.

In the manual, you might well be revving to 6k rpm or so, but the engine is not under load, and therefore you still have a vacuum. So, when you dump the clutch and floor the accelerator, the boost has to build up first.

Whereas the auto has already built up the boost.

Thus, the theory is to try to build some boost in the manual, by 'holding back' the car (on the handbrake) and raising the clutch to the biting point, applying some throttle so that the engine is under load and can build up the boost whilst stationary, until you're ready to go by dumping the clutch the rest of the way, flooring the accelerator and releasing the handbrake all at the same time, in a similar fashion to the auto's launch procedure.

Is that what you were trying to say Alan?


I can't see that you would be able to hold it by just using the handbrake, so if you could rig up hand controls for the throttle, maybe, then you would be able to stand on the brakes too.

Can't think it would be much good for the clutch though! Although, launching at 6k rpm isn't exactly clutch-friendly, not to mention the shock to the rest of the drivetrain (fancy picking up hot pieces of exploded diff from the tarmac sooner rather than later?!!).

AlanDITD
06-07-2009, 03:27 PM
Yeah thats exactly what im trying to say. Just a means to produce boost in stage rather than waiting the first 50 yards for the turbos to spool.

Holding the car on the line on the brakes i can produce about 8 psi.

Like you said no matter what you rev the car to it wont produce any boost untill there is load on the engine.

Granted it wont work as it will just kill the clutch, but in theory if you could hold the car there then it would work.

But anyway..........

Cheers Nev.

phosty
06-07-2009, 05:18 PM
I read somewhere that in manuals it was advisable to use the handbrake for launches mainly to avoid shock loadings and damage of the drive train. So that's what I did at Crail. I didn't notice if any boost was being made - too busy looking at the xmas tree! It's not really possible to slip my clutch without the car creeping forward.

Maybe the other guys could comment but I don't recall the autos being particulaly quicker (or slower) off the line unless I bogged down. I managed a couple of 2 sec 60ft times and a 1.98. Unfortunately I kept getting overtaken 2/3rds down the strip but I know why that was.

Nick Mann
06-07-2009, 05:28 PM
It's an interesting point about shock loading, but ultimately launching and avoidance of shock loading don't seem to go hand in hand.

You don't need boost in a manual, IMO, because you can have much higher revs when launching. I can spin all four wheels pulling away and I guess other manual owners have experianced something similar. I have also lunched a rear diff on a very good launch!

The MAP2 launch control is designed to spin the turbos up if I understand it correctly. I think it retards the timing massively, so the charge is burning as it exits through the exhaust valves. The gas expansion then occurs through the turbo forcing it to spin up without any drive train load. It's not so good for the tubs though!

phosty
06-07-2009, 05:41 PM
I don't know about my fronts but I got the rears spinning a couple of times - but I'd put that down to the not smooth track surface they had at Crail.

I've already started reading up on the launch control for the MAP2. Have you done it with yours yet? I like the idea of flat shifting too.

elnevio
06-07-2009, 06:11 PM
Wow, that is interesting Nick! I can imagine the turbos melting off and forming a puddle of molten metal on the tarmac! /lol

Ok, a bit extreme - but yes, you can still be 'gentle' with the launching in a manual (it's a relative term...) by not dumping the clutch, but releasing it slowly (by slowly I mean an extra fraction of a second - it's like having a tyre wall in front of a concrete wall on a racetrack so that in case of an accident, the driver suffers deceleration of 50G instead of 150G!).

Phosty, I was getting consistent 60' times of about 1.86 seconds last month at Santa Pod in my auto. And believe it or not, this was unaffected by the fact that on one of my runs, I left the traction control on! According to the timeslip, it was a mere 1/10,000th of a second slower on the 60' time!!

Nutter_John
06-07-2009, 06:39 PM
No Nick you are confussing Launch Control with Anti Lag

Anti lag does as you say retard the timing so that you burn fuel in the manifold thus spooling the turbos

Lauch control is a progressive misfire on each chamber to allow the engine to be held at a given rpm whilst the foot is to the floor

The best 60ft time I had was 1.8 seconds but that was a side step off the clutch at 5400 rpm , I also did a drop at 6000 rpm and I stayed on the spot spinning the wheels for at least 1 second .

Forget all this shock loading of the transmission , and slipping the clutch - you must be willing to destroy your car on the drag strip

is it not better to have gone out with a bang than a wimper :D

Oops, maybe it came out wrong. I wasn't implying I had a quick time (it was my 1st time after all!!) - rather that the autos don't have any particular advantage in launch times. And you both proved that with your 1.8-1.86s times.

Though it is a little more involved with a manual than in the autos.

I am planning on doing a few runs tonight with both a G-Tech and the Dynolicious application on the iPhone. Curious to see how good they are compared to each other. I have just worked out how to fine tune my EBC so I am now running a good level of boost and want to fine tune it properly. My previous runs were at 10 set, 2 gain and 6psi start. Now I have got 35 set, 30 gain and 8psi start and the car feels much much quicker!

I'll be taking video footage of this with both running side by side so they can be viewed at same time. Shame my EBC screen is so far away mounted on the visor, but I'll try to keep a commentary of the boost levels etc.

Naaaahhhhh, Dynolicious is not accurate enough for us. End of story.

Did 10 runs today at various speeds etc and Dynolicious is consistently behind the accuracy of the G-Tech meter.

0-60 times were about a second over almost everytime.
1/4 mile times out from 0.3 to 0.8 seconds over.
Trap speed out by 1.4 to 2.0 seconds over.


Anyway here are my best three runs today.

------------- 0-60 ------ 1/4 mile ------ trap speed
3rd best ---- 5.74 ------ 14.37 ---------- 102.4
2nd best --- 5.62 --------14.21 --------- 103.6
1st best ---- 5.28 -------14.02 -----------99.0 ---- personal best so far.

Got to work on my launches as thats where I ALWAYS lose time! the best time I got above was a good launch but a semi crap 2nd to 3rd gear change. But you can clearly see a quicker time overall cos of the massive difference in the start! Still working on it, and I know with a bit more launch experience I can get that well into the 13 second times. No point posting times or proof, but if people want I can screen capture and attach.

[wanders off to learn how to launch :book: ]

So when my dynolicious says I do 0-60 in 6.5ish - it's actually 5.5ish /Hmmm

When was dynolicious last calibrated ??

Atik

When was dynolicious last calibrated ??
Calibrated the day before. It seemed to jump the gun on nearly all the runs. Starting timing when I was still stationary, which added to the time. The runs where both the devices started close together, there was minimal difference between the two, but I still felt that the Dynolicious readings were out.

The 2nd time I listed above was probably the closest that both devices showed. Here is the split:
0-60... GTech = 5.62, Dynolicious = 6.71 which is a 1.09 second difference
1/4 mile... GTech = 14.21, Dynolicious = 14.75 which is a 0.54 second difference
Trap speed... GTech = 103.6, Dynolicious = 101.5 which is a 2.1mph difference

The best run listed above, Dynolicious started timing about 3.5 seconds before I even moved! See attached

Thanks Mike, but I know that I can get better times into the 13's by working on the launches. The times I posted up just before were only to highlight the comparisons between a G-Tech and Dynolicious. The G-Tech is 1/1000th of a second out from the Santa Pod timing (IIRC), and the Dynolicious software is a considerable way off that! Anyone thinking about buying this software would hopefully find this information and realise that its not accurate enough for what we (VR4 owners and general car enthusiasts) want. I think maybe for a normal family runabout car between 1 litre and 2 litres the software could be deemed accurate enough to brag about to mates. Such as "my Focus 1.6 has a 0-60 time of 10.0 seconds flat. Dynolicious said it did" etc etc.

Well at least I now have a firm 5.2 second 0-60 time so am easily a match for the E39 M5 which until the VR4, was my ultimate car.

How does 0-60 correlate to 60ft times. I was running 1.700 60ft times recently but cant get my 0-60 under 5.5s.

Or is that about right?

Atik
07-08-2009, 01:53 PM
Not sure Alan. The G-Tech doesnt give me 60ft times. Dynolicious does but as I say its not accurate, and I'm getting crap launches anyway. I think I'm making some time up on the higher revs.

Sorry the 1.7 was on the strip, the 5.5 on the iphone app. I loose my time up the revs, i plotted a graph with the Iphone last night you can see the accleration and power dis quite well. will try uploading it if i can.

I would suggest that the two figures don't match very well. A 1.7 60 foot time should be well under 5 seconds to 60. Possibly closer to 4. Take a look at this thread - the table is not perfect, but it gives an idea!

Nice one nick, need to get me a GTECH then maybe. I ran four or five 1.7 60ft out of about 12 runs so its pretty consistant. No way was 60 in 3.4s though.

unfortunatley they dont meaure 0-60!

Ahhh i now have the GTECH bug...... Fun that is.

ONly done two runs but the quickest 0-60 was 5.24. Thats running about 9psi of boost so going to wait till its cold tonight add a bit more boost and try get the down a touch more.

Well impressed with the GTECH mark its awesome.


Just to add that was with the ghetto induction kit to. So def no loss of power there i dont think.

Tried 3 runs last week at about midnight 10degrees, in *totally* stock MT FL Legnum, having found the G-Tech in a box in the garage!

First run was 6.14, 2nd 5.99 and 3rd as shown!

The last was unintended 4k launch followed by toasty clutch odour :uhoh2:

Am very skeptical of that last time tho, havin std boost?

No Mike, not yet but I may give it a go once I get my gadget back off a mate, Its hitting 12.5psi at mo but boost building slowly for some reason..... it's definitely getting there. When do you get yours back and what figures do you think you would get?
