G-Tech figures.

[Nick Mann]

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

[SGHOM]

not tried my £300 AP22 recently.
If I get time this weekend, I'll give it a whirl !! I'd be looking for sub 5 secs. [ with a touch of gas ] 4.2 calculated at the pod is my best so far !!

Yeh deffo.. lets see what kinda figures you get both gasless and gas induced

No N/A V6 numbers yet??????

[psbarham]

if any of you are going to the midlands mini meet i'll be happy to try one out , i'd rather buy my own but she who must be obayed says "no more toys for that bl00dy car"

[Nick Mann]

There should be mine and Pezzas at least at the midlands meet. I'm sure we can get one for a few minutes for you!

[psbarham]

oh goody i'll have to sneak off when she ain't looking, hopefully by then i'll have the de-cat fitted so should be good

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.

[Nick Mann]

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 down there when i was lorry driving

Hmmm sure we may find some stretches of road.. we can put up our own cordons
like in 2 fast 2 furious


Anyways bed time... my ears have just about stopped ringing from the sound of a ducati 888 (as I saw when I caught up at roundabout lights) that ripped past me as if I was moving backwards what a sound

[Zeke]

At what rpm's are you guys launching at? Would be good to know.

[adam_shaw]

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. For the tech minded, the ambient temp was -5, and the road was clear and dry.

I love my gearbox

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 ......

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... 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 ..

[zentac]

Finally got round to trying mine out - 5.78 0-60 which I think is superb for a FWD car.... and that was with 2 people in.

[Axeboy]

Well..

I got 21 seconds for the 0-60

In my L200 with 3 people... damn it so slow.

[caishanvr4]

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.

OR how about all got to the pod and play with proper timing equipment?!!!
