mud Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Leon the engine isnt fitted yet but has just come off the dynomometer (dodgy spelling) having been fully mapped using an MBE system with jenvey tb's .when i get a printout of the torque curve i'll post it on the site. Quote
Leon B Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Pretty cool, so its ready to rip as soon as you fit it, thats great. Still gotta get mine mapped at some point. Quote
Tigger Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Hey Mud, if you want a really good 0-60 time, forget all the go faster goodies, just put a 4.1 ratio in your Diff ........ The other good thing is you will never get done for speeding. Quote
mud Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 tigger i've got a 3.62 lsd to fit and i'm currently struggling with gearbox ratios for the best performance .has anybody got any ideas or want to swap my mt75 compatable 3.62 lsd for anything lower/more suitable for a type 9 with vx power. cheers martin Quote

Still better than a Ferrari 355 oh if only I had the money though Quote
chumley-warner Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 For a better indication of performance you really need to look at 1/4 miles times IMO, esp. if you're thinking of traffic light racing.Have a look at Ian Crocker's site: www.seight.com click on the Performance link. cheers Mike Mine is one of the faster cars on Ians site - see the name Alex Thorogood for my car - I would suggest the fastest times will be done with nitrous / slicks and an amount of silliness! Tyres are really the limiting factor. CW Quote
chalky Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 cant tell you my 0-60 times as my car looks fast sounds fast and scares the s**t out of me so my eyes are allways closed when pulling away when i stop getting scared ill worry about the times then Quote
