30-70mph 3rd gear times

[BigShow]

Its the second best box of tricks in the world!

[BigShow]

My moist times (wet ones were too shocking):

0-30 - 2.9
0-60 - 6.6
0-100 - 16.7
30-70 - 5.7
50-70 - 3.2
Accel G - 0.41
60ft - 2.80
1320ft - 15.60
1320 MPH - 96.40

Hi all

Its worth pointing out the the Performance box is way more accurate and far safer to use than a stop watch and speedo.

This thing measures down to 0.01 of a mph so don't be surprised if the Performance box times look slower than the stop watch method. It would be great to see how the P box compares to the official Santa Pod timing gear at the strip, from an accuracy point of view.

Also I think 1320 and Big show have played down quite how wet it was! It was chucking it down and pretty cold too, no powerful FWD cars would have had a chance setting any decent times that night!

[BigShow]

It was pretty darn wet, you can see how well the GT4 hooks up in the wet by looking at the Accel G... here's the figs:

Toyota Celica GT4

0-30 - 2.1
0-60 - 5.2
0-100 - 13.5
30-70 - 4.6
50-70 - 2.8
Accel G - 0.90
60ft - 2.40
1320ft - 14.40
1320 MPH - 103.30

Pre pistonring/head replacement it did a rough (very rough) 6 seconds on a not so flat road.
Thats with 226bhp but a rough 20bph loss to oil detonation.
So once I dig out a stopwatch ill report back on how the new times differ

[Edenalig]

I did a few 3rd gear runs today with a stopwatch and averaged around 6.1/6.2 seconds, I think it could get better times with more accurate timing and flat roads. The sluggish pickup is overwhelming tho as 30 is just below the power band

2nd gear 30-70 however was amazing, it did a 3.9, 4, 4.1 but the wet roads meant some slippage

New time off 5.2 with JCW 380cc injectors on Big Shows box of tricks

[BigShow]

Yeah, putting those JCW injectors on my box of tricks really made you go faster!

What year is your car and what mods? That 2nd gear time is mental fast, it beats Pauls time of 4.5 which we thought was quick!

Hi bigshow. What was my time again from your box?
Thanks

Hello! Your official 3rd gear time was 5.9 but I reckon on a perfectly flat piece of road you'd get that down a bit. Congrats on the power run and on the mental rpm rev limit .

[lucachiarelli]

Nice one. I need to get my graph up on here but my digital camera cant get a clear picture of the numbers and the graph lines.
Hit some big traffic on the way back, took me 4 hours to get home
Had a good day though

[Paul@1320]

Did I forget to say that 5.2 is with a stock dirty s filter and S exhaust sytem

If I had Luca ecu my 2nd gear time would be quick, you dont know how luckey you are Luca I've been waiting for my rpm limit to be moved up to that region all year

Its an 02 with recon gearbox. 15%, MTH on V-Power Tune, Alta CAI, Janspeed Mani with 120CPSI cat, milltek cat back, It did 226bhp @ 1320s with dodgy piston rings and oil detonation, since then its been fixed and is pulling even harder.

Please bare in mind this is with a stopwatch and ultimatley has human error so take with a pintch of salt until real times can be taken

[GT4 Baz]

Paul, can't you take a look at at Luca's map and fudge it into your car? Or ask Blue fin to give you a stock map with a raised rev limit?

Btw, well done on the 5.2, may need a wee bit more boost to beat that bad boy!

And Steve was a legend, leak all fixed, thanks for putting me onto him.
