Hi Antti, Yes me too! lol
Have you hit the lmiter in 5th with your car mate? As you have 267bhp should be easy!

Here in Finland if you are caught speeding say 100kmh over limit you have to pay something like 2000-3000Ł fine & you lost your driver license for a 6-12 months easily.
Also you can get 3 months of parole (i dont know if it is right word).

How about that

Nice little bit of wheel spin in 3rd there!
I'll load up mine later and see my total time from 3500 in 3rd to the limter in 5th, what is your rev limit set at?
Will be an interesting comparison!

nah, zvh is alright as it goes, does start to taper off towards 6000rpm, but still plenty of power in it to get it up to top speed, had mine over 150mph once, on the old sat nav, not likely to bother doing that again.

karlos lowered his rev limit to 6900IIRC, no real power over that i think or something like that anyway.

maybe on his engine but on that log it only took 8secs to go from the 7300 limiter in 4th to 7000 in 5th there is defo power up there. I would not like to do them speeds tho ! He must of been over 160mph

Well at 7000rpm he would have been doing 168mph, and at 7300rpm he would be doing 176mph!!

project rs just noticed what looks like the MAT hitting 62deg at full load on your log, what IC are you using mate?
What did it feel like at those speeds?

yes need a new intercooler thats why i asked what your on as i'm on a pro alloy one but the max reading was after pull when i coasted and heat soak jumped into the party and car feels stable just everything was moving rather quick glad my brales worked now i'll see what it can pull like when i fit my bottle of gas as i'm planning on using it to help spool turbo then come in again to give a kick after peak torque's gone

showed the pull to someone today and i got the times wrong the total for pull i.e me pulling away to max was 25 seconds the pull from third was 19 seconds i didn't realise what the two times were for so all is getting better all the time and my new intercooler like yours is on its way so when that gets here i'll have mine going surplus great on a mildly tuned rst

Yeah it's a good IC, my turbo is flat out so producing loads of heat and it's still keeping good temps.

Don't forget your ACT's will rocket when you come of the throttle after boost/on the overun no matter what cooler you have so temps were a bit less than that.
