How fast does your car get to in 2nd gear, and what revs is that?

Found out mines 70mph at 6400rpm

danvisteon

72mph @7500rpm

3doorPete

My Fiat Punto 1.1 station car hits 46mph in second with its valves bouncing..

Karl

Danvisteon,

72mph@7500rpm.

All from a cvh on hydraulic lifters, well done mate!!! LOL

Jim Galbally

4i does 65...

the 4x4s were about 58ish (made for CRAP 0-60 times! )

craigp

It's not about what it can do ...it's how fast it can get there

Ian2wdsaffcos

About 45

SeanT

Yep, about 59 mph @ 6200 rpm
Betcha can't beat my 0-59 time with less than 300 brake! Fuckin funny when the limiter kicks in (badum badum badum ouch that sounds nasty) - unless your're overtaking

Lee Reynolds

not sommat i look at

Ian2wdsaffcos

You don't have a choice in the matter unless you remembered to install you're booster seat

st3v3

Ian FRST

71mph at 7600rpm

Graceland

70mph @ 6900 rpm - S14 200sx lol

Gooey

I wont go above 6000rpm at the moment but I ve seen 70mph out of second so far

markk

iTrader: (2)

ok just as an off car thing - my bike will do 115mph in second

markk

iTrader: (2)

ok a few assumptions here
especially for karl

just a guess btw seeing as you have a large revving engine

rear tyres ??? 235 40 17 ???

top revs 9k ???

second gear 1.91 ???

diff 3.62 ????

full tilt in second 94mph ???

Mark T

out of interest whats wrong with the other three gears or have they fell out the box ??

Karl

mark k, yes currently my 2nd gear gives me about 90mph, but the next box I'm using gives me 105mph!

The ratios I'm going for will give me 65mph in 1st and 105mph in 2nd, so should make my sprint times pretty good!

mattbibs

50 mph will do me fine - then its time for a change!

Chipperx2

mine goes to 50

Matt

77.88mph @ 7500rpm on std gearing on 235/40/17

cant be right surely

only have u sorted the diff yet ????

seams a wide power band for a car with such a high power band , what will it get off the line like ?? i know what ive had to do to mine to get it off the line and do 60 in 1st , i would have thought that with very little boost low down it would have to crawl away or smoke the rears !! ?????? you must know though - you built it

DangerousBryan

my sierra did 55 in second,85 in third,110 in fourth and 140 at 6000rpm in fifth! crap gearing but still did 5.5 to 60.my bmw does 75 in second,105 in third,dont know about fourth and fifth,might find out going to trax but i know fifth is megga long,does 100mph at 3000rpm and 130mph at 3800rpm.revs to 6500.200mph ish not sure

Jamz

my spiftastic 1.3 LX Escort does about 45 before I get scared and change gear

Anonymous

Marco dont stop their dreams mate, Im putting a .83 2nd in my box so about 206 @ 8K will be total shite but beats all the others on this post . In fact im going to have all gears .83 so thats 206 in first.

xr-stu

my old xr2 did about 60 with the wheel spinning @ about 6.5k! the 1.6 mk5 essy we got now does about 65 at the limiter

expecting the mk1 to be about 55 at 7k, lovely low ratios

CozzyBrom

92 at 8800

Just spoken to Mark & with 27" wheels mines good for 254 in Ist surely that makes mine number one.

Nothing to say other than :

Ian2wdsaffcos

Jealousy will get you nowhere mate! At least mine can boost more than 8psi without missfiring, I'm running 15psi held thankyou very much!!!

Lee Reynolds

it dont missfire it holds back its that scared

Ian2wdsaffcos

What's it scared of?.........that it might be left alone with you again?
