scoooby slayer Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cosworth? either way you can hear it idling when the speedo is at 20mph, you and i both know the video is bollox, how can you explain 65 in first gear? and il say it again start of full run is started in second gear thats why revs are low. and 65 is second gear but not limiter, limiter is 76 iirc. it hit the limiter in 3rd and fourth which is to be precise 107 in 3rd, 144 in 4th. 7800 rpm limiter.

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 With semi decent data logging so cheap nowadays you could post up something more meaningful to compare. Even a video showing the rev counter as well as the speedo would be of SOME use a 1/4 mile time slip would be a cheap way to have a serious means of comparison, if you don't want to do data logging internally.

tooquicktostop Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This should be good, Mr Scooby this is a great club and your video is impressive but what is your point, its a fast cossie and as you have been told a mid single 500+ BHP Supra would match/beat it Are you a Supra fan or a Cossie owner/fan looking for an argument on which is better, because you wont get much joy here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygood Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 how can you explain 65 in first gear? is it reading KPH?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 its in the white saph in my photos about page 6. Looks good, 472bhp aint bad either, ive had my fair share of cosworths over the years and still like them, bring it to the club trackday if you want to see how it fairs against a Supra, its now open to any cars.

You must have spent some serious money on the Cossie to get such power figures, The Supra will give you 400 BHP for very little spend over the stock TT, they are very rewarding to tune, would be a good choice after a big BHP Cossie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Bear in mind the power to weight ratios. The MKIV is no lightweight. What did the Sierra weigh? A near 500 BHP 2 litre Sierra Cosworth, even built properly, will never be as reliable or as long lived as say a 600 BHP properly built 3 litre, of course, but the big engine's pulling a small HGV along, in comparison to stripped down (2WD) Sierra. Where did 470 BHP come from? It's a huge amount of power from 2 litres, has it been on an engine dyno? I have built a couple of big HP Sierra engines, and to get genuine 450 BHP figures with any reliability at all was VERY costly, and life was measured in low hours.
