JohnA Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Has anybody measured themselves 0-60 for a stock car? Ideally UK spec (not the official figures please, we all know those) I did a few runs the other day and they were dissapointing, couldn't go below a flat 6 (6.05 to be exact) That was not under ideal conditions, in "overdrive off" mode without powerbraking or anything, and with boost cut kicking in a couple of times (issue soon to be tackled). The times were very consistent, which is good, but I was expecting mid-5s to be honest since it runs 3-4 extra psi on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ReVolt Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 How were you measuring the times? G-Tech pro? or Stopwatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 John I did a 5 sec dead in my stock J spec using a G-Tech pro at Miami GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 John I did a 5 sec dead in my stock J spec using a G-Tech pro at Miami GT.Was it in conditions similar to mine (no powerbraking, auto mode etc?) If so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 HKS induction kit stock spec. John I think you're gonna find it difficult finding someone with a standard Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Would hitting fuel cut cost one whole second off 0-60? (but now we're in the realms of 'coulda woulda shoulda', instead of repeatable, accurate measurements) I want to draw a baseline dammit, from tomorrow it will be operating beyond 1 bar, and I won't have proper comparisons...

JohnA Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 No decat, no Boost controller, nothing? If so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Nope apart from the "modded" panel filter its standard.No fcd, no decat, stock exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'd say its 0-60(indicated) of about 5 secs and 0-60(real) of about 5.5 for a stock auto Mines does it in about 4.8 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know you know your stuff so forgive me if my reply seems dull. How many times did the FC happen? And obviously it would hinder acceleration. I'll go back to my room.

JohnA Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 During the 6.05 sec run the FC only hit once. I lowered the manual boost controller to the lowest possible setting (duh!) and tried again. It then started hitting fuel cut 2-3 times in 2nd gear. I'm confused! http://www.max-boost.co.uk/stuff/explhoofd.gif I know that these runs are flawed anyway, that's why I asked for figures from other autos to get a rough idea where it stands, before I fit the Thor FCD.

Jake Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 My 98 VVTi Auto was stock apart from missing 2nd cat when it was timed at 4.993 for the 0-60 by J-Tuner magazine. That was using power braking and in Auto mode, not using tiptronic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 The funny thing is that despite these geological 0-60 times, the 1/4 mile times are fine, low thirteens. Curiouser and curiouser... I'll know in a couple of days the time cost of a fuel cut. I now know the human cost. edit: Since two respected members of the board have seen 5secs from stock autos, that's good enough for me. Another thing I didn't mention is that my 'straight' is slightly uphill, which is fine for comparative purposes among my own figures. I've also timed other cars there, so I have a feeling of what is fast and what is pap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Did another couple of 0-60s today, same straight, same time of the day, same boost (1bar), but without the boost cut (FCD fitted) 5.85 Grrrrrr Good traction, full throttle, what's wrong with the POS? Then I remembered that I had just reconnected the battery, so the ECU had gone back to basics. Bollox, another set of useless timings... If it's slowly&mildly misfiring (IF) what symptoms should I be looking for? This is a very smooth engine, in 4cyls if it misfires you blody know about it, would it be audible here or just some lack of pull at high revs? I'm running colder iridiums, but 1.1mm gaps so I'm not sure what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 What about you? did you do 5 seconds flat when stock, or even less because it's manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Never timed it or cared to tbh. I doubt I'd be able to hit the 4.9 as quoted as standard as I dont drive my car in 'rag the bollocks of it' mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 now you're giving me some hope. Thanks for that! I'm not ragging the bollox of it, just auto mode (o/d off) with full throttle, that's all. I want measurements to be repeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
