Finally got a bit of video footage before the insurance runs out on monday Quality is pretty bloody awful but shows the car alright, I think the turbo definately gets rid of the big step up from 2nd to 3rd with a standard 300

looking good i like it i want to do something like that with mine what bhp u running

Probably around 170ish, its 1mph faster over an 80mph speed test than a 200sx with air filter, full exhaust and T28

Using the timing on the vid I make the 0-60 time at about 7secs.


Not bad!

Should be quicker than that my Clio was hitting 60 in the mid 6s with fwd and about 25bhp less. Can't imagine it weighing a great deal less either.

Matt

it was quicker than 7 anyway and iam sure he wasnt going flat out any how

All down to gearing though, Ali will have to use 3rd to get 60mph up. I'd imagine the Clio would do it in 2nd

A standard williams needs to go into 3rd to hit 60, and still does it in less than 7 seconds. Mine had a raised rev limit so would just hit it in 2nd

Matt

Also had a passenger to film that, not sure if 0-60s are usually done with a passenger or not, looking at other cars in comparrison:

Civic Type R - 197bhp 1204kg (163bhp/ton), will hit 60 in 2nd and thats 6.4 to 60

Focus RS - 212bhp 1278kg (166bhp/ton), not sure about ratios but 6.3 to 60

Now i'm going to be pretty much same power/weight as those cars but need 3rd so I wouldn't say its a mile from where it should be considering these cars were designed to have that power

edit: according to www.carfolio.com

Clio Williams - 145bhp 1010kg (144bhp/ton) 0-60 in 7.8

However I know these spec sites don't always get it right but sounds more like it

Nah carfolio is miles off. A standard williams will do 60 in sub 7 seconds, a standard 16v will do it in low 7s.

My old clio was hitting mid 6s 0-60 when it was stripped out, but with standard engine bar a magnex exhaust, de-cat and panel filter in the airbox.

Matt

How I love these specs sites! lol

Clio 16v - 137bhp 980kg (140bhp/ton), 0-60 in 7.4

This is more like my clio was

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 145
Weight without Driver (KG) : 880
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 167.42
0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.58
0 - 100 (Secs) : 17.64
60 - 100 (Secs) : 11.06
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.04
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 92.31
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.84
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 93.95

Matt

0 to 60 is also kinda useless "performaace meter." Quarter mile tells much more about the real power the engine is putting on the road than 0-60 time..

1/4 mile trap speed tells you more than the ET I think - it pretty much removes tractional difficulties.

Nice work Ali A note to Steve who was mocking me on the gearing thing...the injection cars do have the higher ratio diff, which helps....but yeah, I'm well and truly beaten

cheers

I wasn't mocking for a change... and even though injection cars have the higher ratio diff, it doesnt disguise the 'hole' in 3rd gear with the stock engine
