Quote from: R.O.R-2.0 on December 13, 2011, 09:19:30 pmand thank you all, for the numbers..Here is another fresh test number. I just did this not 10 minutes ago. Car fully warmed up and up to operating temperatures, 2nd gear pull with the GPS on for my speed. I was able to hit 81km/h and it still had more.. but she does have just over 310k kms on it.. so i didn't want to push it. 81km/h with my tire combo of 185/60/14 nets me 5614 rpm's at that speed in 2nd gear. Kev your AUG trans has the same 2nd gear but the lower final.. so to reach the same rpm you would need to do 85 km/h or 53mph in 2nd gear. We both have modified governors so its achievable for sure.. no way your tellin me you car has issues doing over 5200 rpms in gear.. it should be able to spin up way higher in neutral.
and thank you all, for the numbers..
...BTW your Bieber avatar is awesome.-Malone
Safe to assume rollers start skipping just after 5800 on a stock (not including governor) pump then?
enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
I think the 1.8 8v gassers rev limit to 6500-7200 (don't quote that ) depending on if it's CIS, CIS-E or digifant. The 1.6D has dual valve springs so I would think the valves would be fine at the same rpm.
