E30 Zone

I got my G-Tech Timer this morning from the group buy....

Despite the rain I had to try it out....

Due to traffic and no decent roads round here I could only do two runs, here are my results:

0-60 = 9.20 (W)

1/4 Mile = 17.15 (W)

Quite pleased with these, especially since it was wet!

Anyone else got their times?

0-60 5.95secs
1/4 14.5secs

yet to try with new manifold....

pretty happy but ive been told that it should do the 1/4 quicker than that..

Karan

looks pretty sweet dude-stock 320 touring seems plenty quick for me!

had snow up here, so think 0-60 would be a touch slower

nie sig dave, those times are good, similar to what my iS ran in the wet on an open diff i told u she runs sweet for a 320

Yeah, it goes well for a 320 for sure.....

Yours flies to 60, I reckon it's losing something in the 1/4 mile, I reckon it could go quicker than that mate...!!

I would be interested to take the G-Tech to the Pod, to compare times!

We need a 0-60 and 1/4 mile section!

apparently they perform pretty much idential times when comparedt to the pod

Karan

That's good news!

Wanna try the bhp measurement!

With the risk of sounding like a salesman,

I really must get my 325sport on the road so I can post my own times.
Id be a bid embarresed posting my Citroen Xantia Estate times

dammit i just bought mine for Ԛ£45! doh!

i got 6.70, but (list of excuses coming up!), muddy and wet, near bald tyres (had the new ones still in the boot!), and my less-good engine which would have come out today if it wasn't snowing!

hoping for 6 dead with the new tyres and new engine installed. and some dry weather if we ever get any!

i took it in a friend's dad's e46 m3 SMG and it ran 5.34 3 times in a row! and that was with a fairly gentle start, you really need a clutch so you can slip it a little to keep the engine from bogging down...

have a video of this if anyone wants it!

Yes please!

Can you send it over MSN? bigdavediesel@hotmail.com

re the gtech thing, that's extremely nice of you but i bought it from ebay, just someone selling new ones for Ԛ£45 incl post. thanks very much though!

can i just have a rant at the BLOODY SNOW please. i have to take the old engine and box out today or it'll never get done, the new motor is waiting to drop in. so i've spent the day so far lying in snow on the road under my car. GRRRRR!

ah right lol nay worries

Anyway i sent payment and sent you a pm is that ok? Whats the expected delivery time on these?

As per PM,

I will get your Gtech dispatched this afternoon - you will recieve tomorrow, Saturday at the latest.

Thanks again

interesting....how accurate is this gadget in terms of true mph??does it calulate the true speed as speedos are normally out of syn? how true wud the BHP figure be? and you say you just plug it in the cig lighter?

Sorry for the questions ive only just come across these things, thus more info wud be appreciated

Hap

I imagine G-Techmotorsport will answer this properly.....

It doesn't tell you your speed, it works from G-Forces.

When you enter your vehicles' weight, it can work out the bhp quite accurately.

Oh yeah....plugs into cigarette lighter and sticks to windscreen, just like some radar detectors.

0-60 in 6.2 with shit gearing
1/4 ?????? not tested yet

Should be sub 6 when i get around to fitting my 3.64 LSD and my TB's

It's just a question of getting the power down cleanly in first gear but it's not easy.

I dump the clutch at 2000rpm and balance the throttle V's grip.

If i set off with higher revs it spins the wheels to much.

I need some good dry quite roads to practice on !

I might try lower revs at launch and slip the clutch slightly.What technique does every one else use ?

Hi,

As DaveTouring says, doesnt display speed.

Does display

0 - 60 time
60 - 0 time (braking)
BHP
and also G Force

The idea of the G Force measurement is this:

Set a cone on the centre of an empty piece of tarmac.
Drive around the cone in a circular motion and note the lateral G at which the car started to loose grip.

Make adjustments to the car , say change tyres, lower suspension, alter geometry or stiffen ride then carry out same trial. The higher the G force at which you loose grip the better.

As for accuracy, the feedback both here and on other sites as well as my ebay shop is that the accuarcy is very high.

Some guys have said it ties in with there Dyno reading , others with there strip run.

Definately worth 34.99 surely

Off to post office so signing out for a while cheers!!

BLOODY SNOW!


i am sooooo cold!

I want your snow and your wheels Toby

It in yet?

here are my times gtech pro tested ansd now using gtech SS ...

gtech pro & SS have about the same times as i am runing a different dierential since i changed gtechs.


so
0 60 best 5.95 (SS & 3.73 dif ) regular 6.1
6.16 ( pro & 3.91 diff) regular 6.2
1/4 mile best 14.55 @ 101mph ( 3.91) and 14.5 ( 3.73 ) @ 100.9
YEAH karan you should be faster if you don't spin much id love to come up at a pod day when the season beter but i know on the road i don't stand a chance ...just to slow...i have at my engine what karan has at his wheels.....

1/8 mile ( only SS and RR lol but i have more 1/8 run here than 1/4 )
1/8 : 9.3 regular 9.1 best ...

knowng that i have a torc cam , small tires , and short shift ( Z3 conv lol ) i made my car for the french 1/8ths and 1/4rs

i also tested the gtech on the E34 540i that we have, got 14.9 out of it at best with me playing with the horible auto gearbox, and i am far in front with the E30 with 100jp less

really need to test mine! might go now actually.....................

just got me dinner while i was out, uselees info but i my best 0-60 was 7.92 with wheels spinning in 1st and 2nd too wet out there! others where 9.87! 8.62 and 8.18


1/4 mile 16.51 is that anygood?

325i sport

I need to work on my whole 0-60ness as this was my first try!

You can do better than that you sloth!

I did only two runs today, in the wet.

My best 0-60 was 9.20

1/4 Mile was 17.15

You aren't much faster than me, so I know you can go quicker!

Doesnt just dumping the clutch at 3.5k/4k give a good launch?

i'm sure with the pina's bigger rear footprint might help things a touch. My driving is most of the problem!

Just dumping the clutch will give you wheelspin!

For me, around 4k is good, on the limit of adhesion and high up enough in the powerband so when the clutch is completely engaged, you move quicker!
