what you think

just fitted a chip off egay and and induction kit 60mph in 2nd at 7000rpm is this good or shi*e still only getting 17 mpg if im lucky will have to take the lead weight off my right foot oh well you cant have performance and econemy

[Ziggy]

Any chip that removes your limiter will let you hit 60mph in second & will do so at the same RPM - it's nothing to do with how good it is, just your gearing!

The only thing that could be debatable as to whether it was good or not, is whether it's good for your engine to do 7000rpm (it's not!).

[6potWil6pot]

I woudlnt take anything to 7k very often. Mine revs up to 7100rpm with the chip in but ive only taken it there afew times, apart from 0-60 theres no pratical purpose because peak power/torque is always a bit lower down anyway!

[LOOPYLEE1965]

dont intend to rev it like that very often just wondered if it is on par with most peoples performanc efigs with the same kind of set up??

You haven't given us any performance figures to compare to!

[Moofles]

17 mpg

aint got any 0-60 yet just wondered if 60 in 2nd is the norm Ziggy?

[Ziggy]

Like I said before, 60 in second just means your rev limit's been raised / removed... it could take half an hour to get there & still manage 60 in second!

Sounds like you've driven the 1100cc fiat uno I had back in 88 - lol

Does anyone know what the book time 0-60 is for a 320i in standard form.

will try and get a 0-60 figure by the weekend ziggy new to this forum as you know only me 2nd beemer and the 1st was a lowly 316 auto (still loved the quality of the ride though) thats why i got another

[zaust]

if your gona run at over 6 and a half rpm the castle nut and the bottom pully have a tendency to shatter!!! replace them with a stronger ones..

[Simon13]

the book times are rubbish 318is 9.9 secs bollocks
325's 8.3 also is sh!te

They are all like a second slower than they really are IMO

[Andy_magic]

So are the cars quicker than the book times or slower?

[Zayyan]

The cars are quicker than the book times.

From what I've learned a healthy iS can do a mid 8's 0-60 easy, and 325i's are almost always mid 7s or under!

[Simon13]

quicker by quite a bit.

Plus dude what the hell are u doing to get 17mpg? this can't be all the time? i get 27mpg easy on a tank in my 325i

[Davenotouring]

I think you'd find with 100% accurate timing equipment, you'd be closer to the book times than everyone gets using a stopwatch and the car's speedo.

G-tech can't be right.....6.57 for the Civic VT?? That's crazy...

[Zayyan]

Considering when the speedo reads 60 it's apparently doing only 53 I think you might be right

Are you saying the G-tech's are crap then Dave?

Was thinking of getting one soon

[Davenotouring]

I don't think they are crap, they are cool for what they are, and they are cheap. But I don't quite believe the accuracy sometimes.

I'll take it to the Pod soon and it may change my mind. I'll report back!
