Daz_Kez Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'd say you can do around 112 mph on the right "private" *cough* road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz_Kez Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 im finding that hard to believe thats an accurate reading. Has anyone got the gearing figures of a 1.0 lupo?its possible... especially if 127mph from a standard 1.1 saxoand 116mph with the car full!!!!!(asin 5 people) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) I've had mine showing 106mph (on the speedometer though, which will be abit out) - it was on a German Autobahn, downhill with a following wind, two passengers and a load of luggage We were doing 6200rpm for those who are interested - it was not sustained, I slowed down afterwards to a more reasonable speed Edited February 23, 2008 by lunalupi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell the crap of a bull.I've seen 103mph on my Road Angel, downhill.Can't imagine it going much quicker it was almost hitting the rev limiter. Speedo was reading about 110-115mph.

LiamD Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 127mph Saxo 1.1127mph would be hard in a VTR, even in a VTS it would take a long stretch of road.Back on topic methinks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clairey Fairy Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hands up, i know very very little about cars but 115mph with 5 in the car sounds rediculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I've seen 103mph on my Road Angel,Speedo was reading about 110-115mph.Read this bit again Daz.Speedo's aren't acurate, especially getting towards the end of their range.

Daz_Kez Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Read this bit again Daz.Speedo's aren't acurate, especially getting towards the end of their range.thats ****, if a speedo isn't accurate, how can they present people with speed cameras?and speeding fines? you think if speedos weren't accurate they be-able to "do you" for speeding etc?No they wouldn't! because it would be the manufacturers problems... therefore not yours,because "you believed your speedo was telling you 30mph, when your doing 40?" Naa... ain't gonna happenBut they charge people for speeding, so therefore they must see that speedos are as accurate as they can be....so therefore speedos cannot be "un accurate" otherwise why would they use these sort of things?i believe some older speedos may be "in accurate" to a certain degree maybe 2 or 3 mph, but 10? or more?i don't think so....

lunalupi Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) They all under-read Daz - its built in so that if the speedo does go out of calibration, it won't over-read and hance get you in trouble with the law for speeding Police cars have to be regularly calibrated so that when they are following people they get a true reading - how many road cars have theirs calibrated every day/week? None - so the manufacturers build in an error margin which means it always reads low from the factory Edited February 23, 2008 by lunalupi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i imagine a VTR would do it. I say aparently as ive never tried its just something ive seen on here. In my 1.0 70 MPH is just a fraction below 4Krpm on the rev counter, which works out about 74/5 on the clocks. Acording to the satnav.They get less accurate the faster you go though.

1 Litre Screamer Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 A 6psi boost to the standard 1 litre engine would push it to a reasonable power level, i worked out somewhere in the region of 80/90 bhp. I was considering running the 1 litre normally aspirated race engine i have instead of the bike engine at one point but after seeing 119bhp but no torque i decided to leave it alone and got a proper engine. It is possible to get just over 140bhp from a turbo'd 1 litre AUC engine but it wont last too long and it does have to be fitted with new ECU and ITB's. I have to add that I'm with noddy on this one, Golf tdi motor and a turbo systems hybrid turbo, few trips to superchips and 280 bhp+, with more torque than it takes to rip the loop apart!!
