get you, so I can do 60 in second, lose time to a 100, and first to buy new box

Not sure why you'd want to get to do 60 in second anyway. doesnt do engine any favours...

isnt about acceleration though, it's about hitting a certain speed. as said, raise the rev limit and you'll hit it, doesnt even have to be by much either.

my mates old nova 1.3 (i think) did 72 in 2nd but did absolutly nuthin after that... not sure wot he did, pissed aorund with sum valves i think. i could find out tho

down to the gearbox. must've had a longer box in it though, dont remember my (very) old 1.3sr hitting 72 in second to be honest. you could 'piss around' with the saxos valves all you like, but it wouldnt make you hit 60 in second unless you raised the rev limit but that's been stated 18937834times already in about 2474262424 threads.

Why is there a need to do 60 in 2nd???

[Jonny_H]

ha ye, i dunno what he did or if it's true. i didnt know him when he had it.... but i've bin told by all his mates that it's true. god knows what he did.

he used to a have a vtr which was rapid..dunno what he did to that either but i know he spent well over 10k on it.

i'll ask him if that did 60 in 2nd

[ricksimmonds]

becasue in a sprint to 60 havin to change to 3rd ads a second to ur time

one less gear change on quarter mile and on a timed 0-60 run without needing 3rd (again saving time). wouldnt do engine any harm unless you sat at 60 in 2nd for 2 hours on the motorway

england138471834- if he spent 10k on a vtr then i hope it was running a 250brake boosted engine

[ricksimmonds]

also if u like to drive like a twat, like me, or hang around with ppl that do, they'll ask the question, 'wot do u get out of 2nd?' and its embaresin not hitting 60 with a 1.6 vtr lol

[Jonny_H]

i will ask him. i think the 10k was inc the car! i dont really know much about engines to be fair... but thnk he did summat with cams, custom exhaust system, n summat about a ram air ? n alot more. i'm sure them involved anyway. i will get a list of everything he did. i not sure how fast it was but i know it was very fast. n looked shit hot too. i'll find out

[ricksimmonds]

becasue my 1.2 punto sporting hit 60 in second so a vtr should, if citreon hadnt decided to put a shitty 8v engine in vtrs it probly wud wudnt it?! pricks

[ricksimmonds]

ye a forced air induction kit, forces air into the engine and the ecu burns more petrol to cope with the extra air - this gives more power, must enusre u spend lots of money at bp tho lol

ye, again i dont know much about engines...

but wen i hopefully get a vtr in 6 months (hopefully) he told me to get a ram air sed they will increase ur speed and power alot.

Its nothing to do with the engine its the gearbox and rev limiter that determins how fast you can go in each gear

No lol be lucky to get 1-2bhp from a filter. they jsut increase throttle responce

Dont think he means a filter, filters just filter air. He means a system which actively forces air into the engine

jesus, thank you.

again, just because a punto can hit 60 in 2nd, doesnt automatically mean a vtr can- IT'S BECAUSE OF THE REV LIMIT AND GEARBOX, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER OF THE ENGINE. you could fit 4 turbos to a vtr but it still wouldnt hit 60 in 2nd on the standard limiter

turbo or supercharger then
