G tech? anyone got one

[jasc1988]

Got a g-tech today, old style. Just wondering if anyone else uses one as i cant get the horsepower to work out right, only tried twice but it got around 50bhp each time, are me settings wrong

I think shifty has one?

Says in the maunal to imput car weight in pounds (lb) so by my calcs thats 1315kg's (car) + me (95kg's) = 1410kg. that translated to lb's is 3108 lb's, that sound right??


Or have i messed up?

Sounds about right. You do have to kick its head in for a good while though, try accelerating hard through all the gears. I only did it once or twice, as I'm not entirely sure how accurate that feature is. From what i remember, it took a few mins of driving to work it out.

Sounds OK to me in avoirdupois.

Right okay dokey.

Was giving stupid results..

Did the 1/4 and the 0-60,

60mph was 8.18s and the 1/4 was 17.1 at 84mph.
Bit disappointed lol! tis all about the start though, might try some 2nd gear launches. Also shifty where did you hard wire it to? im thinking putting it high up at the drivers side and running the cable down the A pillar? but to where?

[ultra_joel88]

I'm crap at off the line starts, I've only tried them twice in the vrs but lowest I got was 9 seconds lol.

the 60 time is about right for a mapped one. but the 1/4 mile is abit slow. mine did 1/4 mile in 15.6 when just mapped......cant wait to see what it is now ive got a fair few more ponies under the bonnnet

All diesels are the same, once going there pretty quick when mapped. Im rubbish off the line too, 2nd gear onwards the fabia comes alive

Only gave it one go on the quarter. You sure you got 15.6s? sounds pretty low, didnt the 248bhp jabba only get 14.8 for a quarter?

My car's pretty quick anyway, my friend took his revo map off his Leon Cupra R and the words that came out of his mouth were ' i dont believe it - there wasnt a bean between it' so its not a bad map i'd say considering a while back everyone was saying an LCR would wipe the floor with a mapped fabia, so must have some decent power

I seriously thought about buying that car just the mileage was a tad high for me and it looks like its had a hard life (well from what i've seen on youtube)




EDIT to my 1/4 time just had a search and my quarter does look bad, must of been a shocker of a start, i shall try again tomorrow , it rr'd at 173bhp so is mapped

Yup have the ticket somewhere to prove.

Thats running 170bhp with a slipping clutch too, but no rear seats......... that makes all the difference

I recon i could give the 14.8 seconds a go if i got a new clutch

[DIESELTORQUE]

still runnig strong miles were not that bad full rebuild so its like done 35k on engine got most of recipts to prove

Ahh the rear seat out trick


I'll have to get practicing. Ive got a helix so its good for a few getaways

Holy schnizer ploppen

cant wait till i get my hybrid

[Shifty]

jasc, where do you have the unit mounted? It should be right in the middle of your windscreen for most accuracy, and you must make sure the reading is 0.0 before you ready it.

Mine is hardwired to the interior light supply.

I have been pulling 0-60 in 6.50 seconds consistently using 2nd to launch. 6.7 if i use first.

[jasc1988]

Yeah just plonked in the centre windscreen... I didnt wait to 0 though

Aren't 2nd gear launches murder on the clutch? Would like to try but don't fancy messing up the Helix setup I have in.....
Any tips for us mere mortals?

Fit cr*p tyres and balance the wheelspin.
