i was out tonight and did a 0-100klms run and i was really:d disgusted frustrated as it did it in 14sec's

i have the uni-filter , exrtactors , roller rocker's , blue top injector's , straight thro 2.5inch zorst

where have i gone wrong :cry:

can anyone care to help me in my gettin it quicker

7 sec's i thinks

I dont know what they are standard.... but thats eternity!

All i can suggest is loose some wieght, spare tyre anything else floatin aroung the car, sub box's etc....

A manual conversion should shave atleast a sec off that maybe 2-3....

Next would be bolt on a turbo...:badgrin:

And my TR V6 Auto does it in 8.5 secs.... not bad for a 14yo.

5 Minutes!

i did do it with a full tank and my sub's in the back , but i don't even have a spare tire in my car also i do have a video clip of my 0-100k run

faster than yours

for a wagon thats not a bad time
and yours is an Auto

were you in power mode ?

next run have low fuel in the tank

timing chains when done may help

think about the balance shaft elimination kit

How many people did you have in the car???

11 seconds, when its running well. thats only with extractors.. carby manual

there was me and a mate but i have around 100kg's of stereo install in the boot ....... and i was going up a semi incline of around 15% ...... i will do some more run's

10 seconds.

your losing all you power in that oversized exhaust.

2.5" is big for most 6cyls let alone a 4cyl.

my car weighs 1500kgs and gaining.

2" zorst, straight thrus, 4-2-1s. hot cam, k&n, mpi, 5yr young rebuild.

I'm sure the engine has more, it's always had more power than most astrons ive driven.

just good old tlc. :D

oh, and it's auto.

I really do miss this engine in my wagon, that engine and the wagons handling was sooooo good. *sniff*

true true, thats how mine does about 9 seconds at the present. should be about 5 seconds at the end of the year

by painting the rest of the engine bay red of course.

OH... so my red rocker cover is the secret weapon...

right :D

i did 2 times last night. i was was going by the time on the cd player so not 100% accurate.

13 seconds first time, 15 second time, held the gears longer the second time.

manual, carby no performance mods

i pulled 9 seconds flat with a mate in the car about a year ago. just done a rebuild, we'll see how we go now :D Giggity

as for your problem, flat straight road is best for starters, empty tank, and knowing when to change gears, 5500rpm SEEMS to be best for me but havent given it a bootful since the rebuild

hmm should time mine again with the new head mods, cam n reco gear box, grip in 1st & 2nd seems my biggest probem
