0-100km Timings???
-
May i ask what are the best 0-100km Timings our fellow sgforum surfers had achieved? Just curious.
By the way why is it that although the car mag state my mrs 0-100km @7.5s but i never seems to achieve? Is it........................
1) Due to upgrade 15" Rim(Stock) to 17"?
2) My poor driving skills?
3) My RSM not connected accurately?
4) Car Mag timing not true?
5) All of the above!!!

It could be yr 17' rims(high possiblity).How much weight u gain in total, frm yr stock rims n tyres over the new pair of 17'rims n tyre? Ok, layman term is if u gain wt in yr rims n tyres tat will definately affect yr pick up.
Changing gears do play a part too... -
I dun really know how much weight i've gained. Est additional 30Kg?
Did ard 8.2s on my ride. Is the apexi Rsm reliable / accurate?

Upgrading to larger rims, especially in your case with two inches larger, can result in significantly slower acceleration times because of both the increase rotating mass (most effecting area in gaining/ losing weight is the wheels/ tires) and increased rolling resistance from resulting larger tires. So i would say 8.2 is about accurate, while a .7 second quicker time can be expected realistically from a stock car. If you want to regain your stock times with these large rims, you might need to push up power slightly via a replacement ECU or similar basic modifications.
My quickest 0-100 km/h time was recorded recenetly with 29'000 kms on the odometer, at 8.5 seconds timed by clock, with two people in the car. -
my merc does 0-60mph in 15secs

the older one? no way, i think its closer to 12s?Originally posted by L@gSoN:my merc does 0-60mph in 15secs -
Try revving to before redline before changing gears..Originally posted by eric3417:May i ask what are the best 0-100km Timings our fellow sgforum surfers had achieved? Just curious.

Yup,its best to koe yr peak bhp @ which rpm.Originally posted by kohanson:Try revving to before redline before changing gears..
for eg if yr peak bhp is @6000rpm n U rev pass tat,U will lose power instead of having 'gd' shift.

lau liao losing power...used to be ard 12-13sec -
try adding cleaners into your petrol, see if maybe some of the injection nozzles or other thing r clogged up.Originally posted by L@gSoN:]

Flush both your engine ($25) and auto-trans ($150+) and change the oils. As for engine oil.....heard power krunch from peridon marketting (cab be seen on WHEELS magazine) does give older engines some increase in oomph. Renew your ignition cables and get a set of denso iridium spark plugs. Change to high-flow air filter (K&N).
