A little offtopic - what's a "hybrid" ? I see you write it very often and I can't quite understand it...

You say 140 @7k but on the dash there is a 150 - in what revs you will be there? where's the limiter? in what revs?

A 16v with either a williams engine fitted, or more popular a megane 2.0l bottom end and clio 1.8 16v head

Martin apart from the white un which would you say was the quickest of the others you had?

You say 140 @7k but on the dash there is a 150 - in what revs you will be there? where's the limiter? in what revs?

id done that using a 1.8 gearbox which has a shorter 5th ratio than a williams box has, hence it only doing 140@7k ( 7k is my limit ). ive now got a williams box on and it does 140 @ about 6.6k so i estimate new top speed to be around 147 @ 7k ???

Apart from my first williams the others were all pretty much the same...the nana might have been a ball hair faster if had had the full uber stripping job on it.

With GPS you measure the exact speed right? Because all speedometers have some digression as I know... is it big(the digression I mean :P)?

should be within 10% by law at 70mph

I found that higher speed my speedo is very accurate (using a tom tom one gps unit). It is slightly off at lower speeds, but only as much as 2 mph :) Pretty darn good for a speedometer i reckon! (Well apart from the slight wobble, I need a new cable).

Mine hits 139 tops on gps too, damn valver manifold, had a little bit more revs to play with was at around 6.8k
Fast enough if you ask me, i want to get there quicker thats all!

GPS is a true speed reading yeah. We tested 2 lives for accuracy and it's pretty accurate. GPS 70mph was 72mph on the clocks, 90mph GPS was 93mph on the clocks, so not that far out at all.

On my 172 it's not as accurate, 160mph is 151mph on GPS

Mr.AdamB

the higher the speed the more otu it will be.

mines 145 on speedo and 139 on gps maxed out atm.

but once new manifold i should see 143\144 on gps with the extra rpm i got to use :)

A 16v with either a williams engine fitted, or more popular a megane 2.0l bottom end and clio 1.8 16v head

Whats the benifits of doing this?

a better base engine to start tuning from if you after more power n/a.

better than a full willy engine? or the 1.8?

Think he means better than the 1.8 mate. The 2.0 has shed loads more low down torque.

Not sure which has the better bottom end out of the willy or meg lump? They identical? The meg head has bigger ports dont it? :?

better than the 1.8 lump for n/a power.

megane has a better crank than the willy item sometimes its the same as the diesels item.
willy head is slightly better than a 1.8 unless you have the megane inlet valves and seats fitted.

megane has smaller ports for better airflow and is worth using in throttle body applications
