Last night I got talking to a lad who had an orange 16v and we ended up going for a little rip on my private road He was running a 16v 1.8 lump with a high rev limit 7.800rpm i do believe. We did a rolling start at 45mph in 2nd and stopped at 80mph. I started on his bumper on the right hand lane as things didnt go to plan but I caught up with him by the end of second and went into third with my poo rev limiter 6.500rpm. Every damn time i starting pulling away I had to change gear by the time I was at 80mph, I had only made a car length on him my exact thoughts were wtf. Does this normally happen lol

pwned! 6.5k limit sucks first thing you do is up it to 7100!

[cliolord]

7100 i want 7400 ! lol what is nana using?

[Martin]

Depends how brave you are lol Nana is on 7300/7400 ....power tends to drop quite a bit after 7k though imo

[cliolord]

whats the danger point? I thought 7400 was the boundry

[Martin]

depends who you talk to.....mine revs to 7300 thats enough for me!

[Daz.]

Can't see you needing more than 7100 to be honest - I fancy a remap soon as is but with a raised limiter

[cliolord]

lol nana is ace, definitly my fav hybrid by far....

well, this is going to sound really stupid now but....I had a 16v decat while running a williams manifold and downpipe and obviously it didnt line up properly and was blowing. I just fitted my Ktec unsilenced pipe which no longer blows and I swear down its not just me, it actually pulls better? It gives another kick at about 5,000rpm?

How did you manage to get the decat even close to the willy downpipe, i thought the flanges were 90 degrees out?

Mines at 7.4k but 99% of the time I still change at 6.5k, maybe a bit extra when I'm chasing them Caterfields... ....oh and Jesus

you'll need more than 7'400rpm if I start stripping mine out sonny jim! ;) lol
