Axle Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Those of you who have driven your Auto twin turbos at over 100mph (on private road/track ofcourse) what are your revs at roughly at around 100-120? Mine was at around 5k at abit past 110mph and i thought that seemed quite high. Was like waiting for it to change gear but presumably it was in 4th already.

Daft question but you dont have the overdrive button pressed do you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 No. I tested it without OD on. Just felt abit high to me. When switchin OD on it was obviously lowered by a couple of k revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 In all honesty if I ever did those speeds () the last thing on my mind would be looking at my rev counter. I'd be concentrating on the road ahead of me PS: I have never pressed the Overdrive Button yet, to much of a chicken me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 nowhere near that. 3 maybe? id have to look but it will cruse easily at 100 without the use of a turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hmmmmm think im going to go have a try now.. I know the perfect private road to use. I usually leave overdrive off by the way. Do most of you leave it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most of you leave it on? I could be wrong but if you've got overdrive off you're not going to get into 4th gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I am getting confused now lol, you telling me I might have spend the last 2 months driving my car with overdrive off lol?? Is there a dashboard light indicating wether or not yours is on or off?? whenever you are at about 60-70mph, have a play with the button and you'll soon tell, as it will change up and down each press............(i can't remember when the light lit - sorry:) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 OD on will not allow the car to go up to 4th gear I had a 6 speed conversion last year and the diff supplied was a high ration diff and I was at 90ish MPH in 4th at red line, I have a LSD from a six speed now and it runs well over 100 in 4th, is there any way your diff is not standard??

You press it at the toll and the barrier lifts automatically taking the cash from you pre-pay account. Over here some people have adapted it so that they can take the car out of park with the engine off. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Oh ok lads. Thanks for clearing up. Hopefully neither explanation causes any unrest, because neither is worth making a fuss over! I was hoping it was some ejection device, but nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
