hi mates,
i need to get some sort of a machine that calculates the 0-60, 0-1000 and i dont know any idea about this. i think some of you uses "G-Force" (i dont know the exact name!)

How it works?? do i need to connect it to the Speedo?? Are they any good/Accurate?? From where i can get one?? & how much it will cost me..

cheers

G-Tec metere I believe and not majorly accuratre as far as I know!

i know dude.... just made me laugh!!!

Ross

yeo, the g-tec is cheap and effective, I got mine for around £25.

Managed 6.21 out of my coupe with a 90k clutch. Civic got 5.8 or something out of his novitec coupe.

Oh and 6.1 out of his 200bhp TDI ibiza!

Oh and we had 5.31 out of Hursty's M3 3.2 Evo.

The HOMO's wouldnt try it in their EVO's!

i found This, this, this & this

I think the first one is the one all are using, it is still used unit and i cant trust it!!
anyone knows where i can get a new unit from??

If u wanna speed yourself up do it on a decline

yep its the 1st one which I have.

I have this one, it is very good.

easy sub 5! Just depends how much you like your clutch!

I got 5.6 out of the old coupe using just over 1.0 bar on the prv, that was the perfect boost for traction on the road in 1st gear - hooked up beautifully. The Ibiza is good for a sub 6 sec run with new tyres on I'll warrant - will try it with an empty tank and lower the pressures next time...

The Evo would DEFO do sub-5 secs if you launched it, the once I did it was so so brutal, at 30 mph before you knew it.

Civic is the GTEC-LORD - he WILL extract the best possible time out of any given car. Hence we all get him to do our runs.

Oh and I was passenger when he did that one launch, it was mad! Jo/DoctorFrag was next to us I believe.

I'm still the king with my 5.31

yeah that was damm impressive. Wasnt that in a 16vt tuned?

That was in my 20vt with G-Tec chip @ 1.2bar and panel filter. I have another at 5.62 although most of the time it was around 6 seconds.

my best Thing is, I know I could have got a 5.5, I was just worried for my coop's clutch If I get my hands on one again I'm going to go for it.

I have one, and will soon have a 20VT, and will soon add to this thread!

My old metro clocked 6.4, could have gone quicker. Always find it hard to record a 1/4 on the road, bit risky for the license methinks...

so it just starts once you press the accl. paddle on or you have to press any button to start the counter??

It just starts itself once you get moving, handy as it neglects any reaction times etc. You 'prime' it, then as soon as you move it starts.

Yeah, it uses G-force to measure how fast you are going. You level it, the display tells you when its level, then press a button, it says 'GO'. Then as soon as it measures any G-force (as soon as you start moving), it starts timing.

Primitive, primitive

They are very cleaver and use the same tecnology as laser guided missiles. it has to be level to work correctly then works out how fast you are excellerating by the amount of G's you are pulling, its a simple constant, if you are excellerating at a constant 1G you will hit 100mph in X seconds, if done on a level road they can be spot on

I got 6.6 in my FTO

Dave

Yeah, but with a 3-d accelerometer they could easily compensate for slope... and on a current car, why not just ask the ECU?

Neil

i think im going to buy G-TECH "SS" type i looks good but its expensive!!

See the title on the box, i think i can get this from China or Honk Kong for 1/2 price, but question is, Where!?? More search required!

This is my best.

But I've been faster now.

What bike is that on?

just small updat to this thread, i bought this G-Tech "SS"

& my timing is 0-60 : 5.5s
& 1/4 mile is : 13.68 at 110.3

what mods do you have? Some good times.

As below:
- PA FMIC
- Gtech1 Chip
- Supersprint De-Cat & Cat-Back system
- PRV
- upgraded, Bailey DV26

mm, i think that’s it with performance mods and yet to fit this week, PA SI with Apexi Cone filter.
