how fast does your astina goes for 0-100km/h?

[Rupewrecht]

i made Dave's CAI - it was just a bit of piping from bunnings with a K&N fiter bought online

about $100 for the filter tho from memory

[applio]

ha jux had my car fixed, because of the old air intake pipe was busted, i had replaced wif a new intake pipe and also a new sport air filter, now done a few test today. i have got around 10s for my car now. happy.........

also asked quote on the header for my ba v6, but the guy told me that wouldnt gain much power for my car, so any v6 done there header and have some result??

[boostedbatman]

I wouldnt worry about the headers until after you have sorted out the cat back exhaust to something like 2 1/4" with high flow cat or you will get no benefit. Even after this you may get the headers done and still not find the power YOU were hoping for and there is a simple answer to that. Its NA and the auto boxes were never built for speed, they will perform better on the highway than they will on the street.
BTW I wouldnt go near a custom build for the headers and yopu will be extremely lucky to find any for sale in Aus, Custom jobbie may set you back up to $1000 and with very few shops if any that have experience with the v6 'stina
you may as well flush the loot.
I am not talking you out of extractors I just want you to be well aware of what you will be facing along the modified track. Get your headers off the US market (eg: ebay, corksport, rr-racing etc) but you may need a custom cat-back system to suit, but dont go ahead expecting massive gains..
Good Luck

not very fast..looks fast though

I was thinking about this sort of thing the other night. If you filmed your speedo with a camcorder, you could very accurately work out your 0-100 time using video editing software. You'd be able to get the start and and finish bang on, then its just a matter of checking the time code.

Easy!

[MitchTEG]

dont forget your speedo isnt that precise (up to 10km/h out at 100km/h), so you would still need to work out you actual speed to be accurate. I did it with my phone camera on my astina and i reckon it was 9.6sec 0-100 as indicated.

Otherwise you could use G-tech or whatever it is

[Cincinnatus]

air filter, K&N pannel, i think astro boy sells em for under a hunge, cai, well, about $50 in parts from bunnings or super sh1t and about 2 hours of labour on your part under the car, loads of threads on how.
Maybe run it on 95 for a couple of tanks, injector cleaner and maybe a sludge remover during your next oil drop. Sparks are cheap and allways a good thing to replace.
Amazing what a little service will do to your performance.
Then there stage one car lieghtening: remve spare change from ash tray.
Stage two: ciggarete lighter, out the window.
Hi, a little bit goes a long way

[AstinaBoiV6]

i believe when i had my v6 auto i ran mid to low 9s 0 - 100 on the highway.
just with a cai and k&n panel + crush bent 2"

[astina_gt_nz]

whats the average time on bg astina's mine feels like it could do a mid 9 to 100k *or better* i can usually beat most 1600's :P *apart from those bloddy vtecs* *grumbles especially at his mates 2.2 vtec prelude tho* i have beat it to 100k before tho .. but i susspect i was giving my car more tit than him lol only got pod filter and a 3.5" mufler on the back so lots of mods to try and get a good time

[bourbon]

ok now...is yours a SOHC or DOHC auto or manual? now i no my auto SOHC bg beats the ba hatch V6 auto...there hard to start get moving, until you get higher up in the speed...from memory 0-100km/h in the SOHC auto was about 12seconds...so im thinkin in the DOHC i can do it in 9-10seconds...

[dave0r]

last time i did a 0-100 was 5.5 secs ..bear in mind that i have to change into 3rd at 90kmh as 2nd doesnt go to 100kmh

lost traction in 2nd..Open diff box

have since got new tyres, but still waiting on this custom LSD sharft to get re-made

cant wait for 5 secs flat...

[Shaggy]

Think my turbos about 6.5/7 secs

[lantisv62500]

Never been much for the 0-100k time thing as it has little bearing on the roll on drags / passing times out on the real road or the light drags from 0 - 60kph.
If you can do 80 to 120kph in less than 5 seconds then that is impressive. (AMG E55 = 2.78seconds)
On the open road in my Lantis Sedan Type R (2.5litre KLZE=129kw at the wheels) I have pulled out and passed three cars travelling closely together at 80kph and I was doing 185kph by the time I got to the lead car. (80-185kph) (Verified by the Cop that gave me the ticket - Yes and the licence was gone too)
No the Cop was not impressed even if the pass was done with a 1km of room to spare. (Gave the old people something to laugh at)
In town 0 to 60kph is possibly more important.
For round town duties I have a 17 year old Honda Concerto 1600cc EFI Manual and I have no trouble giving the "BoyRacer" a go 0-60kph as the car is no slug 0 to 60kph. After 60kph its a different story.

[MitchTEG]

My tubo does 0-100 in about 6 sec with a good launch.
80-120 is about 4 sec in 3rd gear by my reckoning, not quite mps 3, but nearly

[Rupewrecht]

I have no idea what mine does!

[MitchTEG]

i reckon youd definetly have the edge on me up top dan, similar midrange too by the feel of your car.

BTW, i averaged two ppls gtech results with the same chip as me, one dude got 5.8sec, the other got 6.2 sec.

[Rupewrecht]

Interesting! Cheers for that.

But i've got an extra 30kw atw since Dorrigo with a retune

that sounds like one mint Polo

so you gota 153 kw @ wheels?? or just engine KW??

[MitchTEG]

ohh 30kw, thats a nice addition, i best leave you alone then...:P

153 engine kw, wheels is like 122-125or something. But, 330nm of torque and 1180kg weight helps also.

[Mr.Obsessed]

This fast ?
