Small accel clip of my car

[matt325is]

Here is a little video of my car accelerating from around 20ish to around 110. I was around 1/2 - 3/4 throttle going to around 5k or so. I shift into 2nd at the start.

Good thing the camera man held the camera still during that one.

Lets see some outside shots to really see the acceleration.

anyways nice car. I love the sound of the turbo. I was looking at your mpg gague. It looks like its at a steady 20-25mpg? That seems pretty damn good for a quick acceleration!!

nice, that was only 1/2-3/4 throttle?? wow turbos are sweet

Holy shit, damn I can't wait for my 2.8L




btw nice Brake Lining light =)

damn sounds good, jealous

Haha, Yeah,

Cameraman wasnt the greatest... As for the MPG, it is way off a lot of the time. Not sure that the computer recognizes that I have 32lb/hr injectors, or upped fuel map, or even UNDERSTANDS boost. Right now I get from 16-19mpg during everyday driving. Should get better with more tuning. Right now I am considering a Wideband o2 sensor system and tune it on my own time. Then just go to the dyno to ge the hp readout. I hate having to pay 250 everytime i go up there and have NO results.

Brake lining light goes on and off once in a while, the sensor wire is frayed and gives mixed signals.

check out AEM's new standalone o2 sensor, it has outputs for connecting to whatever ECU you're using, pretty nifty

Sweet, but...I wanna see full throttle with a steady camra man. :)

Sweet, but...I wanna see full throttle with a steady camra man. :)

yup, me too

[rwh11385]

I dig it. I'd also dig a steady camera too!

But seems to be running better, or at least from what I could see. Hope to see you back on the dyno, without the usual conflicts you face.

Hmmm.....chase car camera? That'd be sweet. :P

[Digitalwave]

I can't wait to see it balls-out...

[nando]

are you still using the factory ECU? :shock:
