Post your 3rd and 4th gear pulls

[Ether-D]

So I thought it would be fun to have a thread with your 50-80mph pulls. Not getting crazy. It'll be a little scientific if we keep them all the same speed and gear. Just point your phone at your cluster and nail it. We've all read about your mods, now let's see what they actually do. Just to put a face with a name kinda thing. Easy to just go out and get some cell phone video and post it up. So post it up! I'd also suggest keeping any shit-talking about anyone's video to yourself. On that note, here's mine!

Oh yeah, ONLY DO THIS ON A CLOSED ROAD!!!!! If you die, it's not my fault, blah, blah, blah...

My set up: M20b25 stock from the head to the oil pan, with eaton m90 supercharger running 9lbs peak boost, megasquirt 2 (so professionally built by Whodwho, but tuned by a complete newbie: me), 3.73 rear-end, OE exhaust (with cat), that's about it.

(edit: For the life of me, I can't fuckin' figure out the embedding shit. Whateves.
Edit 2.0: Thanks rturbo 930, you da bessssss!)

Do your pulls on the way to church! Then post em up! Remember 50-80 mph, 3rd and 4th (5th even, if you want).

(And thanks to Rturbo 930 for the embedding lesson!)

You don't even have to be modded. We need a baseline anyway.

Maybe the early morning r3vers will have enough balls to post...

4th gear in the E30 is triple digits, I would never do a 50-80 pull in 4th because that's what 3rd gear is for. in the E90, I end up letting off at 6k in 3rd because I'm nearing the century mark and I don't want to get arrested. :p

So wish my 333i was not in bits at the moment. Nothing terminal just upgrading the intercooler to control intake temps. Anyway I done a pull in 4th in 22c ambient temp from 1000 rpm to 5000rpm 25mph to 120mph approx indicated took 22 seconds. Here is the AFR during the pull. Need to find time and motivation to get it back together.

I thought 4th gear pulls would help get into the lower rpms to show torque. I know 4th gear pulls at low rpm aren't as exciting, but just for science.

Thanks for posting, but in the future, let's just post videos so as to compare "real world" results and keep it cleanish and organized in here. So put your car back together and get us a video!

The goal was to make some way to post and compare in a way that is accessible to all. I've never had my car on a dyno, but I have it on a flat road just about every day.

C'mon people. This takes just a couple minutes to do. Any motor, any setup. 3rd and 4th gear.

I would especially love to have a completely stock pull or two to set the baseline as well. Anyone?

[estoguy]

I only got an Eta, but if the weather isn't crappy in the next few days, I'll try to remember to do this. It's for science. ;)

This is from a couple years ago...4th gear pull 3.73 diff
Mods: 2.8L M20, Schrick 284, Long tube headers and megasquirt.

[TheTacoMan]

Running a 3.15 diff so end of third is close to 120mph.
This was with a shit ebay gt35r, new turbo is considerably faster now but no video of it.

[Ether-D]

Sweet! Thanks for adding to the archive fellers. Taco, go get some fresh video bro with your latest setup.

Future posters: Post what your mods are and what diff you're running also, if you please.
