Eh ?
Clearly if you were attempting to get anywhere at speed, you'd get in the right gear first. An engine that's geared to 170mph in top, and doesn't make full boost till
4500rpm, is quite obviously not gonna make any progress at 30mph in top gear !Do you think the Fiat would have won if the Evo was in 2nd gear ?
They were, and that's exactly why it was bias.

Did you see the black smoke coming out of the exhaust! They're all like that, the FQ330 and upwards. I've a Ralliart dealer nearby, the manager takes a similar route to work as me and boots his various flavours of demonstrator Evo to work, resulting in black smoke and one hell of a stench. Wonder how long the catalysts last on those things! They've got a 2.0 NA version too which I didn't know existed galled the GT or something. Looks the same as an Evo 320 but without the vent on top of the bonnet.
I wasn't quite sure what he meant by that.
Surely "lag" is the fraction-of-a-second that it takes the Turbo to spool up, when you hit the loud pedal in the boost zone (2100rpm upwards in mine).
You can't actually make full-boost if you're below the required rev range, so surely the lag there is infinate ?
He was simply talking about the time it takes to get from 0rpm to 4500rpm, in order that the Turbo can spool up properly. But if you wanna get from
0rpm to 4500rpm, you simply change down a gear or three - you don't hit the loud pedal, then sit back and wait 30 seconds !If I floor it in 5th from 10mph, I also have zero acceleration - cos I'm
*way* under 2100rpm !
the FQ330 and
work as me and boots
one hell of a
NA version too which
but without the
most jap stuff tends to get a bit of the black smoke out the back, normal on jap turbo stuff. they over fuel like a bastard to stop you blowing the thing up :) to much though can bog the engine a bit. it was only a msall puff, a big puff usually means the ECU is in a panic on an MR2 :-P

Hence you see alot of them with 1000cc injectors.
mine has 550 injectors but later MR2's had 850 injectors as standard
I ment evo's.

Did I hear JC say 4mpg if your going for it???
Justin.
Most car's drink that much at 160 mph+ I think.
Yet more bollocks.
"Oh, the exuberance of yoof..."
Well how much do they average then? I know bmw m3's at 155mph drink 7 mpg, a cali style 800 bhp rx-7 managed 2 mpg but that was a max power feature last year :) That Jun 1000 bhp supra managed something like 0.8 mpg at full wack.
Do enlighten me master :P
dont tell him he doesnt know what he's on about...he gets angry :o)
"Most car's drink that much at 160 mph+ I think"
Like the above... only a 75% increase in MPG, so it's well in the 'same' ball park, isn't it...
I dare say *some* cars do do around 4mpg when driven at a constant 160, and I dare say a lot do a fair bit more.
Ok.
You're fast becoming someone who *was* a source of minor amusement to start with, but is now becoming a PITA who spouts incessant bollocks.
In a nutshell, f*ck off and take your opinions represented as fact to somewhere you'll be far more at home, like Max Power and its ilk... please.
Has he just had a bad day too? are are you really just annoying??
:o)

At 130 indicated my trip computer says i'm doing 13mpg :)
