160mph Speedo

[thebadger]

Doubt that there's anything "stock" about Russ's car!

I think that at 155 on a hill..... 160 would be but a clutch push away!

I however do not condone such speeds under any circumbstances!

Speed will always kill, regardless of the badge!

I always thought, 'Its not speed that kills, but the sudden stop at the end!'

i've just treated myself to the sellers other set, non-turbo gauges (hasn't got the boost gauge), 140mph speedo & 8,000rpm rev-counter (ours only goes to 7,000rpm)

No being funny here but are you serious??

160mph is one hell of target.

Would that mean that RT Russ's 510bhp monster would hit north of 175mph dependent on gearing?

I don't know about you but I would be bricking it at that speed in a Volvo estate...

Let me know more!!

Cheers

Hi

My last power run was 591 hp time will tell what top speed it will do when its final hp is known i have worked out with a bit of help from a very regular top speed runner what the top speed will be but having the room to do it is another matter 175 will be an easy target i would like to think

stock ecu's are limited to 155mph

russ's t5 would hit that atleast, i expect he's upped his rev limiter aswell, so that will give even more top end. Even a stock t5 with enough road will do 160.

The new Rev limit will be 8000

I expect the change in clocks coincided in the change from gear box calculated speedo to ABS sensor driven....
There were also several types of Instrument panel, 150, 160 and those with the trip computor system....VDO is the most common..

So, some had a cable, and some didn't?

Hi Paul
All are electronic but the Phase 1 are run from the gearbox and the laters from the ABS wheel sensors...
Which is why a phase 2 gearbox is not compatable with a phase 1 car....
