Don't the VZ Commos have the 3.8L engine? The BMW 330i for sure has 170kW from factory.

LOL, no they don't run a 3.8L.

They run a 3.6 Alloytec, and a multitude of gearboxes which alter the performance.

If we're getting into this one, on a good run, the Honda Jazz will out do certain Alloytec V6 Commos to 80KM/H... The real test is that it will be beaten by the commo on the 1/4 mile.

I've seen many 300 and 400RWKW cars get munched in a traffic light GP, purely because they're a pig to get off the mark, but once above 100KM/H they really mumbo. The 0-100KM/H is HUGELY dependent on the launch...

just to add the RALLIART magna is the fastest non turbo 6 cylinder (quickest car legal under Restrictions)

3.5 L V6

180 KW

0-100 - 6.8 sec

1/4 Mile - 14.7 sec

apparently they could even beat the VT SS and AU XR8.

the VrX Magna also had a 3.5 L V6 which produced 155 KW

so my argument is that the Fastest cars out there for P Platers are sports sedans. EG. Magna, XR6, SS.

Make your choice if you want your car too look cool (imports like, NA supras,skyline, Mr2, 300ZX, impreza etc.all which have reasonable performance) or have the fastest car possible

i'm a responsible driver, others just fly past me on a 60 road and i'm like, "calm down buddy far out...." (99% of the time)

PLUS -> i've never ever got a fine, speeding ticket, parking ticket, red camera or any road related offence in my almost 2 years of driving, that's how responsible i am...

a turbo skyline/supra will endevour to pop your police encounter cherry, they too have some sort of dark evil magic inside them :D

S2000/Integra Type R are both faster than a Magna and still legal under P plate laws.

No one said anything about price, this guy said that the magna is faster....which is bullshit.

How many 17yo kids do you know who could afford the S2000...also not much faster in a straight line to the magma or a 4L falcon etc...and tahst all 17yo kids car about.

He said quickest 6cyl I believe...?

S2k, ITR's are 4cyl.

Anyway, along with s2k's and itr's, also ep3r's, golf r32's and n/a supras are pretty quick, 0-100. Those would be my picks if that was the goal.

Although I can kind of see where the OP is coming from (imagining the R34 would be quicker); it's not really, such is how it is.

It's still a nice car imo; but you won't be the quickest mofo on the road, lols. Reasonable performance and nice looks imo (:

'93 stock NA Supra will do 0-100 anywhere between 6.2 (independently tested) and 6.7secs (factory claimed) according to various sources. nyaanyaa.gif

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
