KLZE vs MX3 gearbox
-
**Preaching to the choir - I don't even read my speedo in Red. But do the math.
K8 5th - 0.795:1
K8 Final - 4.388:1
Engine speed 7,000rpm = output shaft/hub speed of 2006.62rpm205/55R15
Tyre diameter = 23.877"
Tyre circumference = 75.015" (distance per revolution)2006.62rpm * 75.015"/revolution = 142.54mph @ 7,000rpm
205/40R17 tyres are 1.6% smaller, which is good for 140mph (140.03mph). Push the revs to 7,200 and you have 144mph (144.03mph). Close enough to 150mph for my likes - and the ZE should have enough power to overcome the MX-3's aero limit.**

i'm on 205 40 17's mate, whats that calc at?
Also, I have no limiter but according to my dyno run I make peak power at 6250 rpm so would only take it past 7k in 5th anyway.
-
Sorry, mistype - that is for your 205/40R17s.
-
I'll have a mx3 box out of the 3 im breaking at the mo if your interested?
Also dont mean to be stupid as im still learning but what is "megasquirt"?
-
ECU piggyback (or standalone) designed to extract more power by adjusting the fuelling and fuel/air ratio.

Cheers famine, was on the verge of google-in it.

I'm going for a stand alone megasquirt which does away with the VRIS, VAF, Dizzy and ECU and replaces it with a mappable ecu, coil pack and EDIS unit. Should gain me about 25bhp and as said, it controls fuel and spark.
Once fitted I will have a KL36 KLZE ecu for sale :D

-
K8 Box 100%

thanks mxgulf

**Agreed - on a normal road, you might struggle for grip booting it in 1st or 2nd, but on a high-friction drag strip with slicks or cheaters, the shorter ratios will be win.
I still have a spare, 86k old K8 'box :D**
