Thread: third gear speed

on a private road i get to just under 100 i f i pushed a bit more prob could get over a ton, not sure where rev limiter is though never hit it?

i think i hit the limiter at about 6 - 6.5 ish i was so shocked with over 100 my car hated it though.

what turbo u running mate, ye i think it is 6.5k

running just a k03 std with 220bhp. whats the top end i havent even tested what it does.

140+ ish ive heard wouldnt really wana do that though lol

really thats nuts i dont want to go thier on uk roads.

140 in 3rd...lol, I take it you mean 5th. I think the gearbox tops out about 155-160 I heard somewhere so just depends if you have enough power. (In 5th that is) To be honest I dont think I have ever hit the limiter in my cupra, bit strange what sort of limiter is it? Does it just hold at max revs or bounce? Emlyn

ye doesnt yours hit 140 in 3rd lol, i dunno about the rev limiter maybe someone else could confirm?

140 in third would be insane. im pretty sure it bounced on the limiter. cant confirm that becuase my car went into limp mode when i hit it.

mine does around 103 in 3rd. but the turbo drops of at 6k so really u wanna change just before that. Doesnt bounce of the limiter just sort of bogs or stops the power just because its outta revs. i have had 145 mph out of mine at 4k. Dyno says 150 at 5k i think dont have it to hand atm.
