When I was looking through my JB4 logs, I realised they are also good for calculating various in gear acceleration times.
I have calculated that in third gear at 4000rpm, my 6MT is travelling at 60mph, and at 6700rpm it's at 100mph.
I haven't specifically done any third gear pulls yet which capture the entire rpm range required, with a bit of overlap at each end, say 3800rpm to 6900rpm, but looking at the logs I have, comparing the time stamps from 4000rpm to 6700rpm, it appears my car is doing 60-100mph in less than 5.5 seconds, which is really quick!
I am going to do log some runs to specifically measure the time, has anyone actually measured their in gear acceleration times with timing equipment and then compared the results with the time stamping on their JB4 logs to confirm the accuracy of the time stamps? I have no reason to doubt their accuracy at all, but it would be good to know for sure.
I will also do a couple of runs on map 4 to compare the times to published stats and calculate the time difference between stock vs map 6. Has anyone else done this?
