Having taken her for a blast last night:P, I am wondering now whether the gearing is even lower than I thought, especially in first and 2nd:frown:. I've searched the web a bit and called APR and cant find any such data. Best were some US specs for ratios, but without calculating tyre circumference etc still doesn't give you the figs and US spec may be slightly different anyway.

Secondly anyone tested/have any views on whether its worth taking the engine beyond 6000rpm, have wound it out a number of times, but not quite convinced the last 500 or so rpm are worth it (ie that upchanging at 6000rpm may give a better result than taking all the way to the redline).

SHARKIE - you do any acceleration fig testing yet?

I tend to agree Jimbo, not a lot above 6000rpm, even when going hard I tend to change around 5000rpm, seems to stay in the power band better that way.

Can someone send me a gearbox code for the 125kw (3 letters) - I will look up the differential ratio for you

just a bunch of bloody rev heads you lot! :3gears:

It was interesting having tried the Oettinger map first. It was quite different to the APR - very good for high speed cruising in Germany I suspect, but next to usless out here. Off the mark, the APR would have it for breakfast, but up top, I'm not so sure.

That's a bad thing? :banana:

Seems someone in the US has taken on building a DP for the Tig! Have a look at this;

Just saw that.
Finally a downpipe solution.

Sharkie and Clip are going to be stoked.
Can't wait to see how many kw it unlocks.

It does look very restrictive from the shots taken of the OEM kit.
The 125/147 could be getting close to 250 with APR 1, downpipe and intake.

I doubt you'd get that much, maybe 210-215 with the above mentioned mods. Just as well I'm getting dynoed next week, will have a benchmark :)

ECU, DP & Intake will only get you to around 210kw .... 215kw if you add some magic to the fuel :cool:

Not convinced to that DP as posted, as that was a hatchet job on the OEM DP. I would like to keep the OEM DP to be able to return it to stock at some point, so would need a new DP.

He also only removes the top small CAT so not so sure of the benefits (and legality) of it all.

I'm still waiting on someone to do a proper DP (split) ..... come on Guy .... :cool:
