Default How does a LoveFab pull...VIDEO

One of the main reasons I went turbo was, that I felt like the car does not accelerate from higher speeds the same way as from lower speeds, what of curse makes sense if you take the engine output into account. Literally, after 160kmh the party was over.

Now with a proper turbo (or sc) set-up,it becomes a different animal. You can cruise at 60mph/100kmh just like shown in the following video, floor it and there you gooooo

100-200kmh pull

Please keep in mind that if you start from 0, the time from 100 to 200kmh will of course take less because the car is already accelerating. This way, it just shows how you can accelerate from a stable, but higher speed.


Oh...and in case you are wondering how the story would continue. Well, with the 4.57 gears, the car does not stop pulling like crazy all the way till you redline 6th.

Wow nice... I kept saying to myself "okay he's at 60. Okay he's at... 90... Right! 120 now damn!!" HAHA
Very linear pull... Didnt seem to slow down the pull much after a shift. CooL!

What's the power delivery like down low with your setup. Will it upset the car mid turn easily with throttle application? That did look very quick on the accel. What size tires are you running on your CE's?

^ I like that you are one of the few that care about driving the S :-)
My rears are 255 Michelin PS2, front I run 225. No traction problem what so ever, only thing I don't like is that with over 2.5 neg. camber and a stiff suspension/chassis combo, they don't "talk" to me, but they do on a stock car.
The power is very controlable, but going trough a turn while being at half throttle and keeping the car in VTEC would surely give you a happy tail if you accelerate out of it like a donkey, because there is 35-40% more torque available.

BTW guys, the car feels like it accelerates in the same way no matter if 4th or 6th gear and it keeps the classic F20C nature. the higher the RPM, the more power you feel. No turbo kick-in feeling, no neck braking torque, just a strong,stable pull from 3800rpm all the way to redline.
I bet if there would be a taller 6gear, this thing would easily hit 300kmh with a hard top.
The pull was done starting from 3rd, the gears are 4.57.
BTW. the manifold was cracked and I have a passanger. I will take a video during the weekend once I retune the car and do it alone.
