Why is the JB3 so slow?

Mike@N54Tuning.com · 01-22-2010, 10:08 AM

Had some fun with the title

One of my customers sent me this video of a his fully modded JB3 car doing a pull on a closed circuit. I just can't stop watching it and looking how fast the speedometer goes around.. Really puts into perspective how fast these cars are when tuned with the JB3 and supporting mods (FMIC, DPs, Intake, etc.)

I got permission to post it for you guys so enjoy

We will need a JB100 for that.

Hey, Hey lets put this in perspective....the car IS NOT a North American.....note it is km/h instead of mph....so the needle will look like it is going faster than on a North American vehicle...BTW 260km/h is about 161.5 mph.......

The needle won't go any faster

The speedo is the same size, just different numbers and the actual speed of the needle stays the same whether you have a US car or a Canadian/European car.

Not trying to insult but Canada is in North America also. We use km/h.

280 KPH on euro speedo > 160 MPH on US speedo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that make the euro car "appear" to be accelerating slower according to the speedo? Higher top speed, but the same circumference on the speedo...

AchtungF80 · 01-23-2010, 05:25 PM

That speedometer moved 600cc motorcycle fast!

Mark M · 01-23-2010, 08:44 PM

Imagine if JuiceBox made a tune for the 4 turbos on the Veyron! WOWOWOWOWOW. How insane would that be?

manu135i · 01-25-2010, 07:13 AM

now I have decided that I will put the version 1.41 from us here because it's too cold for 1.4 and every time I go into limp ..
