Hi guys, I'm from Malaysia and in our forum, we have a hot topic about this...anyone of you guys tried it before?

The question arises when an A31 was smoked by an M3 on a Malaysian highway on top speed, and because of the car age, the chasis is a big issue whether or not it will support up to 300kmph of G-force, even if the car has a full anti-rollcage and strenghtening bars in it....

currently the vote is 90% of the Ceffy owners saying it was impossible to chase down an M3, M5 is of course out of the question...

I'm with the remaining 10%, 'cause I've tried it before...what do you guys think, pls share your ideas, comments and experiences here, thanks in advance!!!

I don't think 1JZ conversions are that common in Malaysia. Last time I was there most of the guys were running RB25DET's and RB20DET's. Thailand is the capital of 1JZ conversions.

5000rpm in 5th (s13 engine and gbox) with my car has been done. I'm not sure how fast that is but at that speed with foot fully off the accel it took 7 seconds or so for the speedo to get back to 180. Done without a wing.

So with a huge wing, some racing decals and better tyres I don't see why a cef can't do 300kmh.

I'd prefer to be in the BMW though.. Just something inherently safer about a german made car designed from the factory to test the limits of human terminal speed courage/stupidity :D

Gearbox and diff would be required. To lengthen range.

I have 'seen' 6700 in 5th and it was off the speedo for about 30secs to a min to get to that. Est speed around 220. So with a little more it could make it.

Goes from 120 > 180 very quickly once the turbo comes on and engine is revving. Probably 5-10 sec acceleration time.

Would be a monster if it wasnt revving so hard. This was with standard everything. Never been in an M3 / 5 so not sure how fast they are. :P

I'd be quite happy to drive a Ceffy at 250+ with standard chassis.. As long as it had some forgiving coilover settings with strut braces.

Anywhere over the 300rwhp mark should give the M5 a decent go?

I spose there's always option of a 100 wet shot nos setup :(

I think you should provide a link to your forum so I can check out some 1jz conversions :lol:

Thank you.

here's the link...http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=2547

and just to inform you, because of government regulations, doing a transplant of engine of different car brand (like toyota engine into Ceffy) is not permitted in Malaysia.

Is the limiter of BMW cars really set to 250kmph? no wonder when I was chasing that M5, it only tops 250kmph, won't go faster anymore....and just to let u guys know, the road condition is not that good here, even on a highway, doing 300kmph would be suicide...even with a full anti-roll cage, best suspensions and great tires.

in the same car I hit 5800 rpm in top and there was still more

yes definatly doable even if a bit hairy especially on bumpy roads 7500 in the same car would be 300 kph from memory. the killer in that car is the 100-to 200 kph time 5 or 7 seconds ( never timed it as your too busy concentrating. 270-280 is definatly achiveable approx 7000 pm.

the cefiro is pretty areodynamic for its age 400 hp + @ the engine would be needed

5000rpm in 5th gear (in my car) has me sitting at about 240kmph - 250kmph

but I have had a chance to wind it right out to see what it would get to.

But bearing in mind guys the that going from 290kmph to 300kmph the wind pressure on the front of your car almost doubles.

The Cefi's rock... but I think the M5 produces like 450bhp?? That's a sh*tload of power for a stocker... but as someone has duely pointed out.. most BMW "performance cars" are speed limited... that removed, and they can let their full "autobahn" potential be realised.. in short.... cefi would probably get drilled.... Unless modified to a similar spec.

Tad over 500hp if you use the right settings. Too many buttons to push, by the time they actually have their car set for 500hp, the cef would have lapped it twice :D

The fastest I have been in My C33 Laurel is 255kmph. This is with 8 Point Cage, Swaybars, Strut Braces, Coilovers, 300hp RB25det etc.

So yes I would say definately achievable, jsut with the right Modifications.

You must respect the M5 though. It standard could beat alot of modified C33's/A31's. I have never raced one but I think once I got past the Lag factor It would be on like Donkey Kong.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
