DIGI DASH IS IT CORRECT????

[nutsaboutnovas]

Almost finished building the GSi nova now took it out for a quick blast on motorway other night and was horrified at top speed before digi dash was in and analogs were fitted it went off the clocks :D :lol:

however now digi dash is in it seems to read correct speed around 40 miles an hour but on motorway only just went over 100 :cry:

ok i have fitted a kingdom rear spoiler i done some nice bonnet vents but surely the cant looase me in excess of 30 miles an hour :evil:

it does feel fast when driving its got 115.7 BHP proven at wheels surely this cant be right HELP :wink: :oops:

4000rpm in 5th is about 87mph

[nutsaboutnovas]

well it revs off the clock when im following cars assuming they are doing around 70 ish i think my revs are up in the high 5000s was a while ago though...
oh it has 16" rims with 45 rubber if that help...

I BELIEVE THAT THE DIGI DASHES ARE MORE ACCURATE THEN THE ANOLOG CLOCKS SO WHEN YOU WERE OF CLOCKS IN REALITY YOU PROB WASNT :(


DOH (caps lock)

[nutsaboutnovas]

yeah i go along with that.. but i cant see an analog clock set being over 35 miles an hour wrong can you..

I have seen similar problems on Cav analog dashes where a standard 2 litre injestion claimed to go off the clock at 160!!!! Fraid it looks like your old dash was knackered

[nutsaboutnovas]

so your telling me that a GSi only does 100 miles an hour!! even when im flying past people like they are sitting still..

i did a test with a friend that has a 1.8 16 v Astra sport MK3 :lol:

his can do 0-60 in just over 7 seconds i beat him as we did it side by side and my clocks still were not reading 60!!!!!
:o
HELP :x

Have you tried switching the little red switch on the top of the dash?

This changes the reading by a few percet to accomodate for different size wheels.

You should get 100 easy in a GSi

I have a 1.4 and I can get 100 in 3rd! (downhill) a big jump up to 4th since i blew my CR box....won't pull at all in 5th on motorway, top speed in 4th!

I have never had a digi work (due to crap wiring from previous digi loom owner) and felt very stupid when I got a power probe on it :oops:
