crusing speeds ?

[Benyon]

Depends how full my tank is and how far the next petrol station is

60-65 all day long without missing a beat. 8)

Edit: Standard 1600SP, original gearbox, 185R14's at the back.

I tend to cruise at 55mph, or thereabouts. My van will sit at 70 quite comfortably, but it uses more fuel, and I'm in no hurry

stock 1600TP, stock air filter, carb, exhaust etc. Stock 185R14 commercial tyres front and back.

205/70/15's on the rear of Mine

6 Ribbed 091 Rebuilt by Cogbox with a super diff,

1776cc running external Oil Cooler

80Mph on Speedo = 70Mph Realistically @ 3,200rpm

can quite happily sit at 85mph Real speed @ 4,000rpm

Rev the van past 6k on the track but never past 5,250rpm on the road


Oil temperature Gauge is more crucial than a rev counter or speedo, i just gauge my speed from that!

and the 091 box and big tyres help massively, I ran the same engine on a 1600 G/Box and for the same speed was bout 800rpm higher which ment the temp sat higher so i got a slower cruising speed from it

motorway driving, what engine you go and what speed to drive.

micro bus 1600sp 55mph, not to bad mph and the engine sounds sweet.

i past a few other bays going slower. But 2 splitscreen came past me at different points of the jorney pretty fast and they looked standard, whats the deal with them ? is it due to a better gearing after a straight axel swap ?

Yer i tend to stick around 55 - 60 engine dont sound to pushed did 70 on the way to bus types thou!
