0-60mph in a Merkur
I figured my horsepower to be 190 using an equation another merkur enthusiast and I found online.
Its an estimate and not bad seeing as how I am running:
-Stock ecu (175 hp fuel curves)
-Stock fuel pressure
-194 lb fat ass driving
-2 subs and amps
-Stock Vam
and worst of all,
STOCK BOOST!
(oh yeah, this is with winter tires in -15C weather.!) Not excuses, the truth! Variables if you please

thats the thing, its goddamn well untuned.! with some screwin around I could get that much more out of it.! BUT WHY, i am getting rid of the VAM altogether.!
No worries though, I will be upgrading soon I dislike the ECU and VAM setup more than you know.

Ice on road way. Dash speedo proves nothing.
A pinto can do 0-60 in under 6.5 seconds in winter on icy roads. Speedo reads 60 mph, but your true travel speed is not.
Chit man, I once did 140 km/hr in a parking lot gas station Sure I was trying to get up an icy hill and my front tire was flat, it was a RWD car and my true travel speed was 0.00.

Nice vid, love the blow off valve!
Here one I did last summer, was 10-60mph cause my drag radials were spinning to much, anyways you can hear the blower start when I get into it at around 5 second mark.

I'll try and post a vid soon with my new setup... same clutch though, unfortunately. I can't find the new clutch I bought. How the fuck does one lose a clutch?? Yeesh.
