I am new to the rotary scene but I want to buy a tII. does any one know about how fast it would be compared to a Saab 9000 aero? thats my car right now. any info would help.

 

use the search function of the forum to find anwsers to questions that have been asked a million times.

 

How fast is a saab 9000 aero? I don't even know what that is. What year is it? engine, HP, drivetrain?

 

an aero is a tubo charged 4. i think it makes 225Bhp and 258 tq. not sure what the drive line losses are. should be too much.

 

whats your 1/4 mile time?

 

times should be mid 15s according to some magazines. but its front wheel drive so its slightly off compared to rwd car.

 

N/A rx7's run 16's........with some work a turbo II can be a 13-14 second car

 

Stock TII is nothing spectacular. Modded, it's a different story and it's fairly easy to make 13 sec car with TII But things get harder and harder from there...

 

Checking on the net it seems the 0-60 times range from 6.5 to 6.7 sec. and 1/4 mile times 14.9 to 15.5. Right about in the ballpark of a stock S4. A S5 stock, a little faster, let's say 6 sec and 14.8. Easy, inexpensive mods would drop the number significantly on both models though. Good luck finding one.

 

Generally a stock s4 and s5 should run low 15's, like a 15.2 iirc, in the 1/4 mile. They can easily be made into a pretty quick car

 

My stock motor/turbo combo went 13.4..

 

how fast when?

at an autocross its faster than alot of cars with lots more horsepower.

on twisty roads its faster than tons of cars with gobs more horsepower.

on the 1/4 mile its not that quick.

in the snow its not that quick

in the dirt its not that quick

what kind of driving are ya doing with the thing? there are alot of different 'fast's out there

 

try this link http://www.rx7.voodoobox.net/infofaq/rx7specs.html

 

elaborate on that. What were your mods man?

 

Where the hell did they get those times? Since when does a stock s4 n/a run a 15.5? Or a stock s5 n/a running a 15.3?

 

Absolutely correct.

But, I think autocross it's a lot faster, perhaps heaps faster, and those that are quick are not that quick compared to those with gobs of horsepower, depending what fuel the gobs were and if the panels had black or red decals. Any gobs type on snow or dirt is still quicker than one with tons of horsepower because of the weight disadvantage.

 

Stock S4 motor, S5 Turbo, exhaust, injectors, FCD...

Not much more.

 

Saab vs an Rx-7?

There's no comparison. The 7 has more style and is/can be easily made faster.

 

my thoughts exactly

 

i searched the internet and i found that site im not to sure on those times neither but i thought it woulnt be to far off

 

I don't know how they pulled a 15 in a NA.

Both of my 88's did 17's.

I hope to be doing low 14's/high 13's in my setup.Anything lower and I'll be really happy!
S4 engine w/S5 turbo,2.5 RB DP,PS,Corksport 2.5 to 3inch catback,Walbro,cleaned injectors,intake,TB mod....

I kept it pretty stock though for a TII Well compared to the guys around here(Carx7,J-Rat,Onefast,etc)

BTW Jrat don't you have a MBC? That helps the times a bit

I'll probably be boosting really low since I have a S5 turbo with no MBC but that's good for the break in.

 

thanks for the help

 

NAs aren't that slow my s4 ran a 15.2 with only intake and exhaust since then i added a lsd, ported the tb, and got new tires. I've beaten many 14 second cars but haven't been to the track since the new mods but it does show that it didn't take much on my NA to get it damn near a 14, and I still get decent gas mileage too

 

what kind of gas milage does a stock TII get with not very aggressive driving?

 

Well I dont think any of those are correct. Here are the times I go by from a site that has stats on hundreds of cars, most of them obtained from car and driver and other magazines.

Stock S4 N/A:

0-60 - 8.5
1/4 Mile - 16.5


Stock S4 TII:

0-60 - 6.6
1/4 Mile - 15.2


Stock S5 N/A:

0-60 - 8.5
1/4 Mile - 16.5

Stock S5 TII:

On this one I got mixed results but here are the two that I got

0-60 - 6.7
1/4 Mile - 15.1

and

0-60 - 6.3
1/4 Mile - 14.9
