The WALL ( no more acceleration )

[Rev]

Just curious when people stop accelerating in over drive on a steepish grade say 17% rise.

I notice I hit the wall just after 120kph 74.5mph at 5 psi curious thing is about this right for the torque I have at around 3000rpm in OD and my car mass of around 930KG+driver. It needed 15psi on the gauge before the car felt like it was accelerating again at around 87 mph.

auot right? maybe its just a gap created by the ratios?

I suspect I have a bigger torque gap in OD at low revs for 2 reasons -
1 I have a 4efte in a car that originally designed for 5efhe torque.
2 My K1 turbo peaks torque at 3800 rather than 3000 like a ct9b.

The ct9b is perfect for OD on hills I was hoping someone with a td04 may have experienced the OD limits on a hill for comparison.

If some one has a similar limit I can probably eliminate a failing fuel pump which can also be an issue at speed.

My torque convertor is messed up so I can't compare unfortunately mate. Will update once I get my fresh engine and gearbox in!

Thanks Jay , hope you get back on the road soon its not so good being without wheels but a fresh engine and box now that will be sweet.
