I’ve seen this GSI about at shows and know Muni is a fantastic engine builder! All credit to Sean at SM for what appears to be a fantastic car for driveability... it sounds insane. I’m a diehard Vauxhall fan, so maybe I’m biased, but this is a phenomenal car! Look forward to seeing it more over show season! 🙌🏼 Keep up the awesome content Jamie, looking forward to catching up with the new videos, especially now the better weather is here! 🙌🏼👌🏻

Vauxhalls long gearing gives mega speeds in each gear. Just keeps pulling. Beast.

[@TheZacdes]

Cant be too long! he needed 3rd for the 0 to 60 even with a 7000 redline:/

[@LittleRocket100]

@@TheZacdes I have to use 3rd gear to get to 60 i feel like my engines going to blow up in 1st and 2nd.

[@TheZacdes]

@@LittleRocket100 wise!!

[@noxious89123]

@@TheZacdes Looking at my data logs, 2nd gear 60mph is at 6770rpm. I believe the standard rev limiter is at 6600rpm (with redline on the dial at 6500rpm). Some remaps will increase the rev limit slightly, but there isn't really anything to be gained. Power falls off pretty rapidly, as the standard cams and inlet manifold are really designed to strong midrange torque, not top end. 4th gear is good for 125mph @ 6500rpm. 5th is 157mph at 6500rpm (calculated; never hit that speed).

I bought a mint GSi in standard form then took it to 240bhp and even that was enough to entertain the newest hot hatches of the time! This must feel pretty powerful in comparison, the surge as it gradually increases having such a linear map will feel mint.

How’d he manage to knock 300kgs off the weight, whilst adding the supporting mods for the power and full cage? My old mk4 1.8 Sri was stripped out completely, even the structure of dash, sound deadening, and heater matrix was removed and I couldn’t get sub 1080kg!

@@simonwatson7494 Be fair! One run, bulk wheelspin, and anyway, its only a figure:/ It hardly reflects the real power and acceleration ability of this beast!

If my 1200 kilo 290bhp hatch can pull regular mid 6es with launch and traction control giving optimal, as in damn near perfect launches, this beast has the potential of getting into the 4s.
