how much torque does a 20v have?

[Mr Revhead]

enough to tow THIS

50k distance, up hills, down hills no slower than 70k

even dragged off 2 grannies and a 2002 rav4 at the lights

[flygt4]

thatll sell the car warrick

how was the clutch feeling after

[Mr Revhead]

same as before i left

adds another 2 plus factors! now a good tow car, and proves the 20v powah!!!

[Lloyd]

3K with a partially blown head gasket and slightly rooted clutch in my KE20 towed my Levin home in Dunedin including up High Street (far from flat)

[dotdog]

Thats impressive, concidering my 20v can hardly pull its self up a hill in top gear

[fuel]

That looks photoshopped to me!

My old 1800cc carb'd Galant (all 60kW of fury) towed a 4WD Cordia on a dual axle trailer from Helensville to Hamilton (about 160km) juuust fine... although on a couple hills I had to change down to first gear haha.

[Adamal]

Don't lie Warwick, its got a 3S conversion, hasn't it?

[Bling]

not a bad effort i've towed mates 20v back from races one trip and a honda or 2, they tow ok

on a side note (no pun) why is the photo not level.... or do I just have my screen facing the wrong way up?

[85AW20v]

The photo must have been an action shot - wall of death style. He was going so fast it still stuck on the vertical bits

[Leon]

We towed my AW11 with the KP60 I owned. Fear the 4k!

[Mr Revhead]

SARD ecu FTW!! it would have been a lot worse with the stock one!

[Chickenman]

I was gonna say Warwick, the difference in your car was really noticeable. Even just driving around it had much better low end than every other silvertop I've ever been in.

[Dell'Orto]

Pfff, I towed my MR2 in a fully enclosed trailer with the wagon, no faster than 50k as the total weight of the car and trailer would have been damn near double that of the wagon
I've also towed an S13 Silvia from Titahi Bay to Palmy on an A frame, pretty easily too.
4K > silvertop

[Quint]

Towed a supra from auckland to whangarei on a trailer dolly behind a hiace

Logging trucks were over takeing us on the hills

[B1NZ]

My 20v struggles with Ngaranga (sp?) in top gear, they just dont seem to have the torque compared to my Ae92 smallport redtop which seem to love going up there.

Basically I'm loosing speed in 4th or 5th in the Levin, Maybe its my fat ass haha

[soopachargen]

whos gonna be the first to photoshop it to make it a trailer of goats??

[Mr Revhead]

haha

b1: forth in my 101. 5th in the aw

[Muzzie]

Towed a supra from auckland to whangarei on a trailer dolly behind a hiace

Logging trucks were over takeing us on the hills

Towed a Delica Space Gear coach from Taupo to Auckland on a solid unbraked car trailer with a Hiace

Te be honest, I did more passing of other cars than other cars passing me. Fear the mighty diesel!

I can do Ngauranga in 5th in my Levin with 2 people in it... sometimes if i have a few things in the back aswell I have to chop down to 4th but never lower...

I remember being really impressed with Jimmy / Loudtoy's old silvertop 20v in terms of torque - every other 20v I've driven have been flat as a pancake down low. I can't say I'd call it outright torquey, but it was certainly torquey for a 1.6l motor. But there was something not right with that car... maybe Toyota got generous and actually gave the odd 20v the torque and power claims they made for it
