top speeds
 
what kind of top speeds are you guys reaching? ive only reached around 113mph. i ran out of straight stretch but she wasnt pulling much once i reached that speed anyway. :mad:

A hair over 120mph when I tried to top it out on a long 5mi stretch of boon-dock road.
[edit] and that is after I drove it 600 miles of a 740 mile trip from OK to CO during 100+ degree heat (if it matters, I dunno)...

Let me go see, If you dont hear back Im in jail or dead!

My 12a streetport turbo? Its 140mph+ forsure. I know it gets to 140mph with 7psi boost. I'll bump up the boost sometime.

But driving that fast is very unsafe with H-rated tires and the 1st gens are not that stable without more downforce from either wings or front air dams or both. I don't care about top speed when its easy to get past 130mph. :D

Mr_Rx7_Au 09-29-03 09:08 PM

I've had my rx over 190km/h

Viperx7 09-29-03 10:11 PM

I had my ported 12A over 140mph while living in Germany. Gotta love the Autobahn. So far, I've only took my Turbo to 120+. It's a little more complicated here in the States.;)

Rx7carl 09-30-03 07:36 AM

136 or 142 mph. Havent done the check of my 5th gear to know which is correct. Stock port 12A, MSD ign, stock carb, stock 79 manifold, carter fuel pump, holley FPR, low restriction air intake, 4:88 gears, long primary header exhaust, electric fan, underdrive pulleys.

Aico 09-30-03 09:14 AM

200km/u so around 133mph

Bayce 09-30-03 09:39 AM

Not real good with standard 185X70x13's. . . little bit hairy. 190 KMH = 118.065 MPH

What a waste of our new server space to have two threads on the exact same subject...:rolleyes:

Aico 09-30-03 12:46 PM

Yea a thread really takes up a lot of space

mar3 09-30-03 01:11 PM

Oh wasteful European...waste not want not...ring a bell?;)

Aico 09-30-03 04:19 PM

Hmmmm waste not want not. Like you said I am a European. I do not quite understand that.

It's like the bell rings so far away I need binoculars in order to hear it.
