DC350

Okay boys, got the car going 185 tonight. It was it, i had the pedal mashed to the floor in 4th, 185 it was still climbing but i guess thats the top speed. Now, I'm not to happy with it :P it's not like i go that speed every day but would removing all the cats make a pretty big difference? and addin a good cylinder filter....and some stickers? hehe. The car doens't sputter make any funny noises or anythin just simple says okay, thats enough...still climbing but SLOW so 185-90 was the top. I slowed down because of the oncomgin traffic...white car...kinda sketchy. And dont worry this was on a big highway with no cars around.

I almost threw up the BS flag...till I realised you were talking about kilometers per hour instead of miles...

I hit 156 in my turbo II once...MPH that is...

I hit 220 in my completely stock 88 GX, 5000 km on new motor, 3/4 tank, and girlfirend in passenger seat, coming home from a wedding, chilliwack to abbotsford along the No. 1 at 2 am.

Surpised you couldn't go faster....

As for the TII.... well, it buries the needle far too quickly.

Er. Not to be an N/A basher, since my rx is technically an N/A, but 185 kmh?
As in, ~115mph?

That settles it. I'm buying the Turbo II in my area.

Hell, I did 125 in mom's volvo on the way home from the theatre tonight.

i think my cats are clogged, they get so hot. After a normal drive, i can put water on the chrome tips and it will SIZZLE down to nothin within a matter of seconds, there has got to be something wrong, the engine ain't even that old. I can squeel the crap outta 1st 2nd and chirp 3rd...but not high up there. somethins gotta be wrong

Damn Swede

I had my NA goin 190 or so in 4th while racing a friend's 95 Mustang (Kicked his *** by the way), and still had all of 5th to go. Too bad the road was about to end, or else I would have seen what this thing can really do.

DC350

so...all your saying is that i needed to change into 5th? God, okay. thats would have been easy, next time i'm pullin that hard i will change to 5th

scathcart

Your car will hardly pull in 5th. I just went a little past redline in fourth.

Scott 89t2

I can go that fast going UP big hills

DC350

yeah, thanks mr turbo man...:P:

dre_2ooo

I've had my N/A up to like 125 @ 6500 RPMs in 4th (redline is 8k) and it was still pulling fast. Beat the turbo eclipse we were racing and shut down.

I'm sure it woulda wound out 4th at like 130 and pulled some in 5th... I 'm guessing a 140-145 top speed?

DC350

Yeah, pretty sure i'm having alot of power held back.Not sure what, but after i get my race pipe on there i will still check out whats the dilly. I mean the car pushes like a mother ****** 1st 2nd 3rd 4th to 180 like nadda....but after that it's just increases slowly

Scott 89t2

do you have a 4' wing on there? that would slow you down on the top end

scathcart

Wanna race, Scott? 2G buy-in. DC350 can hold the money, since he's too slow to get away.

DC350

you'll regret that! lol, Man somethin has got to be wrong, the car is amazing but then 190 is....very slow accel, I'll take a picture of the speedo when i get some car mods on and then i will take both of your money and be GONE...

PUNK

scathcart

You want a hand? I'm home soon, and I know how to analyze a rotary engine for probs. You should be faster. Much faster. What are your mods?
As for being gone.... well, I doubt it given your engine's unassisted breathing. Scott and I both got the goods, and I have a little juice to throw in there as well. I also am looking for a reason to put in a new engine, so maybe we'll just have to see exactly how much horsepower a basically stock engine can handle before cracking? Geez that'll be fun... 100 first stage, 200 second stage sound good?

I miss my NA, but there's nothing like boost.

bcty

hey DC450.. just get your exhast and a good intake so your engine can breath better! that will help a lot.. stupid stock intake!! when i did my run i redlined 4th and kept pullin in 5th gear...

DC350

Nice, yeah scathcart. That would be great, my dad lives in van, and i'm going to see him soon. Maybe we can meet up. The car is all stock, cept some bassy mufflers and big resonators. And some clear front lights I need to get the muffler shop to push my exhaust back into place (It's hangin down) I've got a race pipe coming in on tuesday

Guess this does not apply to the situation here, but all JAPANESE cars have speed-limiters set to 180kph. Even the frigging cruise control has to oby that speed limiter. Just a thought....

On a side note, I can hit 240kph in 5th, but that was before My new and improved TII should be able to go over 260 real kph easily
