Probably around 140. Why....? Lord, are we gonna have another wrecked FC... ?

 

i think its about 180mph

and yes, so ad it to the list along with mine

 

mine hit 150.

i let off after that. its scary.

 

Didn't notice the mods you have on it. Wild guess, I'd go with 155. Why are you wanting to know....?

 

For comparison, top speed in a stock FD is around 160+. At this speed you are power limited and nowhere near redline in 5th. I would imagine that the top speed of a stock TII would probably be around 140 for the same reasons.

You can hit top speed in 4th can't you?

 

I once had a TII that went 350 knots, of course it was in the cargo bay of a C-130 at the time. An ANG buddy of mine transported it cross country for me to get an engine rebuild. He had to log the flying hours anyway and transporting something was good training for the loadmaster. Does this count?

 

Ya I would say right around 160. The FD is not really any greater than a slightly modded FC. I would say RB turbo back exhaust would get you pretty close to a FD in HP alone.

 

My N/A did 230!!



kilometers an hour

 

The car felt really good at 8000rpms in 5th gear. The car I passed thinks he was going 250km. It just did not feel like 160mph. and the clutch was not slipping. If anyone wants to see the down sized 9mb video PM me.
Mods, "large street port", T66, four 1000cc injectors, spraying water. Blew a manifold to turbo gasket so boost was down to 1.3bar.

 

I did 221kms/hr (136MPH) with 4 people in my 929, it was smooth crusin at that speed in 5th @ 5400RPM (redline is 6300RPM), ran out road... I think 250 would be achievible by myself...

 

well if it could get up to 8000 rpm then you would be going this fast

 

what exactly is that ?

my cut off is 6500RPM

 

sorry for interrupting this thread but driftmeister how in the world do you have a 530i V8? did you put in a 540s or even an old 535s V8? and would that be a 1991 525td? not 524?

oh now back to the thread, i've hit 215 km/h on my TII but it was on the highway so you wouldn't want to go any faster or even that fast unless you're on a circuit or closed road.

 

the fastest I've ever gone in my N/A turbo was 147mph in 4th at around 5500rpm on the Nj Turnpike. The only reason I slowed down is because it felt like I was gonna warp through the matrix or somethin.

 

my n/a topped out at 148 last summer and all i had done was the cats were taken out, replaced with 2.5 inch to the y pipe, 2.25 from there to mufflers, intake, 5/6 ports wired open, and thats about it

 

lucky for you Mazda put in very optimistic speedometers
never seen a stock NA going over the 200 Km/H limit

 

225km/h (not maxed)with my TII vert, gets kinda windy with the top down

 

ha! what are your wheel dimentions and at what rpm were you at. no facking way a n/a 7 went 148 w/ no cats and 5/6 ports open.

 

Oh please...my friends '86 GXL did 200kph in only a klick and a half and wanted to keep going. it probably could have gone 240 if there was more road

 

I have a s5 with full exhaust and got it up to 155mph. I have to slow down due to traffic but it was still climbing.

 

well from the book it states
turbo=176mph
N/A= 191mph
that does not mean the car can do it that just means that the gears limit you to this
now to do this speed you will need a whole lot of power but it is what the book says

 

i've gone 240 km/h 150 mph

 

I've gone somewhere between 135 and 140... so i guess 137mph in my stock TII. The only reason I let off was because I have a bad tranny mount and thought the tranny was gonna drop out from under me. Plus the vibration was really starting make my nuts go numb
