Please post the top speed of you single turbo RX-7

 

no.

 

I hit 170 when i was on the twins running 12 psi. I havent gone past 150 since i went single turbo. I get there way too fast, lol.

 

i did 165 the second day i got the car.... with the stock twins... im single now but im not going to try to break my record!

i did a lot of stupid things then!

In this sense, power is power. 350 hp from a single, and 350 hp from twins will not make your car reach a higher top speed as you are limited by the gears/***** you have.

Vague statement on my part, but you know where I am coming from with this~

 

I would guess that most single FDs would run all the way to the top of redline in 5th. I'm not sure of the HP required to pull it up there and I really wouldn't want to find out. I think gearing runs out at 189 if you have the stock 4.1 rear end thats in all manuals trans cars.

 

sorry for the 3 posts... the fourm was lagging....

 

265km/h bone stock, twins....and I could have taken it up for 10km/h

 

I never went as fast with the single

but just like fastcarfreak I was scared how fast mine would finish out 4th gear and would stop there because it seemed like it would keep going

 

I get what you are saying. When it struggles to get up there, you can kind of predict the ending point and actually know the limit. But once you are where you were before, struggling, only this time it pases that spot and wants to keep on going, is kinda scary... I get fukin adrenaline rushes, that I have to pull the car over and just sit. I topped out my fc speedo at 150 and kept on a litlle more and called quits...

 

I did only 155 mph on stock twins with mine (secondary turbo was only working half *** cause of a vac leak) - but yeah. Can't wait to see what the single will bring!

Did 204mph in a friends Porche 911TT running around 690hp or some ****. That was ******* scary.

 

yea I just knew it would keep going and my drag radials werent meant to be for topspeed. I had over double the stock rwhp of a fd and those do 155-160 so who knows

with the twins I also let off but for different reasons the main one being because it was taking too long

 

the fastest I've gone on stock turbos is 140mph. Hopefully I'll break that record soon.

 

I went 145 with the stock dying twins. When I get my GT42R finished I might find out..........

 

I did 165 a while back with my twins and yesterday I hit 120 with the single and that actually scared me a little bit haha...I think my high speed days may be over. Holding 120 I was at about 30% throttle on my avcr so I'm pretty confident the car could top out 5th gear with a US tranny. My 5th tops out at 170 or so.

 

I hit 168 years ago with the twins as well.. havent tried yet with the single since I have 150 more hp and it gets scary staying on it for to long at those speeds.. Plus these cars are so light im a little worried the car will just lose it..

I think the speedo gets a lot less accurate anything over 100mph..

 

I hit 170 when I got my car last march. I reached that speed a few more times running non-sequential just a bit easier to get there. After the single was on I hit 180 without a problem I just forgot to put hold on my pfc to convert it :/ so I don't know how fast I went.

 

165 here. I have more; it's not easy to get the proper conditions for a higher run where I'm at.

 

yup so just look at the rpms you're at in 5th and that's very accurate when matched with the gear ratio

 

what road where most of you guys on when doing these kinda of speeds? highway or just back woods 2 lane where no cops are..?

 

i second that... i hit 170 with the twins, but havent gone over 150 with the single... it just gets up their so quick now and my front tires are bald...

 

186... on I-8 from phoenix az, to san diego , ca, on my way to hot import nights a couple years ago. A little bit of advice to anyone thinking about going that fast...LEARN TO TUNE OUT THE GIRLFRIENDS SCREAMS, AND EXPECT YOUR LEG TO GO NUMB FROM HER KUNG-FOO GRIP!!! Needless to say i will never try that again!!!!

 

Ohh by the way, t-66, large street port, all the normal upgrades, stock gearing.
