Top speed runs?

[Holy^ghost]

Hey i would like to know what some of you other 2nd gen guys speed runs are like. I've only got my car to push 170KPH on the highway. and i would like to compare it to other peoples runs

[MessyHonda]

my friend had a 85 se-i and he got it up to 115 mph. very solid car for its age.

[Holy^ghost]

umm 170KPH is about 107MPH. and thats good. cause my car has a busted carb. so with the weber i bet i could beat that seI

[Cheeseburger]

lol...@ old cars going fast

[MessyHonda]

lol...@ old cars going fast

wuts soo funny? look at the ferraries.....even a 60s car and put a spanking on our a20s

those cars are ment to go fast our cars are not:welcome:

[ZackieDarko]

thats impressive for a 2nd gen

my 86 hatch has hit and sustained 120mph several times

[MessyHonda]

well for stock i hit 120 when i first got it....the part that sucked was that you can see the gas needle go down...lol

[Holy^ghost]

well being that my engine has 88HP stock. well with the carb I have in it now maybe 45HP it can do 107. with a new weber in there I might be able to pull 125 or 130.

yup also your gas mileage will go down....lol

[Holy^ghost]

im expecting that

[Tomisimo]

160 km/h so far. didnt have much room to axelerate more.

[denhonda]

In my 85 1.8 Auto, in the late '90's when it was last on the road it manged 110-115 mph IIRC.

[2ndGenGuy]

My 84 does about 105-107mph on a long flat stretch in 5th gear. That was all stock. Does about the same with the Weber on stock jetting.

I can wind it up to 110 in 4th gear, but I don't like cruising at 4500rpm. It will cruise at 105 just fine in 5th without the motor screaming.

[Holy^ghost]

I found out the hard way that the weber don't fit on my A16A1 engine. so i had to order one from the dealer who has to import one from japan. plus my accelerator diaphragm is messed so i needed to get one as well. I hate having a rare engine.

put in an a20 then run a webber....you can find them cheap at the junkyard.

[2ndGenGuy]

Yeah I hate to say it, but you've probably got the rarest Accord engine. So you wound up ordering the Weber and trying it out?

If you've still got the Weber, just fab up an adapter plate out of paper and go to your local shop. They'd probably make you one for less than $50. Just trace out a square plate that you can bolt to the manifold. Then place the Weber on the square you made and trace out the holes in the carb and an elongated hole around the throttle bodies and you're set. Hell, I'll come up there and help you make one... I guess assuming you've still got the Weber. If you sent it back already, the factory one will work just fine.

[2oodoor]

He is in C a n d a d a d a , do they have junkyards? :huh:

That does sound rare, and I wonder why the A20 weber adadtpers wont work, why would they do that to us.

My 86 did 100 before I did mods, going downhill on interstate, I Have not tryed it since.
Our cars ARE made to go fast Cheeseburger, why would they put 130 on teh speedometer, why why why

[Jspec1]

Well back when I had my 86 DX I got it up to about 120MPH. Kinda scary though in that car.. As for my current car I've reached 180 KM/h. I know it's kinda slow, but my speedo only goes to 180. It can go faster though. My RPM's were only at about 4500 or 5k.

[Rockcord]

84 Lx stock everything 110 MPH
03 EX Accord, all stock, 126 MPH ;-D

[Holy^ghost]

Yes i have the rarest accord engine ever. BTW i sent back that weber and ordered a 3 barrel carb from the dealer. the only after market carb for the engine I have. ohh and does the a20 have the same mounts as the A16A1 and yes canada has junk yards. could I put a fuel injected A20A1 into my car or would i have to change the tank aswell.

[ZackieDarko]

A20A1 is carbed A20A3/4 are FI

[2ndGenGuy]

I don't know if your mounts will work or not, but I would assume your mounts would bolt right up to the A20 engine. The ES2 mounts bolt up to the A20 engine.

You don't need a new tank, what you need is to run a return fuel line, replace all your old lines with high pressure fuel injected lines, and get an 85 SE-i fuel pump or any other fuel-injection pump.

The whole A20 process has been done by PhydeauX. He's the man. He did the Dual-Weber route though. So you'll have to combine the A20 swap info, with some of the carb to fuel injection how-tos here. But as far as swaps go, it should be straightforward. I believe your transmission will bolt right up to an A20 as well, so no messing with axles and splines if you don't want to.

If the A16 mounts won't work for some reason, I'm sure we could get you the ES2 mounts, and those would work in your car just fine.

Everything I know about this stuff though is just from reading on this site and a tiny bit of external research. So take anything I say lightly, and double check me. PhydeauX knows for sure, as he's actually done the A20 swap.

[Holy^ghost]

that will be of great help when i gain accsess to my schools autoshop next semester. and ill send pics of my enigne. but i dont know how much different looking it is from the 1.8 I can't find pics of the ES2 engine. can one fo you guys give me a link to a website or take pics of your engine so i can compare the differences

VERY WELL SAID
and btw holy^ghost I was kidding with messyhonda about the canadian junk yards. :welcome:
my car im sure will go faster than 100, I really have not tryed except for on the commute to work and there is too much construction going on, and yes is it kinda scary in a 20 year old car:)

Here is a picture of the US ES2 engine. It's actually a picture of Offthahook's car. Its too damn clean looking to be anybody else's :)

[irondragon013]

yes is it kinda scary in a 20 year old car:)


But fun especially on the original motor:rockon:

I have gone 95 in my LX-i (A20A3) but there is no room to run in this part of GA.

P.S. that engine is clean!!!

[MessyHonda]

i got pulled over doing 95 on my stock car...^^^^idk wut the top speed is now.

[gfrg88]

about 140-5ish :dunno: the speedo was pointing straight down, and the tack was at 6k rpms...never doing it again...

[Holy^ghost]

hmm damn ill clean my motor up and show off my rare ass A16A and show you all up. plus ill do a vid of my top speed. once that damn friggan carb rebuild and accel pump come in. i bet ill be able to push my cars speedo to the floor

Underneath the wiper motor. Same location on the firewall as your car. You just can't see it in that pic.

Ok Im spoiled, my wiper motor is not so huge and I have n o t h i n g under the hood since weber conversion. How can you Identify the ES2 by glancing, the valve cover being aluminum and a carb???
I see the oil cap is different. Did offthehook change valve cover?

Nope he's got the stock valve cover. I'm not sure how you'd identify the ES2 engine itself. I know there's the ES2 identification on the engine somewhere, plus theres the engine code up on the header panel above the hood... I think he's got the same wiper motor as you, just a funny angle you're not used to.

[Drucifer]

Y'know, I don't know how fast my 82 will go. I do remember that on I5, the speedo stopped at 85Mph, but, the tach kept going up. So, I was going significantly faster than 85Mph. I was in fifth gear and the tach read 5k ish.

i like that interstate...i was cruising like 95-100 in my dx for couple of mins... but you can feel the drag on the car at that speeds.

[bigman652]

i can hit 30 in turns
but the top mph i got it up too is 110

[2ndGenGuy]

I hate I-5. It's the most boring, traffic laden highway in the world. I've driven the whole thing in my Accord too. From the Canadian border, to San Diego. I guess I haven't taken it to the Mexican border... Yet.

Though I suppose there's that stretch coming south into Los Angeles where you're coming down that huge ass pass. I pegged the speedo down that. Funny thing is, there were still people passing me.

[drago742]

yesterday me on my cuz was on iur way to go to my step dad house and we wanted to see how fast we can get the car to go since its been runnin right and we got it up to 121 that shit was funn I'm goin post a pic latter 2 night

lol i knoe

[MessyHonda]

lol i knoe


ok good..just wanted to make that clear. its just more stable fuel...for high compression cars....our cars dont need that unless you get high compression pistons or shave the head a bit...but still no need for it.

[Ichiban]

i've had my accord up to about 165 km/h, while driving through either manitoba, saskatchewan, or some other third world prairie province. Average speed on the flat straights was about 140 km/h, at 4200 RPM.

[bobina]

my car top speed is 180kph.
:)

[Projekt82]

:uh: How do you guys go that fast when the speedo stops at 85mph?

[2ndGenGuy]

The 2.5g goes to 125 on the speedo.

[MessyHonda]

130mph over here...lol

[tuxdreamerx]

130mph tack here. I think I have had mine up to 95 but the engine was also running horribly im doing a engine rebuild now so we shall see!

[Holy^ghost]

not 180 MPH people 180KPH or 125mph. and ive had mine up and past that. due to my new carb. it was bottemed out the needle was pointing at the floor

how dare you call saskatchewan third world lol

the fastest i've gotten up to is 130 KM/h becasue i think my O/D is screwed

[peewee71188]

my cars is 3rd gen. but its carbed and i have got it up to 12omph a few times, but i am done driving like a dumb ass for a while. i got pulled over for going twenty over in a double fines area two nights ago. thats the third pull over i have got in my car and its also the third warning. i dont know how i get off the hook everytime.

[Holy^ghost]

because you have big boobs. hmm maybe the 1.6 has a little more power then the 1.8 due to it not having any form of emmisions crap.
