I maxed my 89 Lxi at 100mph and it wouldnt go any higher than that with my foot to the ground. Then on the way back down the road it wouldnt go past 90mph. I saw some post about 89's reaching nearly 130mph, and was wondering if that is only possible with hp mods. Or is it my engine /w 106000mi. Im driving an automatic, and it only got to like 5500-6000 rpm before it stopped accelerating. It was fun tho:D .

top speed used to be 105... but now after i put on my headers, i passed that easily, so i'm not sure what the top end is now :)

I had mine up to 115 and she still had more to go, I know that I could've brought her past 125:D ..... But the thing was I lost my edge and slowed down to 80, and then some ass hole started to tailgate me, so I sped up to 95.... Damn those lights were bright in my mirror, but the blue lights were even brighter as the prick pulled me over :huh: :eek: :huh: ...... He clocked me at 95, he was driving a nasty ass camaro all beefed up, gotta watch for the state troopers he did not have a radar and the porker tailgated me to make me go faster.. prick..:flip: :flipa:

150KM/h but I ran out of road.....

Well let's see, I think 150 km/h is roughly 95 m/h

j00bacca, I had the same problem with my 89 lxi. I had trouble going over 105 m/h for the longest time. Then I installed an Accel ignition coil, regapped my plugs and now I'm hitting 112-115. Also try tightening your throttle cable if it feels loose. This will allow the car to reach WOT and maybe get you some extra umphhh.
BTW my car is also an automatic with over 190,000 miles on it. So if mine can do it, yours should have no problem...

Drive speedy, but drive safely y'all.
Later....

i also have an si accord and it looks like i will have the standard rev limit on the japanese cars. :<

It's all electronic, so theoretically i should be able to be bypassed?


According (no pun intended) to what I know, once the revs on the car reach 6500 the fuel pump is cut off. That means an electronic rev limiter of some description must detect it,

therefore you would have to disable the connection between the rev detector and fuel pump....

Then again, im only guessing alot, so I could be wrong.

old post, bringing it back, i like where it went.
sorry, had to :lol:

Ive had mine up to 105 (stock) so far. im sure i coul have gone further then and now with headers, intake, exhaust installed it should go much faster. Only thing is im afraid of it blowing up and killing me lol

Bone stock LXi topped out at 120. Of course, this was when I lived in Corpus Christi which is pretty much at sea level and with gas before all the 1990's reformulations began. There were lots of long, flat backroads down there. Around here there's too much traffic to be able to find out the top speed now that it's 15 years later.

You guys should post your tire sizes with the top speeds. By my experience, with stock size tires your speedo is most likely off by at least 10 mph at over 100 mph. Mine is spot on (at 60 mph) with slightly bigger than stock tires, if you have way bigger tires you'll get the reverse effect.

I doubt you have a speed governor, unless it's after market. If your engine is in less decent shape, all the 3" pipes in the world won't help. And if you're running a stock cat that exhaust isn't helping much. 3" is way too big anyway unless you got a highly built turbo engine. 2-2.5" would be more appropriate.

130mph at sea level with headlights up; bone stock 5-speed LX-i coupe.

2.25" is optimal; I'm pretty sure no 3g ever came with a governor, and no one in their right mind would install one on their own car (unless someone did it for their kid).

Your probably losing a good bit of power with piping that big. Stock headers?

11-07-2009, 02:12 PM
fastest ive ever dared to go was 200 km/h / 124.274238 mph, way more left in it but the roads bumpy my shocks are stiff and the road wasnt long enough with a B20A standard apart from pod filter and 260,000 odd kms

lol... my stock 88lxi did 125... shit was scary lol .... but yeah mine was not running to great ethier... old plugs,wires,dizzy, rotor 02 sensors everything was pretty much oreginal lol...

i bet that 3" piping is murduring your power... i would not go bigger then 2.5 on a 3g... and 2.25 is best...

Ive hit 115 well at least thats when i stopped looking at tha spedo in my 88lx ran out of road could have done 125-130 But at about 90 tha acceleration sucks. In my brothers camaro ive done 105 an hes topped it out at 110 cuz tha speed limiter. I havent really gone very fast its gay. Riding shotgun in my uncles 94 mustang we hit 150 on a 25mph road lmao i miss that car Gt converted to Saleen

103 mph-ish @ like 4000rpm (for some reason it won't go past that...)

Automatic, 13' inch tires, carb'd.. 240,xxx miles


This was accomplished by me speeding uphill, then gunning it downhill on a bridge..)

I dunno, I guess I'm slow


I'd try more but I'm scared cause my car vibrates and not one shop can figure out why <.<


Also my speedo is definitely off by atleast 3mph, and the needle fluctuates whenever..

mine went passed the 130mph mark i was running with a old honda 600 motorcycle and i was on his bumper and he said he was doing 145mph. Im on 17s new A20A3, new 5speed trans so i guess i ran it abt 140-145 no shakes all grunt i was shocked.

Sorry...but I highly doubt you were doing 145mph, and I highly doubt you were keeping up with a 600cc motorcycle unless you have some pretty extensive mods.

Back in the day, MA troopers had Mustangs with rear-shooting radar inside the back windows. They would troll in the left lane just over the speed limit, waiting for people to pull up behind them. Then, they'd run it up higher, and soon nail the victim for a Taxachusetts-size ticket. Pricks. And, they used to brag about it!

Almost all motorcycles have pretty optimistic speedometers. There's been articles written on why this is so, but it seems to be a practice followed by most of the manufacturers.

Your nice little car is no way going "140-145" mph. Nor should you want to in it.

Believe it i own a 2007 honda cbr600rr with a top speed i had it at was 178mph this 600 honda had problems and it wasnt new it wld only do abt a buck 150. We can run them whenever u want i dnt sugar coat anything. When my needle goes past the 130 mark toward the trip setting thats pretty fast.

As i Said before, your speedo showing 130+ mph does not mean that you're necessarily going that fast.

Is it me or does faydogg have a slight attitude problem?
I mean alot of these guys have worked with these cars for years, and 145mph is just insane in a 3g. Idk thats just me. Maybe he has a k20 or h22 swap :dunno: lol

Yeah, seriously. After about 130mph, the speedometer on any vehicle becomes so inaccurate. That why to do top speeds and such, they do measured timings and use radar.

dacantu
11-09-2009, 04:02 PM
I just came to a realization guys. This guy must have confused kmph for mph lol na just joking!.......... But seriously 145? he must be soooo off!

This guys seriousness really makes me want to believe him so I would like to see a legit video of someone taking video of their speedo in another car that is capable of doing 145 and seeing his car keeping up or seeing him pass them while they drive like 140.

Does that make sense? Lol

I will always wonder how fast I could have gone that morning I got to 130mph if I decided to stay on the freeway for a little while longer, or had the headlights down.

11-09-2009, 07:50 PM
I had my current 3g at 132mph on the speedo the day i bought it. just to make sure everything worked!
In my younger days when i was 17 I had my mothers 3g down hill and it went beyond the 145mph mark! that was scarey!

both are B20A and stock.

Mine only sounds like it's going to blow at 8k rpm would be nice to have a speedo that does over 145mph though so i can see how fast I'm going. Hmm mind you can always stick the Sat Nav in!! lol! Fastest I've got up to on race track is 125mph but the straight wasn't very long. Theres another track with a really long straight i reckon could hit 135-140mph on that.
