i dunno at 5500. at 6800 its like 67 mph
shit i think theres something wrong with my motor then damn it
well b4 when my timing was fucked up, i could go 50mph at 5500RPM, but ever since i fixed it, i can go but to 60-65 mph at 6000-6200 RPM:thumbup:
well the thing is my timing belt snapped on me while driving and it felt the same after i replaced it but do u think the belt snapping fucked something up in my engine like a bent vavle or something like that :confused:
not sure cause a mechanic did it for me but ima check it out this week and see wats goin on because i know i can go more then freakin 40
well that's ur first problem, you paid someone do for you. i used to do that until my old mechanic fucked up the wiring in my old 89 toyota cressida and cause it to catch on fire:chainsaw: since then, i have done every thing myself and i have not did a single major error:thumbup:
but yea he did it for free because i helped him out so yea but yea ima try and fix or take a look at it
yeah get the timming right...my top speed is like 50mph because i have integera gears in my trans
yea thanks and also i know this makes a difference but i have 175/70R13 and stock tires are 185/70r13 right and as im driving normally im 5 miles off so that would make a difference as well right
yeah your speedo will be off
well guys i just checked my timing and its fine but just to make sure is the flywheel mark supposed to be on the little cross or plus symbol or is it supposed to be on the 15 mark
Off by 5 miles? Thats quite a bit for such a small tire size difference.
And timing is suppose to be on the T.
sounds like a problem.
yea i was driving next to this one newer civic with a digi dash and looked at its speed and mine as well and saw mine was lower by 5 and i guess theres notin wrong with my timing so wat u guys think could make me hit the 55 or 60 mile mark in second gear but no upgrades cause im flat broke right now and do u guys think its worth it to port out an intake manifold for about 30 bucks
thats a good price
and power wise?
a few horsies i'd bet, definitely a smoother powerband.
i'm getting ready to put a LS manifold on mine, to get rid of the secondary butterflies. plus i get a slightly bigger throttle body.
^^ wut throttle body? I was looking to use a legond, or a vigor's tb....
I just don't see how your RPM's can be up so high but speed be so low.
