Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission
Ok, so here's the deal, I've got this guy I know that says he got his civic coupe 180mph with a stock D16Z6. Now, I know this is bull, but I am kind of curious now. Two things: If you topped out a D16Z6 tranny in 5th, how fast would you be going and; which tranny of all the D series will get you going the fastest and how fast? (assuming you have the power to top it out).

Re: Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission (HaulingAddison)
first of all 180 with just about any stock honda is impossible. but to answer your question i do believe that the dx tranny has the longest gears in it i dont know how fast it will top out at but im pretty sure that has the longest gears. i know that the ex/si gears are the shortest of d series trans

Re: Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission (HaulingAddison)
I don't think there is a supposed "top speed" to a transmission, but there is a top RPM to a d16z6.
So say 9,500 rpms in 5th gear = top speed.
His claim of 180 "sounds" about 20 mph beyond capability. I'd say 160 max, more like 140.
My question for him would be: What speedometer did he use to measure it?
My speedo goes to 120, and a type-r speedo goes to what? 140?

Re: Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission (goefyourself)
yeah.... im thinking he is looking at km/h, or trying to fool you
look at this cluster:

So 180 km/h is about 112 mph. Which is easy. My EX has gone that fast without trying too hard.

Re: Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission (koa)
Thats an interesting calculator,
http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/gears/
If that is correct my EX trans should top out in 5th at 192 mph, and the DX should go to 202 mph.
Need something more than a stock engine to get there though.
I don't know... it is "possible", but you would need some kind of huge straight stretch going downhill for miles, :-)
My money is still on a km/h miscommunication.

Re: Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission (HaulingAddison)
well i know that I have wrapped my speedometer around to the M on the mph in 4th gear with an si tranny and i know my 94 coupe read 130 on the speedo.. so 180 actually would sound acurate.

This is the 'gear calc' I use: http://www.autocrossing.com/cgi-bin/gearcalc.cgi
It's pretty accurate!
For instance, when I punch in the numbers for my B16A2 Si swap/ S4C tranny / HX wheels - it comes out to 153 mph (which is very close to reality)...

Yep... in a perfect world!
I just ran a HX with stock gearing and stock tires through the gear calc (I linked to above) and it came out to a THEORETICAL 181.9 mph @ 6800 rpm.
Sooo... the gearing IS there - at least for a HX, even though there's no chance of doing it with 106 whp!

Re: Top speed of a D16Z6 Transmission (HaulingAddison)
Ya, I figured all that. The guys an idiot that told me he did 180mph. I was mostly curious about how fast you could go if you were toped out in 5th with different transmissions. He says he's running a stock motor too. Hahaha. Thanks for all the info guys. I'll have more info to call his bs with.
By the way, that calculator is pretty cool.

0 rpm...the damn thing shouldn't ever hit the track if its a stock D16z6. You will want to park it in the driveway and save yourself the embarrassment.

Re: (1992Si)
Lol, i thought he was saying that a guy said that a Ex tranny would top out at 180, I misread that he said the guy told him he did 180, that guy is an idiot....

Re: (Mike_C)
Yeah I know I did 150 with my single cam zc vtec, but it was struggling with that, and it's a little stronger than a z6, that guy could've came up with a better lie lol..

The automatics do. D15B7 anyway at 120MPH. I've never noticed that the 5 speeds do.
