i would try, but I barely have any miles on her.

 

best thing to do is break it in and try. that way you know when you are redlining. because knowing and doing are 2 different things.

 

that stock acura body kit is the ill joint, im not sure but ive been up to about 120 in 5th, never touched 6th.. that was before all this dam snow

 

5th is the top speed gear. 6th is too tall to keep accelerating at 145 MPH

 

I thought the 05's were limited to 139 and the 04's were 145? Just because of the gearing?

 

I tested mine and it went to 140mph at 8500 rpms

 

the 05's have a higher final drive. that's what accounts for the lower top speed.

Ive hit 150 in 6th at 6200 rpms and had plenty of room to go and she was still pulling, but i let off after.

what is done to your car? unless you are running boost, you aren't going to be able to accelerate in 6th gear...shifting from top speed in 5th to 6th will cause you to slow down

as an 02 owner, my car can hit 148 in 5th and now that i'm turboed, it will hit 178 in 6th...whether or not i'm stupid enough to ever try this, i don't know

I've hit 155 and was in 6th and still had room to go too.

 

WOW!, it's getting deep in here!!!

I've only done it once and it was going fast.

modifications? year?

the stock gearing mated with stock power on a type s doesn't allowe further acceleration in 6th on a flat surface...if you top out 5th and shift to 6th, you will lose speed...there are lots of vids on this and i tried it myself a long long time ago

 

the fastest i went on my 03 type-s is 120 on 5th gear. The car to me seemed unstable, but the road i was on was ****.

 

02 rsx Type s. at the time I had a injen short ram and Type R catback exhuast. I got the 1st rsx s off the lot so maybe the ecus are programmed differently. because I think mine is a A1. They have alot of revisions on the ECU. But now I have a Mugen airbox and ITR header and exhuast. I know I can hit it now for sure and maybe 160 mph

 

also notice that the 6th gear on a DC5 is not far away from 5th. if the gearing dropped the rpm really low I would understand that it will not hit that high of a speed. but looking at the gears it sounds right to me. Another thing is I was on stock wheels so the mph was acurate.

 

Not tryin to get off topic or anything but i got a EP3 with a six speed tranny from a DC5 and in 5th gear i hit 120 but never got a chance to shift to 6 cause of other cars. I only did it once and havent gotten a chance to get back on it yet.

 

azn umm what u mean A1? all our ECU's are PRB's..what A1? there was diff revisions of the ECU but it comes down to that in 6th gear, there's not enuf power to keep you accelerating. top speed is achieved in 5th gear unless you're really boosted.

syr azn but i call BS on this.

 

05 type s in stock form replies only please.

example:
1st - 45
2nd - 60
3rd - 85
4th - 100
5th - 130
6th - 180

I doubt that.

I have to agree with DC5 sleeper I hit 145 in sixth gear, still pulling... just had to let off, my exit was coming up. Also, I dont have any modifications other than poly motor mount insterts and a stage 1 clutch.

 

i was using that as an example
