what model b18? what tranny? what size tires? wind? etc....

point being, there are too many variables to give a solid number

Honda and top speed??

Those two words dont go together if you're looking for a long distance top speed run.

Going top speed on public streets will get you or some innocent bystander killed.

Edit: I wouldnt recomend it in a 2000lb car though ..

Just listening to the windnoise on these things should tell you 150 is a big no no. I got my 96 Integra LS (B18B, manual) up to 120 on a gradual downhill. Took a bit of distance.

Over in the UK we do top speed runs as part of our RWUB meets.

Its done from a standing start to 1.25 miles at which your speed is taken.

Click me Thats me doing a top speed run with a b16 inc a few bolt-ons + a 35hp shot of nitrous. Thats 8400rpm in 5th with a Y1 JDM tranny

My new project CRX it geared for 180mph

My clutch wont hold on a top speed run. Soon as the needle hits around 138 you smell clutch like you smell my *** after taco bell. I have a private road I can use so its all good.

haha b16's are nothing compared to a DOHC ZC!! i have a 88 crx si with same year ZC motor and matching tranny. i have done 140 with only i/h/e and still 1500 rpms to go in fifth but it stopped pulling hard and i wasted like 50 miles worth of gas in that like 45 second period. anyway, handling was good with my 16x7 inch rims and i was switching lanes and all that nonsense and it was stable enough. we had the sunroof and windows down and it was just a great day all around. that was the first time i ever gone that fast and i wanted to test out the limits of my car
