My Civic did. Kicked in at 120 or so.

 

Im not sure if they have governers. But ALL cars that i know of have rev limiters.... but i dont know what it goes up to on the rsx

 

To my knowledge, I've never known anyone with an integra/rsx with a governor. However with civics, I think it depends on what model/tranny you got or maybe some people are just lucky. my 01 civic lx sedan (auto) governed at 118 but my friends' 01 civic ex coupe (5spd) did everything on the speedometer.

 

there is no speed governer on the rsx. The topspeed on the rsx is drag limited meaning once the rsx reaches a certain speed, the aerodynamics of the car prevents it from going any faster.

I second that,

From first hand experience. Hes on the money.

 

As i recall, automatic tranny's have speed governers while manual cars tend to be drag limited or limited by redline. ive taken my car to 110 and i was at 5500rpm, so i dont think i could do more than 120 because of fuel cutoff.

 

don't know about the RSX
BUT i have done 120 in my dads 95 DX auto civic- stock that took a while hahahah
and i have done 120 in my 01 EX coupe 5 speed- took some time too
i doubt theres a limiter

 

to my knowledge, no acura or honda has a govenor on it...only domesticlly made cars have these

 

they do have rev limiters though....

 

uhm certain years and models have a speed governor on them like for instance my 2003 Acura RSX-S has one and i'm looking to remove it. Usually it will kick in around 100 mph

 

I had a technician at honda tell me that its at 149, but i personally have takin my type s to 155. Took a long time to reach that speed. So, there is probably not a governor on the type s. (have owned my type s for almost 7yrs)

 

my friend's stock type s could go up to 145 til he reaches the rev limiter, i top my ep3 to 135 up to rev limiter i think

 

i know the stock tranny in six gear with the help of turbo and k-pro will see over 170 mph.. Don't ask me how i know

 

K-Pro eliminates any restrictions from manufactures for speed limits if there is one...

Seems like most sports models in the Honda line up are all drag limited only!

 

Not sure, I hit 134 in my '05 Type-S.

 

I have an 04 CL9 (tsx) I've done about 140mph then I slowed down by choice since I live in traffic city (LA) Cali my car is stock I only have suspension off course

 

If u add intake, headers, bigger piping and exhaust it allows to go faster because there is more air flow but the ecu has no actual limiter or at least I haven't encountered any with any cars before and I've owned 97 accord, 95, 97 integra and 04 tsx

 

My element stops around 115-118 and the speed-o goes to 125 its governed because once it hits it, it slows down

 

My 2000 Civic Cx has a speed limiter @ 120mph. It is not true that all Hondas do not have them.

 

had mine to 135 no kick in

 

138 in a 2000 Si. Haven't topped out the rsx yet but I've hit 120 (03 type s)
