Just intrested in getting a 97-01 yr Prelude. Im wondering whats the top speed because I heard they cut out early. any info will be appreciated! thanks.

 

searching would have helped and took alot less effort but ive taken mine above 150mph, so if you consider that early then yes it dose cut off early, but it had more to give.

 

actually I did search for a while and some guy said that his stoped at 118mph because of the governer. but thanks

Japanese Domestic Market engines had speed governors, not the USDM. If your car is in top shape, you can max out your speedo which will be an indicated 150mph. The % error is a little high at those speeds so you wouldn't really be doing 150 mph.

And please tell me you're trying to find your max speed on some road in the CA/NV desert at 2 am and not on any convenient, nearby interstate

Screw that, try it down the back lane y0!

 

I have gone 135mph before I chickened out on the highway, but I could have easily kept going.

 

top speed is ~145-150

if your gonna do it, dont do it with ANYONE around

 

thanks for all the input.

 

I could hit 130 in my h23a With about 800~ rpms left.... this was tested at 3am on a small highway (Highway 780 that connects Benicia to vallejo) and absolutely empty. Please save everyones time, if u plan on doing those speeds with people around.... shoot yourself

 

and if you are going to go that fast, for you own sake, don't do it unless you know your car can handle it, tire pressure, alignment etc. 'cause if you go sketchy, you'll probably lose control and crash

Not to jack the thread but will hondata on a JDM ecu remove the top speed governer ?

Heres a vid of a stock lude.

indicated 132 flat out, had nothing left to give after that , got a 97 vtec.

 

I would would like to see a stock prelude do 150 mph

 

whoa now rev limit in 5th gear past 150 mark
i mean it took a while for it to come back to 150
rev limit 8200

 

there's no way that my prelude would do what that prelude did in that video, so either its not stock or (and i think quite possible) my prelude has got a problem

 

if your familiar w/ 695 in maryland there is a sligh drop strait away for about 3 miles near towson and thats where i accomplished the speed around 5am with NO ONE else on the road. Im willing to take dumb risk, but I would never put anyone elses life in my hands

 

btw i have a 95jdm h22 with camshafts, i/h/high flow/e, and hondata s200 w/ a fresh alingment and droped w/ eibach springs in my 99 base lude

 

what ecu are you running? whta motor h22a4?

 

what did you get up 2 stock?
