Fastest I could get a stock D16A6 on a PM6 was 122 or so (rev limiter in 5th). It felt like the car was going to blow up.

I never pushed my car over 200kph when I had my SOHC ZC runned by a PM6. But it probably could of gone a little further. IIRC it was at 6000rpm in 5th at that speed.

It should go higher. If I remember right the stock gearing hits rev limiter at 138.

I've had my car past 120 once like 5 years ago. It scared me and I havn't done it since. Ah, being young and stupid.

There is no speed limiter though on a PM6 that I know of.

I took my 88 crx with a sohc zc and a dx tranny running a pm6 ecu to 115mph one time and i think it was at about 5000-5500 rpms. I was actually quite suprised at how stable the car was at those speeds

This is about true.

Try getting a stock motor to hit rev limit in 5th. It aint gonna happen unless you are going downhill. Too much wind resistance. Ive tried, and it scared the **** out of me as well.

Did I say rev limit? I meant redline. And I could be wrong. IIRC the stock speedo on an Si only goes to 120, right?

My tranny was also sitting at 250K original miles at this point as well.

I was at 125 or so at 6k......so....I guess it could have gone faster, if a hill were provided...fresh motor too.....

Who knows how accurate the tach and speedo are up there as well.....
