Im gonna get a b16a1 in my 88 hf crx and i was wondering what will it top out at...some people said it depends and yadda yadda, but on average what is the top speed of a b16????? thnx

 

112

 

my friends b16 rex with a mugen chip tops out at 140 not that you meed to go that fast

 

112? dont tell me ure serious...what does a jdm b16a really top out at dont scare me

 

yeah...the stock JDM computer is mapped to limit MPH to 112 or 114...i forget. but i'm dead serious.

 

True, it tops out at 112. Question: How often do you reach 112 when running at the track or autocrossing? Answer: Unless you have a 10-11 second car, never.

If you're planning on running a b16 road racing car, removing the speed limiter would probably be a good idea.

I've run into the speed limiter once, on an empty freeway at night. Other than that one time, it doesn't even enter into my thoughts.

I clip that quite often on the highway. I guess when you don't have to down shift out of fifth and vtec hits it's hard to back away. Pulls like a son-a-bitch untill the limiter stops the fun.

 

I've yet to hit mine. But then again I drive pretty slow on the road. I save that for when I race.

 

LOL. It's scary the first time you hit that thing... On my way to the Dyno Day a few months back, and hit it on I-4. I though the B16 had enough of my Tom Foolery, and decided to blow on me... I've only hit it once since then though.

My B16a top out at about 115, which really sucks can't catch **** on the highway

 

even if i didnt have the limiter...the damn tranny wouldnt let me go much faster.....damn s1...around 7k @100 mph

 

i got an 88 crx si with a b16a1 and a stock pr3 ecu. i topped out at 127mph@7600 rpm. getting it chipped now for fuel and timing. heart was pounding at that speed though in that small of a car. i hit 93 mph @ 13.88 at track for my best time so far this year with engine.

 

sure it was a STOCK pr3 ECU? With no other piggybacks?

 

only my speed limiter is missing rev limiter hits at 7800 rpm.

 

I hit 127+ on a roadtrip (ys1 trans) and still had 2500 or so rpms still left to play with.

 

i run into this problem (speedlimiter) every singleday maybe at least 3- or 4 times,
we have a brand new tollway, 4 lanes wide each direction, as soon as i leave the toll booth i rip through the gears and right at the top of 4th i look at the speedometer and realize whats about to happen then i let off.

but its good that the limiter is there because thats about what my tires are rated for and i dont need to have a blowout at plus triple digit speeds.
