everyday on my way back from work I take a back road that is like a 2 miles long.. there is no one there because the warehouses are all close at that time... so I was coming on my eg and I wanted to see what the top speed was and it pick up 115 quick after that it took like 30 secs to to reach 120mph i was expecting much more from my b20 vtec with a lsd transmission... what do you guys think...

 

its normal

 

You shouldn't do that on the streets.....
Mine will pull from 90-130 fairly consistantly. After 130 it hardly accelerates(just over 135 is my record). I would have to have a really really long strip to get any higher than that. but I'm also N/A.

 

oh my friend had a b16 and he will pick way higher speeds... so thats why i was thinking My **** sucked hahaha...

 

you were actually probobly only doing like 100.... lol honda speedos suck

 

Since when?

 

Sounds normal.

 

go ahead, do 120 according to your speedo and have someone with a high end radar gun shoot you.... then tell us what it says lol....

 

call the local PD, they will hit you with the radar at 120 no problem

 

And where do you do it? Oh, that's right, the street.


Oh, and get a turbo. My single cam can get up to 130 pretty quickly compared to some of my friends who are N/A b and h series.

 

lol no doubt.

 

sounds pretty normal to me,

 

what?

 

^^^Thank God someone caught that...poor engrish for the loss

 

It's true, as verified by my gps and realtime scanguage. The speedos are pretty close to correct below 40mph and then get progressively low. At a speedo indicated 70mph, my scanguage and gps both say 66, on my Civic, CRV, and old Accord. Same readings before and after I swapped from a y8 to a gsr, so this should effect Integras too.

At an indicated 80, the gps and scanguage say 75. At 90, they say 83.

Truefax. When I discovered that, I stopped wondering why I've never gotten speeding tickets since I got a Honda.

Anyway, OP, I think that's probably normal. Hondas just don't top out very high unless you're running a lot more HP than a stock B20V.

 

Yup sounds kinda normal...

 

nah I had my GPS speedometer the honda one was marking 125 and the gps was marking 120mph

 

LOL nice quote H23DelSol....
