Hey, im pretty new here and about a month ago i bought my first civic, a 1997 CX Hatchback with a jdm B16a and a y21 transmission. What should the top speed of my car be, when on the track i can get up to 150-160km/h in 4th gear before i have to shift into 5th. But once i do shift into 5th gear the car doesnt accelerate past 160km/h (99mph) at all. Is there something wrong with the car or is the top speed just gear limited and my 5th is very short?

 

i had a b16a6 ys1 trans on a lsvtec bloock, tops out at around 125mph, pretty sure nothing more than 130

*b16a1 sorry

 

Is it hitting a Governor or just runs outta steam. My b16a with a 99si trans topped out at 132mph after like 1.5 miles

 

It seems like it just runs outta steam in 5th at 5krpm, it wont hit vtec in 5th gear

Update: I was having oil leaks from the distributor and oil pan, as well as the transmission shift seal. After getting the car back from the garage i took it out for a rip and think the problem is resolved

 

The leaks were causing a loss in power?
