B16a/y21 Top Speed
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?
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
