The gears seem really short in my CX but i assume final drive will take it to about 110or wherever the speed limiter is set.. anyone know where the speed limiter is set on a 93 CX ??

 

you'll be lucky to reach 90 in that beast of a stock cx.

 

I think the max is somewhere near 110-120mph....it's been so long since i had a cx motor......i use to make long routine trips and would beat the hell out of my cx motor and never changed the oil. started with about 79k mile at the end 165k miles. i couldn't kill that motor...it just wouldn't die!

 

LOL i think i hit 120 down hill once in my si hatch.

 

I usually cant even get mine over 100 on the interstate and thats going downhill, lol.

 

That would have to be one looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong straitaway

 

your cx gears are short? my friend had a stock 94 cx with the cx tranny and the gears were long as hell. his car hit 120 too.

 

the S20 i believe cx tranny has really long gears but i remember i didn't have a problem to top out my 4th gear around 95mph and the 5th but thats just scary hehe

 

I have hit 100 in my dx and I was still in 4th gear.

 

last time i tried my cx (rsr header and exhaust ) maxed out at 105 in 3rd, shifted to fourth and didnt gain anything, shifted to 5th and started to slow down.

CX gears are super freaking long, maybe u have a dx or si tranny on ur cx.

 

i could barely hit 99mph with my cx motor...and it took forever to do so.

 

Ditto.... I think I hit 105 once on the CX motor and that was pure luck and the higher the RPM went I began to slow

 

i hit a little over 130 in my 93 si

 

My girl friend has got here CX up to 100 mph in 4th but never tried to go over. Figured 5th would of nto pulled any more anyways. And her gears are super LONG.

 

i hit 118 in my cx easily

 

throw the engine, tranny and all off a cliff... reach speeds un fathomable
i hit 97mph with my cx and that took a lil under 1 1/2 miles to do...
i hit 110 in 3rd gear with the dx motor

 

cx gears = long as hell

 

This thread is awesome!!! hahahahhahaha

 

km

 

 

There is no way a cx can do 110mph more like 10mph.

 

I think it can be done. I've had my CX (before the swap) up to 100 on the interstate, and it felt like it had plenty to go.

Most people don't know that the CX has a 6200rpm redline (or is it 6500?), so it can be done.

 

my cx did 94 mph but it took a long time to get there and my cx is stock my gears are hella long to.

 

ive been in a VX with intake header and it did like 102mph in third, it reached 100mph much faster than i had expected, to say the least, i was very impressed.

a CX? i bet it could get over 100mph just not in 5th gear. The motor wouldnt have enough power to turn that 5th gear.
