Just one quick question? Does my RS have a speed limiter? I cant get it above 120, or about 5000 RPM in 5th gear?

 

not that I've ever "tried to reach speeds like 120 on a public road", but i've also found that my integra RS tops out at 120/121 and seems to `wiggle` there asking for more, but the rpms cease to increase. electronic limiter?

 

Nope, they are drag limited. The only reason you cannot go faster is because the engine does not have enough power to do it.

I have gotten my GSR up to 142mph (indicated) when it was naturally aspirated.

when i had my LS with AEm, the highest i gotten it was 133... so ya, the integras do not have seped limiter..

my gsr with just intake and headers hit 152...

 

i could be wrong, but i dont buy that.

wouldn't the engine be @ redline
if that were the most speed the car
could handle?

to support this i can tell you that
IMO the engine is not maxing
just by the feel. if i'm doing 120
in 5th, the car _asks_ for more if
I keep floring it and is definately
not wanting to ease up.

 

i hit 145 in ma LS.. about 6000 rpm (give or take a few RPM)
i got no limiter or anything.. cuz i have a chip.. they werk wonders...

 

Dustin is correct in what he says. The integra engine isn't powerful enough to push the car any faster through the air.

If you have a rear spoiler take it off, you might get another 1-2 mph. A very small rear wind might give you another 1-2 mph as well.

The only limiter integras have is a rev limiter.

i got my integra motor up to about 155... i dont think there is a limiter... i had a chipped computer... but i dont think the ecu's have speed limiters anyway

 

look at any car and driver magazine the integra civic si blah blah blah they are all drag limited and not speed limited. sometimes our "almighty 1.8 liters" cant do that much with a 2500+ lb car attatched to it.

 

the US speed limiter is redline in 5th if you can get it there.

but the JDM cars have speed limiters so if you are running a JDM ECU you may have a speed limiter.

Drag limited.

Those of your reporting higher speeds should be aware the speedometer is quite inaccurate at high speeds.

 

actually, there is a limiter on the US GSR...

its at about 156

redline in 5th is 160...

its weird, but true

 

I got up to 133 mph with A/C on my gsr and itz lightly modded and the only thing that made me quit was a car going 90 passin another car in the fast lane!! grrrrrrrrr But I think with the AC off and with more room to run with I can get it in the 140's for shure

 

i love vtec 5th gear keeps pulling...but yeah i wish i had more power to reach them speeds....got my gsr to 130 on the turnpike

 

i've got a 91 LS teg and i've hit 134 before mods on a long stretch of freeway

 

hey, i hit 125 in my dx motor. thats pretty damn weird if a ls cant go over 120

 

i got my SE to 143 MPH and my friend's 2k Prelude to 148.

lol, just thinkin about it... what would yo udo if you saw a cop hidden off the side of the HWY when you passed him @ 120+MPH? I think I'd keep going and hide somewhere, lol
