for those with 5th gen's, whats the top speed at redline in 2nd for your cars? mines 60, seem right?

 

62-65

 

same here, sounds crazy with my intake!

 

i know!! from redline to the few 100s rpms past it, my car is loud as ****, does anyone elses car change pitch when you hit redline?

 

94Accord - what mods are you running?

 

AEM CAI is my only power mod, the rest is susp mods.

 

mine, has hella pitch difference when it red lines, of course its the V-tec

 

it's hard to tell what your actual speed will be b/c all speedometers are usually skewed from the factory (for "safety" reasons)... plus using a different tire size will affect it... also, your tach is skewed too... usually about 100-200rpm... it varies from car to car (inconsistencies in production)

 

None stock tire sizes could make your speedo read probably up to +/- 3mph at 60. A smaller-than-stock radius will make your speedo read high and conversly a larger-than-stock radius will make your speedo read low.

 

my car get real loud with the CAI in any gear when i floor it. sounds really good 3000k to red. (althou its a nice sound not that striaght pipe back fireing sound)

 

I get @62-65 in 2nd out of my 98 accord ex auto.

 

just means that your gears are tall.....the CR-X HF gets like 70mph in 2nd....

 

you can get to actual redline in an auto?

 

i was hitting 67 +/- in 2nd on the track. When my car hits high cam it changes pitch with the CAI and then halfway through high cam it changes pitch again

 

it really depends on state of tune, but its all gear/rev limited really i get 62-65

 

84mph

 

my highest mph in 2nd gear was 40.. but i dont push my car. i never go past 5000

 

i get up to 75 in 2nd gear. whats everybody's top speed with a stock computer? mines is 135mph

 

I don't recall any USDM HOnda having a speed limiter. They all have drag or redline limited top speeds.

 

Oh yeah they do. My Accord (stock) had a 118mph cutoff. I still had 500+rpm until redline. Now, I have got it up to around 145.

 

yeah redline limited if I didnt have fifth gear just like james said. fourth will run to 118 and so will fifth

 

You were actually getting some type of fuel cut at 118 mph?
I got my stock Accord to an indicated 130 on several occasions.
Car and Driver got 127 mph out of your 5G.

I've still never heard of a USDM Honda with a speed govenor.

 

felt like a rev limiter too me, never hit it in first through third though. The engine was pullin and hit, then would fall back 200-300 rpms

 

The difference is the EX and the LX. Everyone I know with the EX could reach 130, those of us with the LX cut off at 118. Scary thing hitting your speed limiter. It was almost like redlining and hitting the rev limiter, but you were not yet at redline.

 

Oh okay. Wow so the LX (and I guess DX) did/do have a speed govenor. Yeah it's just like the rev limiter, fuel gets cut at the max MPH and the RPMs just bounce off an imaginary limit.
