i curious bout the top speed cause put every bolt on performance enhancement that i can think of. im not to sure to upgrade my ecu to get a better outcome

 

What are you saying?

Upgrading the ECU i.e. hondata & AEM EMS will give your engine a "better outcome"

Top speed is related to the gears in you transmission.

 

since i installed header aem intake, 2 1/4 pipe exhaust system, magnoflo cat , i dont know if i need to upgrade my ecu to get better top end

 

it's not about top speed, it's about how fast you can get there.

 

Don't take your car up to speeds it wasn't meant for. Read: Stay below 90 at all times. You drive an Accord; there's no reason for you to try and even reach your top speed. Exercise in futility if you ask me.

 

dont worry about your top speed, since youll never, or you shouldnt, drive that fast anyway even if youre doing a 1/4 mile at a track

 

In my accord manual is says top speed for 4th gear in an lx is 121mph, so I'm guessing top speed in 5th would be around 145-150.

if it says 140mph on speedometer than the car was meant to go that speed

 

technically i need to worry because when i race, its on a highway so i need to go as fast as i can feel me

 

when I had my 98 Accord LX 4Cyl..I had it up to around 110mph one time, never did run it that high except for that one occassion and that was when I had first purchased it

i feel you.

so dis is whut yu do, there is a wire underneath the air intake next to the distrubitor, it is a blue wire with green stripe, that is your cutoff wire, cut dat **** and yu be off da hook.

i hit 180 mph in my turbo accord, tis what da GPS told me.

 

I hit 135 in my 97 ex coupe, everytime i get on the highway i atleast hit 110, hmmm maybe part of the reason i dont have my licence right now

I would tell you to get nitrous, but then I don't want to be responsible for your and by-standers death.

I bet you never thought twice about safety i.e. upgrading the brakes, better tires and suspension work. With that mentallity, you will get yourself and others killed.

Please be responsible.

 

I've had my 95 Accord LX hit the governor a couple of times. Mine shut off at 115 mph. I kept it to the floor, and it would drop on the RPM and I couldn't go faster than 115. I did however pass the Sunfire GT that shuts off around 105.

that seems like it shut off kinda early? i mean i believe you and all i just would have thought it would have been at least 130 or so.

 

I drive with TEIN SS suspension, Brembo blanks, Hawk HPS pads, and an Escort Passport 8500, yet I'm still bright enough not to go that speed unless its on the track, genious...
