what is the speed limiter on 5th gen dx?

 

i thnk its 190 or sumthing around there

 

180

 

it is 190..... don't ask how I know I just know

 

Musta been a really, really big parking lot.

 

I was under the impression that all 5th gen didnt have one. I have a 95 si and I have never had it kick in. I know for a fact my si has hit 210-215kms with no help from a piggy back computer or anything.

EDIT> To clarify I was talking about USDM 5th gens

 

ALL cars have speed goveners.
Its just a matter of what its at.
Also has to do with a rev limit though.

 

180 and 6800rpm is limit with d15b i think

 

not 180, i know that for sure...like gatherer dont ask how i know

 

 

on my 7th gen it'll kick in just a wee bit over 180 like 182

 

when i had my d15b7, mine stopped at like 180, it was a big parking lot

 

you have to also realize that at those speeds (160+) you get into air resistance and terminal vociety you have to shift at the right points to get to the limit. Kieran did it just stop and sort of hold it there? if so that ain't the speed govenor which when it kicks in causes the speed to drop due to no gas or spark going to the engine (it just acts as a big air pump till you drop below a set limit..) the speed cut off is 190... once cut off it won't resume providing power till you've dropped below a certain limit

 

yeah, when i did it, i had my foot to the floor, then it just felt liked the engine stopped, it scared me and made me jump cuz i didntr know it would do that lol

 

For all the times I've seen people get gangraped with selfrighteousness for mentioning street racing in any shape or form, this thread on the Darwin Olympics of Civic Racing sure seems to be going on for a while.

I'll give you guys a little advice. Running through 3 gears off a light is far, far safer than touching anywhere near 200 km/h in a lightweight fwd street car. There's just less chance of pedestrians on the highway.

 

i have never said that i have anything at all about street racing
light to light is kinda iffy, but i love the organized ****

 

^ organized street racing is a lot safer than going light to light, and going 200 km/h

 

No they're all unsafe and stupid. It's just that if you lose control at 200 km/h you are not walking away from it.

 

mine is at 122 mph....

 

its 190!!

i had it kick in on that speed
