please do that again. also tape it. I'd like to see the look on your face when the rubber on your tires rips through the sheet metal and decapitates you.

hostility aside, you realize your tires can and will fly off the hubs in that kind of situation, right? were you alone in the shop when you did this? did NOBODY warn you?

What are you a "downy"? Ever hear of wind resistance, friction, and engine load? If you believe that's a true representation of the vehicles actual top speed than you probably also believe the SRT4 is the fastest car ever.

Don't forget your helmet before getting strapped into the short bus.

You ask him not to do it again, yet you ask him to tape it :confusem:

Ryan I have to agree about this not being one of the best things to do, yet we could say that about something that everyone has done here. So please don't do that again, cause we wouldn't want to see/hear anything bad happen :)

the guy hits 136 with no friction and no wind resistance, and says that GEARING is what limited his top speed, and some momo says he got to 145 on the street. My experience agrees with the 136, which i hit on the freeway and bounced off the rev-limiter.

unless you have hondata (higher fuel cut-off), or a different set of gears, you CANT go any faster. Intake and exhaust won't change a gearing limted top speed, and neither will a turbo.

Ehh fuck it man, you guys quit givin him shit, if he set it up right then dont worry about it. Maybe if your mom or dad or child was in the car you would have a reason to yell, but honestly your more likely to get eaten by a shark.....oh fuck..im goin to the beach tomorrow, so i dont wanna think about that over here in the red triangle.....anyways, thanks for the info EPPilot.... take care, and go easy on him guys, he was only tryin to help.... yes wind, friction, etc is a factor but thats how many cars are tested though, but with a few added factors...... thanks, dave

LMAO :D ...that's priceless! Seriously though: last summer I was driving toward St. John coming back from Halifax on a wide open stretch of road and I had the beast up to about 212kph. I think that's around 132mph. That's with fortified suspension and Bridgestone S-03's. On top of that, I was running an AEM CAI, Comptech headers, and the Comptech catback exhaust system at the time. I'ld have to be on the Salt Flats to get it to go much faster than that...:D

well put dave!I dont know why everyone is saying this was a stupid thing to do. It sounds like it was set up right and there is no doubt that it was much safer than even trying to do it on the streets. Oh, no matter how much wind is at your back, you will not go faster than what gearing will allow, unless you have winds in excess of like 200 mph at your back.

Why do you guys ask questions and not believe anything anybody says? I am not afraid of speed. I have done 183 on my race 929 and somewhere near 180 in my R. The hatch speedo goes near 145. Thats all there is to it. Don't believe it, your problem. Maybe I'll have my buddy post here, he was next to me in his 99 Si. We have done it several times. Oh and my boosted hatch wraps the speedo to the other side. Also don't be illusioned by what the speedo says. There is error in those numbers. I was radared at 165 and speedo said 178. Yes we use radar guns:)..................

Eh???? Just cause the gauge says that doesn't mean you can go that fast :confusem: Like Tripp says, your post makes little to no sense.

You know what, how about not being stupid and telling people how you drive like a fool. You own radar guns??? Ok where did you get those. You drive that fast for shits and giggles, for what reason.

If you check your car and make sure everything is teight and you have the right rated tires this is for the most part a safe thing.

If you go into a race like Nextel Cup, ARCA, and so on many of the teams you go buy will have the rear end the the car jacked up and have the car in gear to do work on the car. There you are dealing with 100's of people around and the car is just up on jackstands not even a lift like he had it.

You guys are pathetic. You can buy radar guns anywhere. I work closely with the sheriff's department and race cars. Not that it's any of your business. We use radar guns to tune high output race bikes. My radar speed of 165 was on a 1997 cbr 600, it posted 178 on the speedo. This was done on a private test track at an undisclosed location. I hope this clears up a few things for you assholes.

Ok, so there is an error in the speedometer, makes sense since the speed is calculated based on gear and rpm's and we all know are tach is way off. But it seems that if anything the car speedometer would say that it is going faster in the same way the tach reads higher. Then of course there is the problem of gearing, check this out:

Redline: 6800 rpm

1 : 3.062:1
2 : 1.769:1
3 : 1.212:1
4 : 0.921:1
5 : 0.738:1

Final drive : 4.764:1

Stock Tire Revolutions/Mile: 862

Max Speed: (6800rpm/0.738/4.764/862r/mile)x60min/hour = 134.62 mph

In order to reach 145 mph the tires would have to be 800 revs/mile which is equivalent to a 225/45/18 tire that could never possibly fit in our wheel well anyway. Or if you were going 134 mph and put the car in neutral while you happened to be falling off a cliff you could reach 145mph, but we wouldn't be so lucky.

And to all you yuppies that say " 145 is too fast" buy a d@mn hover-round or somthin, this post wasnt made for people to wine about loss of control of vehicles it was about top speeds so grandmas and ms daisy`s please do not post, just read,, nod ,, and click . and as for " pealing off rubber" is most wanted`s line of work he is trained to do such speeds in and out of traffic so lets not worry like most wanteds mama... but wait i get it ... maybe its those damn cybernation turbo kits that wont let ya get to 145 .. ur welcome for the ride bitches!!!! .. happy delting moderator

Top speed with stock redline is:
Max Speed: (6800rpm/0.738/4.764/862r/mile)x60min/hour = 134.62 mph

With Hondata the redline is 7700 rpm, so:
Max Speed: (7700rpm/0.738/4.764/862r/mile)x60min/hour = 152.44 mph

That is with stock tires, however, which you probably wouldn't/couldn't take to 150+mph. If you had some 215/45/17 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires, that have 843 revs/mile and are rated for up to 168mph, it would be:
Max Speed: (6800rpm/0.738/4.764/843r/mile)x60min/hour = 137.66 mph
Max Speed: (7700rpm/0.738/4.764/843r/mile)x60min/hour = 155.88 mph

The max speed is absolutely limited by redline, gearing and tire size. There are also limits introduced by power and aerodynamics, but you can't get around the revs. The speed limit with stock tires is 134.62mph, period.

Are you sure about 862 revs/mile? I get 833:

R=15/2+((195*0.6)/25.4)=12.1"
C=2*pi*12.1=76.06"
revs/mile=5280/(76.06/12)=832.95

That brings top speed up to 139, but maybe you've got a more accurate R?

I got that number from Michelin's website for the specs on 195/60/15 tires here (http://www.michelinman.com/assets/pdfs/doc_energymxv4plus.pdf). The 862 revs/mile doesn't quite make sense as just a raw calculation because you will indeed get 832.95 from that. I would assume it is because their is some overlap between the tire and wheel and the tire gets compressed slightly. The Michelin number of 862 is on track with pretty much all the other manufacturers for that size tire, usually ranging from about 850-860 revs/mile. I suppose it could be possible to increase the height and therefore decrease the revs/mile of the tires by increasing the pressure signigicantly above manufacturers specs, which is a possibility I hadn't thought of before.

You have Hondata? I noticed your RPM's are above a stock EP's full cut off. If you have a higher full cut off then you will be able to go faster then a stock ep.

My limit is only set at 7500 on the boost car. And that is why I put more than 1 picture, to show where the speedo would be at stock cut off. Look again and you'll see it is still above 140mph. Even with pictures you all still talk shit. Oh well, you all must have a bad bunch of Si's if you can't get them near 140. Too bad for you!!!

Why didn't you just say from the beginning that you had a raised rev-limiter? Obviously it is possible to go above 134.62 with a higher fuel cut-off. With 7500 rpm, that's up to 148.5 mph so I don't doubt you went that fast. If you had said that from the beginning there wouldn't have been so much argument, jeez.

Dude it seems like you got some issues. No one is arguing with you :rolleyes: You are making a big deal over nothing. Take a step back and breath. Cause the only one acting like a kid is you :D

I should have added this the first time, but had to leave to go to school. We have to take more care in what we post and how we react to what is posted. It is easy to get the wrong idea, and is difficult to see what and how the other person really is trying to say something. After seeing your ride, I fully believe what you are saying.

Rueda- There is no confusion, my stock car is at stock rev limit and also tops over 140mph. If you look at the tach at stock limit, it is also over 140.

That is cause I let it go from that stuff before, in person you are a cool dude. Yet when reading this stuff, I have to say you need to remember that folks are going off of what you post. So having complete info is key. I forgot to put a smiley at the end of my post, letting you know that I was joking. Why would I really say you are acting like a kid when you are older than me with a hot girl friend and a sweet ride :tongue: :D

Fair enough, I miss understood your reply. I tend to get a bit on the defensive side. You saw the car, you know how it run's. Can you blame me??? I am only trying to get people to understand you can have great reliability and massive HP. And for the most part, all I hear is how shitty aqua mist and SFP is. Oh well, I'm out of breathe on all this and am going to have fun with my car. I will be posting the times it puts out on Wednesday. It was good to meet you and hope you enjoyed Daytona.

Yeah, we all become defensive here once and a while. I usually keep a pretty nice guy image yet have been known to be harsh from time to time.

Your right the car is very impressive, can't blame you for that. And over time and learning I can see and understand that reliability is possible (and has been done) with huge numbers. With the right knowledge and funds, you could run forever.

It was great meeting ya'll and looking forward to next year. You guys coming to Nopi in Sept? If so you should show with us :D

i got mine to 136-138 on a slight decline on I-15. All the wind noise, engine noise and slight vibrations made it scary. I still could have gone a little bit more, I guess I had 200 more rpms (i think) to go.

I did 132 on a flat part of the I-15 before.

Haha, we ain't so bad. I checked it out, very impressive. Now we have someone who we can proudly brag about to all those folks who think even boosted run high 14's :p

Very nice, wish I had more money. Maybe down the road I could give you a run for your money :D
