hey all, i gotta mate that reckons their vtec integra 1600cc automatic can go 280kmh... the speedo has been changed and i think the speed limiter 180kmh removed, so what is the top speed it could realistically do? i thought 230kmh might be possible,... anyone know for sure... i have an r32-t and know with the auto that 230 is tops, so the vteg surely cant do 280 in an auto am i right?

cheers all

ian

well 280kmh sounds like a pretty tall story to me .my rb 25/30 de N/A conversion with 3.7 gears and .7 ratio 5th . does 14 .7 1/4 mile and best of a genuine 225 kmh at speed trials winding out over 3 miles . so that 280 kmh figure is " they gotta be dreamin !!! "

I think you'll find the Integras that came in the vtec form, are not 1.6L for a start.

I've driven the DOHC 1.6L in a VTi-R coupe civic, and these hammer. Between a NA skyline, and a VTi-R coupe, its very close. However, these cars are geared for quick acceleration, which means top speed isn't that great.

The Australian delivered Honda's do not have limiters in them. 280 is a bit far fetched, but 230 is believable as i've been at 210 in an Integra Type R, and it still had a lot to go.

Hope this helps mate.

she reckons they did it on a air strip so room wasnt an issue, i just wouldnt beleive that the auto trans and let alone a 1600 would be able to push the car that farr, top gear in an auto would be redlining before it got up to 230 even wouldnt it? and it looked like a stock car pretty much...

the 1.6L your talkling about is probly the LS integra DA9 teg

they run the same B16a as the Civic VTIR (coupe/hatch)

i am very doubt full it can hit 280km/h

in my old civic with a JDM B16a (more power LSD etc )

the very best i ran was 220km/h and the revs were sitting @ 7K rpm

and that was very scary for a old EG civic

anywayz i recon if it had the road max it'll ut out is probly 230-40 max

but it'll need a really really long long road

Theoretical top speed for a R32 GTR is about 250km/h. Don't need a rocket scientist to figure out that a RB26DETT has more torque than a B16A engine. I don't care what aerodynamic coefficent a Intergra is it'll never reach 250km/h (unless a tornado is blowing wind in the right direction and plumetting down to earth from orbit, YES, it may reach 280km/h).

Just cause the speedo says, doesn't mean it can do!
