WTK: Top speed on an SiR?

MJ · Postby MJ » September 15th, 2007, 8:34 am

yea peeps i just want to find out what is the average top speed on an auto SiR Civic? cuz i realize mine never crosses 180 and mind you it take a while to reach there...it reaches 160 easily but from there like it can't go anymore, and my speedo goes up to 220?

Any reasons why this could be happening? what can i check?

Kinda strange. I have a RORO and it goes to 185 cuz of the speed cut. and yes..it takes quite a while after the 160. More than likely its a speed cut on the ECU.

I am sure you will get lots more info that here.

sounds like an ecu speed cut if it stopping at 180

MJ · Postby MJ » September 15th, 2007, 2:13 pm

whey! that is real crap, my pardna SiR goes to 210 but he has a 98 model. what i got to do to remove or extend the speed cut to where i want?

by the way i'm new to honda so i want to know who is the best honda mech you guys know and recommend?

LOVING MY CIVIC
DIDN'T KNOW VTEC WAS SO MC DECENT!!!!

b16a stock manual 190km/h in 4th did not watch to see 5th gear

do a good tune up first

X2 · Postby X2 » September 15th, 2007, 8:36 pm

yeah... a good tune up with plugs, wires, distrubtor cap, rotor, oil change... that could be limiting the car a little bit.

WHat year is ur car ? and were u buy it ?

Depending on where the car was originally sold can also determine if it had a speed cut from factory.

My sheitty speedo only goes to 180km/hr

, but I have clocked it on a few occasions

Ditto on the tune up for nice clean reachable speeds

I did a recent rebuild, so all of the above was done, yet still my car is a bit slow to make the 180 after i pass 160.

any other suggestions of what i should check ? would the fuel pump and/or regulator make any difference ? Those are the only two items i never checked or changed.
