yeah automatics cant go as high, but autos use less rpm. On a uto civic going 65 its no more than 3k rpms. when its a stick, rpms should be slightly higher. probably 3.3 k rpms. this is not accurate though its around that much.

2004 Coupe LX 5 spd...no engine mods whatsoever...can hit 117 mph anytime of the day. At 117 mph, the governor kicks in and retards the fuel. I still have at least another grand before redline and car still wants to pull, so there is no issue there.

When doing an engine swap, Hondata will "delete" the governor. Can't wait. Used to have a 1997 Prelude sportshift. Had Tanabe exhaust, cold air intake, Nology wires and MSD ignition. I could hit 145 mph all day long...no governor...500-750 from redline...but drag prevented me from going faster. Was driving on the freeway one day, started going down a 10% grade, and burried the speedo (over 150 mph).

Trey...you did not hit 143 in your stock LX. No way...no how. Don't need to lie to kick it dude.

In my civic, 137.

In my WRX, 149.

Funny thing is that both times I was on the 5 freeway which you normally wouldnt want to speed on.

Treyplay8 · 01-06-2005

I own a 2001 lx sedan and a 2004 ex sedan. My lx is governed at 115mph but I hit 143mph in my EX sedan.

Civic_RedLine · 01-06-2005

143 on sedan ex civic??? hmm...........

I tell you what I will take a photo of my speedo and post a pic to make everyone happy. By the way I do live in Germany and we have auto bahns. No speed limit so I have more room to get up to speed than most of you. Plus 2000 si's run into the 150mph plus. So why wouldn't our vic's. We have more displacemnet 1.7 liter v/s 1.6. Just because they get up slower doesn't mean they do not have a high top speed.

S2000man01 · 01-06-2005

ah, see we failed to see your location. if you're in germany, it makes perfect sense. no need to post a pic.

by the way, we also have the 1.7 liter.

i'm sure you could get 145mph or so in a stock civic without a governor and enough road. but i dont think you'll get much past that with the stock 127hp. at 145mph the car is probably at or nearing it's drag limited speed.

the Si can hit faster speeds because it has 160hp.
