Pulleys, exhaust, headers, whatever.....it isn't the HP that limits the cars. If you could bolt on 200HP worth of parts you would still be limited to 125ish in an EX manual. As far as people going 130+ with a non modded ECU? :zbsflag: !! Either the speedo is off...or they are just plain lying. And this question has only been covered about 272864 times.

Yeah, all of our cars are limited, unless they have been moded no to be. The limit may be different for EDM, and ADM but other than that, you can only got as fast as the ECU says you can. For me it was 189km/h = 118MPH then the ECU kicked in. I was on a 4 lane highway with noone arround so I hardly felt the speed, I only felt like I was stopped when I slowed down to 100km/h... and I have no doubt that it would have gone faster if it wasn't for the limmiter.

ive hit 135 on the dash but my speedo is a bit fast due to tire size. it was prob more like 127, but i let off, it wasn't limited.

EX's ARE governed I have one, the only time I got over 125 was going downhill. There isn't a kcik or pop or anything...the car just doesnt go any faster. The rev limiter on the other hand makes itself known when you hit it.

but manuals have different gearing than autos. see you'd be redlining at 140 (on stands) like i do in my new manual, but since auto has longer gears, and when i tried it in my auto, it did 160 (on stands) ... both cars a 2001 ex. another thing. the reason autos are weaker is because of the longer gearing. the auto aint **** because it doenst have the power to use the longer gears and to get there. 130 mph manual > 122 mph automatic

btw, that probably was the wind resistance or rev limiter and whatnot since the gearing is a lil shorter.

see, at 120 mph, the automatic is at 5k rpms and in my manual 120 mph is like on 6k rpms... which makes better use of the power band?? the manual since it is closer to its peak hp at like 6500 rpms.

135mph on the altamont. 2001 EX 5spd transaxle. Intake and exhaust.

You know i suspect that there may be a limitation on speed due to the stock air box not being able to pull in enough air.....just a thought.

In Canada it's more than a ticket, you go to jail if you go 80km/h over the limit, and the max you can go anywhere in Canada is 100km/h, actually I think some provinces have 120km/h, in any case, it's not a good idea.

Also, I need this whole "jackstands" explained to me. I may be wrong, but if your car is on jackstands isn't it going no where? How can it go 160?
