I was on the autobahn today, and i hit 115mph, and it seemed like it cut out, im thinking that there is a speed limiter that cuts off the fuel at 115mph? can anyone confirm that?

Ive been faster than 115... there's no fuel cutoff

 
Rep Power: 194

I think it cuts out at about 130mph, but ive never hit it

from my understanding, the d17a1 tops off at 110-115, the -a2 tops off at 135-ish.. My GPS said I was going 136.1 when I topped off my car way back when

Civic LX's with the non-vtec d17a1 engines are electronically governed at 116 MPH in the US and Canada. The fuel pump cuts out.

Not sure what happens with European Civics.

Ohh sorry didnt "d17a1" in your sig

exactly, 115 is about the max for dx/lx non vtec engine before fuel cut.

The ex hits 127 before redlining. Don't ask me how I know.

I'm more interested in how far/long it took you to get there.

I don't see how you people feel comfortable doing over 110 in one of these civics... I pushed it to like 102 one day, and that just felt sketchy in the car. I've cruised, literally like it was nothing, in my mom's C300 at 115 and it felt comfortable, safe, smooth, etc. Am I a *****, or do all civics give that feeling?

I topped my car off at ~135 and it didn't really take me that long.. Then again, I was on a road trip and I didn't really time myself to get that fast.

Okay pheww, it scared the crap outta me, i was like ohh great here goes the engine lol, but it seemed fine so then i assumed this.

It didn't take too long to get there at all in a manual LX while holding 3rd and 4rth as long as possible. Honestly I think the car felt great at tripple digit speeds. Didn't feel unsafe at all. Maybe it does on 14" 195 stock tires, I don't know. I'm riding on 15" 205s.

Not sure about manual vics, but my EX only tops out at about 105.

Tried it several times to confirm.

 
Rep Power: 307

What are your RPMs at that speed ??

 
Rep Power: 0

I feel uncomfortable when its speed meter reach 90mph.

I haven't driven an auto civic, does it have a switch to turn over drive off? It should go faster then that.

 
Rep Power: 0

Im not 100% sure, It was between 4500 and 5000, had plenty more to go. And it felt good for running on stock size tires lol, wasnt shaking at all.

And someone said it, but my car is American Specs, not European.

It didnt feel bad at all, i mean it wasn't squirely or shaking, just had to have two hands on the wheel, maybe my tires are just balanced extremely well(hence the no shaking) but it didnt take to long either, i didnt do a from a dead stop run, i was cruising in 5th at about 90mph and then i was like lets see what this thing will do.

I've hit 135 in my turbo ex. I also have a video going to 120.
The 120 was when I was only on 5 psi and 152 whp.

what do you have to change/remove to get the limiting to not happen ?? would it be the ecu ??

 
Rep Power: 0

Well I have AEM EMS, I can go as far as my tranny will let me.. but I bumped the rev limit up a little also

 
Rep Power: 195

I may(or may not have) Gone to 120 MPH in my 02 ex US no cut off.

Why are you fools driving your slow cars over 100mph?

 
Rep Power: 0

Good question. Be careful guys, these just don't have the aerodynamics/air ducting etc, for triple digit speeds, especially the 4 doors. A little too much air pressure under the front end is all it takes.

How many of you have H-rated or better tires?

 
Rep Power: 511

Mine was done when I was young and naive.

Done with Z-rated tires, no less.

 
Rep Power: 811

EX should all have H rated tires, ive never used any worse. car is surprisingly very stable at 100mph and felt like it could go higher (on empty flat rural freeway). but not something i would do more than once. but this was when the car was still fairly new. i wouldnt dare try again now as it just doesnt have that safe feeling anymore. even 65mph seems like too much for it.

I run falken azenis rt615k semi slick dot race competition tires.

Well im stationed in Europe, and travel on the autobahn occasionally, and well, i just wanted to see what it'd do, but id probably do about 90-100 average on the autobahn for 100miles or so
