Vti Bloody speed limited !!!

[Stevil]

Well found out today the Vti 1.8 is speed limited to 210 kmh ! Who would have thought, are any other models limited or is there a way to overide it ?

[Grayfox]

Speed limiting is normally done by the ECU.

And their are ways to disable it but I wouldn't.

[xenonkuraz]

where would you do more than 210km? if your engine can even handle those speeds?

[*vtec-screamer]

good luck doing over 210 in your civic lol

[NeedVtec]

oohhhh shiiiii never knew the R18 could get 210! Flux capacitor?

[DuffyFD]

All on private roads, but yes anything over 180 is pretty shaky unless it's a dead smooth track. Damn, I had it at 200 once, Should have gone 10 more!

[xenonkuraz]

I've never even gone beyond 120 in my civic, and thats boosted. haha

[Grayfox]

I have seen videos of the FK2 hitting 220 with the R18A2 engine.

[Stevil]

Yeah private testing on the oldies farm ! Haha keep in mind rolling diameter my tyres would have the Speedo out by almost 10 % so probably doing 190. Felt like an indicated 220 was prob, so double ton is doable. Also had 100kg brother on board.

[ekay1]

Hey Stevil, were you perhaps at the jdmyard meet?

[Stevil]

Nope had to go to Nelsonbay the the weekend

[curtis265]

you can do 210?! wtf!

[Symphorced]

lol must've been a long stretch of road.

[aaronng]

At what RPM did the engine cut out at 210km/h? Usually it is limited by wind resistance and not speed limited.

[Stevil]

aarronng the engine cut out at 5400 rpm, gunna change the final drive next year to improve acceleration.

[|N|]

Lol...

Nice.

[CrystalSkull]

i laugh every time i read this thread title, just hope you don't become another statistic.

[Stevil]

I think my days of becoming a statistic have well and truly past, I grew up dirt biking and when you ride KX500 and KTM550 2 strokes at 170kmh plus on hard packed sandy tracks then I must have done something right. Ran wide at turn 1 once at eastern creek on a ZX9R, now that will open your eyes up !!

[*vtec-screamer]

^ claps, good on you mate..lol

[Sherweeeny]

Had the fd2 sitting at 220 (214 on nav) with sunroof and windows down, and it was just cruising. Couldn't get to the top speed though as our flat road ends on a beach and I didn't feel like getting salt damage

Where was such a road ?

[Stevil]

I'd imaging it was a private test track !! doesn't everybody have 1.....

[JohnO]

LMAO

youre amusing stevil

[u mad?]

r18 is the new d15b

[UNLS1]

why the f would u even bother getting to 200 in a civic? it would take forever anyways..

[Stevil]

Question is why not ? and no it dont take forever !

I have plans to extract a little more power out of the the piece of shit motor, lower the gearing and take it to Phillip Island where I'm hoping that it will pull 200kmh. Hey we can't all afford a shit hot CRZ ! lmfoa

[CrystalSkull]

Pls upload photos of the smash.

Buddy its not whether we can afford it or not but it's a matter of specs and preference. The rear end of the crz looks like utter shit however I'll compliment the front for styling. If the choice was between a 86/brz and a crz I wouldn't even think twice on choosing the brz.

Lol funny bloke, taking it to 200 at phillip island seriously? Watajk learn to drive your car around a track first ie Wakefield or eastern creek. Actually don't bother with ec its a high speed track don't want you crashing your 45k car lol.

Johno ya makin no sense, what ya smokin !

I drive a Vti, it cost me $20K , already done Wakefield & Marulan last year, will do em again this year. Done plenty of track days on bikes at Eastern creek, Oran park. Personally I think the CRZ looks shit.

[JohnO]

Lmao I'm getting the threads mixed up haha

probably took that FD1 a very long time for it to hit the 194km/h mark, lol.

[Stevil]

NeedVtec mods are pretty basic. P2R Throttle body, K&N filter, Eibach springs, custom RSB, Enkei RPO1 & Fed RS-R, DBA 4000 slotted rotors & Remsa pads.

I found its hits 190kmh pretty easy in 4th, just 5th gear is bullshit ! just too long.

Dude I probably wouldn't post pics like that. It's common knowledge that police monitor several car forums, and in the past pictures such ones like this have caused some problems not only for the owner but for the forum community.

[fitme]

^ nahh look closer its LHD

[Stevil]

It also looks autobahnish !

[Grayfox]

At least I know my car which is a Honda Civic Si Hatch can hit 230km/h.

It has the R18A2 engine that gives out 138HP.

SA. Not so much a race track... Think of a drag strip with a slight bend adjoining two acreages, without the drag strip bit and you will get an idea

[NelsonLSY]

I think a D15 VTEC could hit 200 easily too?

[NelsonLSY]

FD1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rSDcAFIVWQ

[double_8]

spend money to unlock speed limiter and top speed only reach 215km/h.. lol... j/k

[kikimushroom]

jesus, 210... LOL

[nelsonian101]

Bet it does well over 200kmh now........

[cbauto]
