100mph in 3rd?

Post by **Merlin** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:14 am

I didnt think it was possible in a VTEC Lude, the 2.3 probably could. I had a quick blast on a network of private roads by me and it seemed I was hitting 160 kph in 3rd. Is this possible or is my speedo lying to me?

I did 124mph in 4th gear in my BB3 so i dont see it being that far off.

I cant even hit 90 in my 5G.

H22 + Gearbox from H23 = very yes (and without going into the redline)

i can hit 75 in second but iv never seen what 3rd can do all the way.

i would expect it to though, give or take. if the car will do 150mph and do 75 in second i would hope it would do 100 in third 125 in 4th and so on?

I've got the statistics somewhere in some Honda lit, of the speeds in each gear. (H22 VTEC manual)

IIRC, I think it lists 3rd as 93mph, so with speedo inaccuracies....

Check the gearbox thread on here, works out the speed in each gear

i always fine the speedo is always wrong! it says your faster than you really are! and yes i know i got smaller wheels and tires! lol but its the same in my dads ford mondeo! if you use a sat nav you'll know what i mean!

75 in 2nd

, you sure? I know that my 5G will do 57mph in 2nd at 7.8K or there abouts. I know they have different gearboxes but I wouldnt have thought the difference would be that much.

I just realised that in my 4G I am over 8K at the displayed 160kph, I dont have a limiter on my Spoon ECU.

Limiters 8.5k on the spoon map isn't it?
