What engine?? What engine management?? :eh:


I'm almost calling bullshit, and for a couple reasons.......

1. Your cluster doesnt even go to 160

thats true unless he has like an aftermarkt meter
it only reads up to 145 MPH not kph but the EDM DCR teg goes up to 165 mph! :D

thats true...is there a transmission that has a low enough gear to get there?

i know for the d-series you could do it if you had a d15b6 tranny but you would have to have a built motor

Once its converted, it reads up to 180mph

Im pretty sure 160 is achievable but you wont find me trying :lol:

2. Me doing 145ish, put me in 5th gear VTEC at about 8800rpm's, so to get to 160, I can only imagine what the RPM's would have to be.


B18c-r, bolt on mods. my speedo went up to 180mph!

160mph on the clock @ about 8000rpm

really wish i still owned the civic to proove it.

160KPH = 100MPH :wink:

- Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:47 pm #26118 dude, see the sticker "MPH"

for the car to be legal in the UK it has to run in MPH.

speedo convertor units convert it from KPH to MPH

- Thu Oct 11, 2007 3:21 pm #26124 I dont care what some sticker says. You guage face is printed in KPH, those numbers are in KPH.

On top of that, I had an ITR engine, I know what its capable of, and 160mph is something it just cant do.

My engine now will SMASH an ITR, and I cant even get my motor up that high, let alone a ITR with bolt ons.

- Thu Oct 11, 2007 3:39 pm #26126 ok then fella, you dont believe me... thats fine.

but remember my first post said

"160MPH on the clock but the GPS said 156MPH"

thats 1MPH over what a stock ITR is very well know for doing!

PLUS - yes the clocks read KPH before the speed convertor unit was added... as soon as the unit has been added the clocks read MPH, hence the MPH sticker!
