I wanted to know what you guys with 2nd gen integras top'd out at. assuming you did this at the track. i am looking more towards cars with five speeds and 1.8 non vtecs
thanks

 

There are so many different "top speeds." Stock 2nd gens would probably get up to 120-130, but people say they go faster and I think thats bullshit. The highest speed you could probably get out of the stock gear ratios at red-line in 5th gear would probably be around 145-155ish. You'll never see those numbers because you would be aerodynamically limited to less if you don't have serious power.

 

I have a LS motor (1.8 non v-tec) hooked up to a b16 tranny and I run out of gear at 135.

 

is there anyway to switch the gear set? i am just learning about import cars i was big into hot rods and v8's. Does one of these 5 speeds even have a ring and pinion?

 

b series tranny's are easily swapped between b series engines. b16/itr tranny's are the shortest geared of them all.

honda's are fwd and dont have rear ends (with one exception) so they dont have a ring and pinion

 

so if i want higher top speed i would want the tranny that is in it right? ir do i have it backwards?

 

nonvtec b series tranny's are the longest geared and theoretically will give you higher top speeds, but unless you're doing high speed runs on salt flats, is pretty pointless to have.

 

Hi, I unfortunately have an 01 GSR and 07 TL Type S, so this information does not truly apply, however, I do know how fast a TL or Integra can go.

If I run My GSR up to Redline in fourth, before shifting to fifth I can usually get it up to about 140mph (on a slight decline and in the morning)

MyType S has a 160 mph Speedo, so all I can say is that it is faster than 160mph.

this is probably heading towards a lock but when you are talking about top speeds its almost always an issue of power vs. drag not gearing. A GSR won't run out gears until 160+ but it has nowhere near enough power for that. A lot of cars will even hit a higher speed using one gear from the highest, I would imagine that is true for a stock LS.

 

As long as there is no mention of doing this on the street and remains constructive, there isn't a problem with it.
