Civic EG

ok i have a 95 honda civic lx woth the automatic trans and it run out of steam at 100mph why is this

Im gunna take a guess and say because it's a 1.5L and an automatic. not that a 5 speed would make it rocket past 100mph but you get the idea.... i hope

My dx with the d15b7 and auto was about the same way. I think the fastest I got with that setup was 108 mph and it took a while to get there.

my sedan (when it was running) lx automatic d15b7 nearly did 115 mph but it took along time to get to that... empty freeway, early in the am, late to work only way i pulled that off but maybe thats why my motor took a poop

same here. maxes out at about the same speed as you guys.

Yea, OP.. You pretty much answered your own question.

the stock 1.5L isnt ment to go that fast and couple that with an auto trans, hell it take me at 12 seconds or more to get to 60mph lol

Because it's a honda.

thanks for the input but how much fast do u think a 5 speed will make it and what cheap mods met help me out with the speed problem?

Your stock ECU is limited to not go over 115mph. I have with my d15b8 and cx gearing gotten to 115 and sat there not going any faster. It actually doesn't take me very long considering I can run out 3rd gear to about 105. Id say from 80-100 takes me about 10-15 seconds. Sometimes less depends how heat soaked the motor is (if id already been running it hard earlier).

1.5 eco motor+wind resistance= no go fast

becuz NOT racecar
