this post gave me a headache. your engine has a ton of miles, im sure thats not helping any. more top end? go turbo. ha

 

thats one long ass confusing sentence

 

OK it like this i have a custom intake and a hp muffler on the car the car top out at 110mph i want to know how can i get it to go faster and yes i will say that 245k mile are a lot but ACURA didnt get it name buy makeing half ass cars

 

yeah sounds like your motor is tired or you have problems, because my friend's 88' Sterling w/Intake and 150,000miles with the 2.5L Motor did 145mph on the highway.

 

my old '87 with 230k did 130, so it should do over 110 easy.

 

trying rolling up your windows no seriously that might work, if not a tune up...

rebalance your wheels, make sure your brakes arn't dragging, clean your air filter, etc. etc.

 

alright guys i will try what you have said but i have a 2.7 with 245k and that night i had my windows down with 3 people in the car and the filter is new and i have just tuned it up so i will get back to you as soon as i can thanks

 

wel i have done everything that i could and i have better results i took it on a flat street and got it up to 135 i think that a lot btter then before i have installed indglo gauge on my car also and it a nice thing to see if anyone think i can get more out of it help me out

 

Yeah it was definitely the indiglo gauges that got you to 135

:bowdown: to the indiglo gauges

this post is worthless, somone please delete it.

 

hey i just wanted to ask a Q then You have to be dumb a say that this post a piont less dont get mad cuz u have all that work done to your car and my is still faster

 

Not to take sides or anything but.....

dont get mad cuz u have all that work done to your car and my is still faster

look down at thew speed and it was stuck at 110mph

so its stuck at a dollar ten yet its faster then Steve's?

 

yes I'm over here scratchin my head too.....


ive allready pegged the 140mph speedometer several times.....



110 is nothing.


And all I have is Intake and Exhaust????


Wow thats allot of work! LOL


Please

 

well read the post and you will see that my car dont hit 110mph at least no more ha but i got it to 135 and had to slow down cause there was no more road plus my car is automatic so say what you want

 

try doing over 135 with your windows down.


I had em down when I pegged the speedo.

 

aight ill see what happens is your car 5 speed? and how many mile you got

 

its a 5-speed with a slipping clutch and 116,000miles.

 

hey stevenman i did what u said and this time on a better street oo as for the speed i lets just say that the needle was covering the 140 number and i had my 2 friend with me in the car so ?:bowdown:

 

After checking back in on this post periodically, something has been bothering me.

Why, if it is so wrong to talk about street racing, is it not wrong to talk about driving faster than 130 on the streets?

Just doesn't make sense to me.

 

ok how long was this "STREET" you did this on???


You went 140 in a STREET????


First off there are several things wrong with this.


1st off, this kind of speed should be done on the highway if it all.


2nd, there is no way a stock legend with 250,000miles can get up to 140 on a street, it takes time to get it up there and lots of road

3rd, doing 140 with your windows down is allmost not possible in a stock legend due to the huge air drag on the car


I've gotten up to 130 with my windows down but it took a long time and lots of open highway, and even then the car was very unstable.

I just wanted to see if you were lying or not and well, looks as you are.

 

What are they putting in the water these days?

 

I just wasted a good two minutes of my life by reading this thread!!

Hey steve I'm surprised you kept on going. Has the g1 section gotten that boring?

I agree with musketb:
"Why, if it is so wrong to talk about street racing, is it not wrong to talk about driving faster than 130 on the streets?"



Esti

 

hehe yeah pretty boring around here latly


I cant wait to start tearing down my C27 this winter tho, the buildup should be fun.


I cant wait to share all the progress with you guys, ill post pics and more

 

Im already there, i have the 5 speed apart and awaiting to be finished up and transplanted instead into my auto.

I have ported most of the intake manifold ( and for the record im keeping the butterfly valves and getting larger ones installed, i like the low end torque.

1 exhaust manifold is ported,1 to go. And damn those exhaust manifolds are insanely restricting, by far the biggest problem with power in are cars.

soon enough i will take my old non JDM motor's head off and get it shaved a little with some head porting, overall the heads look good for quality and factory flaw, but there is a big bump on the top of the chamber before the valve split ( it has to go )

as soon as i get most of that done im going to start on the custom Carbon Fibre bodykit and low pressure undercarraige.

With all this done im guessing it will be ready around christmas.

and the air will be nice and cold for a top speed test

im guessing it will max at around 150-160, but get there a hell of alot faster

 

Right on man!!! :werd:
