105 Damn, i topped out at 115 in a hemi on 22 with 5 people, 10 cases of beer and clothes for the week.

 

.... and we live in hawaii damnit! who the hell wants to speed these days...cops are cracking down big time on street racers

 

Hahaha...If thats your max top end, thats ghey as fuck. Hell, keith trapped 110 in the 1/4.

 

Pffft I got you all beat, My vw thing can only get up to 74, But guess what, its still a fun car to drive.

 

Hey if ya'll drive that fast, hot. I don't so the tranny would be right for me. My opinion and preference, i know everyone's different. Im sure that if you race a stock 2.3 vs a 2.3 with an h22 tranny the modded cl would win, throwing a higher trap. Thats if you want to talk about 1/4 times. Daily driving and street racing, the h22 tranny would be right for me.

 

unless u freeway race and go from random races from a roll like some stupid ass people
like me...

 

who cares? 15's is still slow.

 

But I think he's in the 16 range.

Plus most the races I do ARE highway pulls. Its rare I don't go over atleast 100 during a race. Usually race is determined at about 120 or so.

I'm just curious...I've raced preludes that FOR SURE can go over 105 mph w/ only slight mods. You sure you don't have a lemon?

 

Its because the f22 redlines at 6500 so it runs out of room to accellerate.Plus our cars are heavier.I would imagine taking it up to 7200rpms would likely get you into the 130's. I'v only hit 110 in my car so far so i'm not sure.

 

Maybe I'm failing to understand what you're trying to say...

But here's my question rephrased:

Bone stock 2.2/2.3 CLs can go past 105...Some claim over 120...Some even say 140 **which I question, but thats another story**

Bone stock preludes can definitely go past 105...No question

So why the hell can't a 2.2/2.3 engine with a prelude tranny go past 105?

 

I was wondering the same thing?

 

it does seem really weird but i can see why it would work that way. Not really sure if its worth the time to figure out/explain. It probly has something to do with the fact that when you are in 5th gear the mph/rpm ratio is a lot different then it is other gears. Going from 6500 to 7000 is probly a 15-20mph difference where in 1st you wont hit 40mph untill 5k. Hope that makes sense. Its a really tough one to understand unless you have driven a car with the same setup. My car falls out of vtec sometimes becaues of the h23 tranny. The gears are slightly longer and its not designed for a vtec engine. still works out fine for me though. Its only happened twice. Ask some of the doods on HT they might have a few answers for ya.

 

its all about gear ratio

 

closer gear ratio

 

its all about progress...if you shave a second off your 1/4 time youd be happy wouldnt you

 

dude, im not talking about you. but remember what we were talking about on h3 look out. too much of them.. and they praise anything.

 

Dont feel bad, I top out at 110 now I only have 3 gears.....my 4th went out about 2 months ago.

 

My CL with the stock f23 using a h22a4 5 speed tranny tops out at about 120 MPH becuase I start to redline. I know its because of the short h22 gears. I just wish the tranny was a 6 speed. I know the engine has more to give.

 

So why can't this other dude's go past 105 when he has the same setup?

Something isn't right. I understand the close gear ratio thing...But even so, the prelude can still go past 105. As far as I can figure out...this tells me the f22 is complete shit and the h22 has that much more power that it makes up for the closer gear ratios and allows it to achieve a higher top speed. Am I right?

 

wtf man, my freinds 97 civic ex auto hit 118!!, something is wrong with your gearing?

 

maybe its because the f22 revs lower than the h22?
