I taped the pee-shooter exhaust to see how it sounded from the outside. (haven't A/D'd it yet) Anyway, I noticed that the engine seemed to miss when she hit around 5500rpms. I haven't had any trouble with it, no codes, just a curiocity if this was normal to the J30a1.

The engine was cool, but not cold. And I noticed that it would imediately not miss when the rpms fell below 5500 again.

 

rev limiter cuts off gas around 5500 in neutral

 

Thank you.

Peace out.

 

yeah man, youre welcome

 

lemme see if i got this straight, we have a rev limiter for nuetral but not a limiter for top speed?also one day i was doggin my moms accord racing a jetta and when it hit like 135 it like shut down so do accords have a top speed limiter?

 

am i missing something here?

 

all cars do, it's called a governor

 

You have a lower rev limiter in neutral because it's very bad to run an engine that is not under load.

 

yea i maxed my old Vigor out and the governer kicked in at 135....

anyone maxed there CL out before?

 

I only found out about the N rev limit because I was curious what my "pee-shooter" exhaust sounded like. I have never reved it over 4000 before out of gear. So, I learned what it would do if I did. Sounded OK, but kind of raspy. I am looking at an exhaust system but I have to save the money.

Thanks again.

Oh, as for top speed, Wilp99 claimed to have pushed "Precious" to over 130+. I've pushed to 120 and had plenty of pedal left over.

 

what about this kid

The car is in gear and has not yet reached 5500 anyway. the Nutral Rev Limit is to stop your engine from blowing up if the pedal were to get stuck... I've been doing some additional research. The setting can be changed in the ecu using the Honda ECU Scanner. I read also that if you have certain PDAs with the correct software and adapters... You can both monitor and tune the ecu. That is pretty neat stuff.

Oh, as far as I have found, there is NO speed governor on the 1st Gen CLs. And I am certain they would have set it low like on my brother-in-law's Escort GT 5 speed. It peters out at 115 or 120mph, I can't remember.

 

i've gotten to 133 and i pussed out cas that was real fast and cop buster started goin off turns out i was by walmart lol owned by walmart.

 

i pinned it,but none of the pics came out due to the fact i just pointed and shot.(didn't want to take my eyes of the road). i do 120 regularly,but can't pin it regularly cuz after 120 she kinda sluggish due to o/d.

i did 135 in mom's accord. do accord's have a top speed limiter cuz at 135 she cut out?(it's a 94 lx)

 

i maxed at 140 before getting bad feedback from my car.

 

ive hit over 140 racing in michigan. i think i read somewhere that top speed is 147 on the 3.0's

 

In a 1998 2.3CL I read that it has a fuel cut off at 6500 rpms and in a 1998 3.0CL it's 6600 rpms.

 

I've gone a 140+ in the CL. But on my bike I did 157 than I slowed down, it was scary shit!

 

the speedometer only goes up to 140 on the cl......??

 

^^^canadians got 220 on the dash

 

Don't you ever look at your gauges?

 

of course I look at my gauges......sometimes
so hes a canadian, eh?
