As spike told me before there is a speed limiter at 220km/h I believe. Don't remember exactly. But you too speed shouldn't be more than 149km/h unless you wanna give up your car lol.

I hit 225kph in my 00 SiR...ONCE....on a race track of course............*ahem*

Was basically stock at the time, aside from eibach springs...was still pulling at about 7k rpm in 5th when I let off. Not too shabby for a stock 1.6L (b16) and short ratio 5 speed. hehe. Not sure what it'll do now after the few mods I've done. Not gonna try it on the street.

For your car Sirux,(d16 5 speed) I'd guess it would probably run out of steam around 180ish.

hey, you disapeared for so long. you never gave specs about your turbo setup, other than its an H22A1 30PSI turbo, which sounds outragious. what turbo do you have? i dont know the gear ratios of h22 transmission but you should be able to push a little more since to run 30psi you need some serious work for the motor, and you should push higher in the redline.
not trying to be an *** or start anything, but you sound full of ****
