Top speed? - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

gspower · September 28th, 2011, 03:52 PM

i have a really good question here, if our cars are "electronically limited" to top out at about 135ish mph, why did my car go over 150mph on the dyno? I understand theres no air drag and no weight being pushed by the engine while on a dyno, but that doesnt mean it was 'goverened" to not make it to that speed, answers please?

dyno sheet to prove the 150mph..

FeaRlezZ · September 28th, 2011, 05:24 PM

did u watch ur speedometer during this ?

gspower · September 28th, 2011, 06:25 PM

naw man, remember the tuner is the one inside the car when on the dyno, and all he had was the reading kill switch when he wants to stop the dyno. he just told me that my 4th gear was long as hell and that he hit 150 and sum change on the redline on 4th, and the dyno sheet sure does prove it

so im flabergasted at this

Ha that is pretty interesting . Im curious as to why that happened only on the dyno.

Tsensational · September 28th, 2011, 07:48 PM

Without any aerodynamic mods, you shouldn't attempt it. Neither on the track, nor the street. When a gust of wind can throw you off course and split you and your car into pieces, you know its a really dumb idea. Feel free to do it on a dyno though. Thats what they're for.

I drive a gs auto, 4th gear is my last gear, so it does not top out at 110.

and i dont plan on dyno-ing again for a while, this just intrigued me, because t says my car did not limit my speed on the dyno

FeaRlezZ · September 28th, 2011, 09:21 PM

even if it wuz my tuner and he told me that and i saw the sheet, i still wouldnt believe it until i saw it with my own eyes. but it really does not matter if u top out at 130 or 150 cuz u will never reach either in a race anyway

gspower · September 28th, 2011, 09:24 PM

exactly, we have to remeber dyno speed is never the same as street speed
one has to factor drag and weight, which kills top end speed. this was just fun to see

bullet06 · September 28th, 2011, 09:44 PM

Me and Clayton raced plenty of times to the speed limiter. My car sead 140 but the speed sensor is not that accurate at those speeds. So still probably only going 135.

akley88 · September 29th, 2011, 08:48 AM

ive raced to speed limiter

pat_08GT_Spyder · September 29th, 2011, 01:01 PM

i have raced against my speed limiter, and the sucker always wins...

cyuenchon · October 2nd, 2011, 08:15 AM

I drive a 07 galant es, the 4-speed auto has an electronic overdrive that kicks in at about 110mph, my car has topped out at 140mph

synthetic · October 2nd, 2011, 12:01 PM

I think the highest I've seen is 143 or 147 oh my mph gauge.

Ccarmine · October 16th, 2011, 09:29 PM

The first weekend I had mine i got it up to 142-143 and it still had some more in it but i was on a single lane road and caught up to trafic. Took a long time to get past 110 tho. I'm curious to see if it will get up the any faster with the bolt-ons but I just don't have the balls to do it anymore.

rdelaney89 · October 16th, 2011, 09:54 PM

^ I hit 120 and the needle didn't move any further

DustinH · October 16th, 2011, 09:57 PM

rdelaney89 · October 16th, 2011, 10:29 PM
