GSX Topspeed

If u have an Eclipse GST or GSX, what are their topspeeds??
I got my GSX to go up to 137 mph, ( my turbo turned to an orange/red color when i checked out the hood??) I want to kno wut happens to turbo when that happens??

stock 2G GSX is about 145 and stock GS-t is 137 i think, because it is limited. its fine when you turbo glows but never turn off the car while it is glowing, let it idle for a couple minutes to cool down.

145mph!:eek: dyyaammmmmm
dats fast!
i caught 140 in a mr2 wid minor mods!
i wish i had a glowing turbo!:devil:

the GS-T has to be faster because i hit 130 in my GS, and it's stock. Unless the governer is the same on both.

If the govener is taken off, a GS-t could do 150+. But thanks to H rated tires 130 is all you get. Its easy to take off though, just cut one thing off your ecu.

okay, nex week im gonna "try" to get to 150s, 160s, if its possible, i also jus got my 18g turbo, i'm gonna see what happens!

Last summer I was in the car with my buddy and he hit 150 in his 97 eclipse gs bone stock I couldnt belive it .

sounds fimaliar any 1
::my car topped out at 160, i need nos 2 bottles::

get NOS!!!! j\k

naaa seriouly go 4 it n good luck 2 u hope u do reach dat goal of 160 jus dont get caught out there !!

:rolleyes:

150 in a stock gs... riiiight...

:bonghitte

are you friends with this guy??? /\

My boy, Cleveland!

150 seems like too much for a gs, but i was able to hit 130 and still accelerate, so IF he were going long enough with the pedal down the whole time, i believe it would get to 150...

GS thats goin 120+++, thats kinda strange, bcuz a GS only has 120 HP or sumthin?? I jus got puttin in my 18g turbo in my GSX, and now im hittin 200s, HAHAHAHA, jus kiddin, im hittin like 160+ though, what about ur guys GSXs

i'm still skeptical on the top speed of 150 in a gs.

140 or so hp? stock right... the factory tires wouldn't hold up to that speed...

and like you said... you would need a longer road... it would take me a guess timated 2-3 miles to find my rev limiter in 5th gear... or longer... it won't happen.

i'm sure i could go faster than what i've done, but you need a long empty stretch of highway and the speed gods on your side...

have fun finding that

Thats bullshit Stock Eclipe Whether its GST OR GSX in 91 to 94 top speed is 148 WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER i have both and they both wont go any faster GEARS WILL NOT ALLOW IT! and if your turbo glows red And you turn off your motor. you dont belong near a idoits just buy a turbo timer they work wonders! :)

And accually a GS has 140hp and they can do 120mph but it takes a century to get there!

Now if you have STCO Gears you are good for 170+ in a stock GST:devil:

My GS is 140 hp, with W-Rated 205/55/16 Yokahoma Tires, rated up over 160+ mph. So my tires have more than enough to handle it.

The GS goes faster than 120 for sure, because i did it, whether you believe me or not, i did 130 and was still able to move faster...

I don't believe my car will get to 150 because of the condition it's in, but i do believe that a gs in good condition WILL reach 150 with an ungodly amount of straight uncrowded highway... or an autobond... :D

The only way a stock GS could hit 150 is down a hill with a strong tailwind.

im not a big fan of eclipses but my friend has a stock gs and he hit 140 took us a while to get there but he got there.

you and your friends are high......

what's faster, stock eclipse, or stock integra gsr?

i would think it's the gsr

what type of eclipse? GS, GT, GS-T, or GSX?

than prolly the gsx

Do we have a second platinum_skyline?

i hope not...

if it's a teg vs a gst or gsx, the eclipse will win...

against almost any teg...


a gsr wouldn't do much against a car with considerably more power...

ok i have a gst and i hit 148 and then mister speed limiter kicked in while my friend wit his vr4 passed me at 155....now for gs's i think they got a 130 limit not positive, and i know gsx's limiter is lower than mine due to the increased weight of the awd drivetrain, my friend's tsi awd hit like 140..which is the limit

gs rs and gst are all limited at 130, AWD models have no speed limiter they just run out of juice at about 145, just inside the V speed rating of the tires. The rest have H rated tires so 130 for them.

spectrum need i go on a run once it is dry out here to show u my car....95 GST goes 145 i have many witnesses, and awd have a slower top speed due to weight.....gst's and gsx's of this year come wit same tires! dman do sum research or better yet get your but out there and acctually RuN one to the limit! i have and i hit 148 wit stock parts

You are a moron...

2G FWD cars have a speed limiter which cuts off fuel at 130 MPH. This is because the stock H-rated tires are only rated up to 130 MPH.

This is taken from a site that has been know for years and is not wrong.

If your car is a 99 it might have v rated tires, then it wouldn't have the speed limiter. And you obviously do not understand drivetrain loss.

Actually it can be done, i have a Eclipse GSX all stock and i have got it up to 155, it took me 2 miles to do it but i have it on tape, side by side with a 2000 Acura GSR!! so i can be done it just takes awhile to get it up there, and yes it was without the govenor, brand new when i bought the car with it in i could only do 135. :smoka:

i have doubts about a gsr running to 155... sorry.

better bust out that tape to make me a beliver, cause i think you been doing to much of this :bonghitte

THIS IS FACT:

GSX's Do not have speed limiters. I have seen a friend of mine reach 174 in the desert flats.

GS-T's DO. It kicks in around 145'ish.

DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME, YOU WILL LOSE http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/images/smilies/mitsu-smiley.gif

i won't argue , but prove it..that i would love to see :bandit:

ok ok...1st off, there is no way an integra gsr got up to 155 w/ out some help. 2nd, gsr vs gsx or gst isn't going to be a killing like u guys think. my frien w/ a 97 eagle talon tsi awd, raced another guys' gsr w/ only i/e, an the talon killed it off the line (awd for u), but by the end of 3rd, the gsr pulled past it by about 1/4 of a car. the cars are heavy, an in a full quarter mile, the gsr is going to get it (even drivers that is). yea...i mite sound biased, but it is the truth, the cars will really come down to driver, an if they are even, the gsr has a chance to beat it.

your friends car hit 174 on the desert flats?
really?

do you know what you've got to have done to your car to be allowed to run those speeds?

and if you've got those things done, then you've got a heavily modded motor as well... i'm sure you could build a car to run that speed.

that's not the question. we're talking a stock car.

and besides, this is a dead topic. leave it alone and let it get closed.

it was started by a 14 yr old who has been lying to everyone on the site since he got here.

I hit 120 in my gs but that was kinda pushing it..it could possible got 130 but i need some striaght road.

The motor was stock besides the basic boltons...here is the vid 6Bolt madness. 174mph (http://www.dsmporn.com/movies/blak94gsx/el_mirage_9-2001/el_mirage_177mph.mpg)

the download rate on that site sucks...

this is the reason this thread was started...

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t83818.html

read that...

i don't really care what your friends car did...

that's great..
don't be an ass about it...

i understand you're defending the car and all, but read that thread and you'll understand why this thread is as funked up as it is...

um, yeah..

i dl'd the video, and guess what, no notation in the video of speed, rpm's, anything...

so that proved nothing.

took forever and i'm on dsl too..

and it's a 1st gen, not a second gen like the thread is about.

i can't say that i believe what you said based on what a video is listed as unless the video says it.

sorry.

No one is being an ass. Just trying to make a point. You dont have to apologize for anything. I know what I know, and I know what I have seen and did.

well...
your point was that that car in the video hit 177...
which isn't documented in anything other than the name of the video...

so you didn't prove anything...
that's all i'm saying...

i would need a radar gun reading, or something off a rev/speed meter to believe any video posted on the web anymore...

i could go drive my car really fast and then post the video of me doing that and call it 180... who can say i wasn't if i don't prove it, or give you any clue?

i probably wasn't, but you know what? you can't prove it unless you're there, or the video says it... right?

Here is my last post on this issue:
STATS (http://www.dsmporn.com/stats.htm) Oh by the way, that CRX that you have on your sig is from a shop called "Pan Auto" wich is located in my town.

Hey...I know that guy! His name is Scot Grey.

that's kinda what i was looking for...

but the fact remains that it's not a stock car, and it's not a 2nd gen.

that's all i'm saying.

it's not stock doing 180mph.

anything else?

:confused:

i'm assuming the guy with the civic in my sig...

no...not the guy with the civic. They guy with the CRX.

the car in my sig is a civic...

92-95 hatchback... not a crx.

i dont see why a gsx was being compared to a gsr ones turbo ones not put a turbo on a gsr and i guarantee the gsr will win

...so by this you mean that a stock gsr motor (B18C) with just a turbo, at 9psi will beat a DSM? Or are we talking post sleeving and everything else?

come on, let this topic die...

i got my car up to 147 (pushing it)

LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!!

just like the guy before you said.... its Locked now!
