HELP! MX-3 will only go 100 mph (speed governor)

[quinn_seipp]

maybe the marines should have taught u how to see a scam when u seen one. also if you were in the marines u would realize that those fans are used on boats, haha

[gueedo]

lol....fans....if u got up to that speed, I'm surprised the blades didn't bust. I've heard of those things busting off and ruining engines...I think there's something about that in a post about those things a while ago.

I dont know if this guy is lying or not- <P><BR>I drive a 1992 SOHC with an intake & wires for my engine work.<P>the fastest I could get my car to go was 103 MPH downhill over a LONG way.<P>However, when I Dynoed my car a year and a half ago, I got it up to 127 MPH on the DYNO-- but that was with no aerodynamic drag either.<P>BTW- I dynoed at 66.7 HP & 70.5 ft lbs of torque to the wheels- Don even think for a second that you actually have 88 HP in you SOHC... because you don't.

my speedo is right i had stock wheels and original tire size on when my dad went 120 at just under 4000 rpm. i dunno whats been done to the engine cause the guy that had it before me said he had done some stuff to it but he lies all the time so i dunno but u gotta remember the car is geared mad high and it took like 3 miles to get it up to that but it did do it

uhh yeah I bet. I have a 92 SOHC all stock and when I'm in 5th at 3000rpms I"m with the flow of traffic which is about 70mph so I doubt at 4000rpms your going 50mph faster.

the only thing i have done to it is make a dual fan induced intake. I have two 120mm Delta fans pushing 190cfm on air each in to the intake. Witch would be 380cfm total, like a generic turbo

I'd watch it with thoughs, my friends thoght that it would work in a 92 honda civic and all that happend was the blades broke off and went in the engine. very bad idea

OLD POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Honda]

Heyyyyyyyy....i have a Honda...but i rode with my friend in his MX-3 SOHC and it def. hit 130mph no problem...took a long *** time but it got there in like 5 miles lol...but..my honda only hits 100mph b/c it has a speed sensor...ne1 know how to take it off? haha u probably think im a dumbass for posting a honda question on a mazda site...lol oh well youll get over it

[mx3TT]

Read the beginning of this old old post and they explain how its been done.

[schwankesmx3]

i think hes full of him self...but if thats what he says then let him say that..i have a dohc and i have a 393final gear and i only hit 131 but it takes a 50shot in 5th..without nos the car doesnt have the power to go past 120 so i dont think that a sohc can do 130 without help .... ive drafted a friend and we hit 130 but i run out of gear...sohc are slow no matter what

[mitmaks]

you only can go 130 with k8

[Ruben MX-3]

BRING IT TO THE TRACK... AND LEAVE IT AT THE TRACK!

[Rope04]

Car still in the shop...Bodymen are soooo slow...But...i only got my mx between 133-134...somewhere between there and i was around 5300-5500 Rpms....i didn't wanna push anymore, traffic and it's damn scary ....Any kind of slip up and Smash...DEAD..I like speed, but rather see who can ACCElERATE FASTER...Thats Power...Not top end...Thats all Tranny Work, but also have to have the power to get there....and 88hp won't....

[bmwm3guy]

honestly, I dont know why people BS on forums with many people MUCH smarter than you, and me. My GS can hit 195-200 on a flat, and about 210-215 on a hill, but she is getting old and tired... ZE time

I'm still using my SOHC ECU on the B6T and the only governer I have is the rev limiter @ around 6350RPM. You could have your ECU reprogramed or swap it out with another SOHC ECU from my year (93).

yea the rev limiter kicks in at 6250rpm on the SOHC

i tought i was 6500 rpms thants when mines kick in 93 sohc
