blew the engine again

[Ken in AZ]

dude, I easily pinned my speedometer in my old car. I had a video of me doing it, but I accidentally taped over it with me doing it...lol

anyway, I had a shift light set up to activate at 6800 rpm, in fith gear with the NA trans

i switched to the z32 rear 4.08, tires were 275/50 16's so that makes me sitting at 174mph wich was reached easily btw. that equals 280kph

I was cracking out 24psi intercooled

I'd say at his power level it is absoloutely possible

Is that EGT post turbo? if it is...900F is max sustained I would ever try to reach

[Dino]

my egt-sensor is before turbo, at the place where normally is the exhaust-recirculation hose. (or how it is correctly called)

[FlawleZ]

I hit 145 with my old motor which was just bolt ons and 12 psi on the T25. I was paced by a second vehicle to confirm as well. Its totally possible.

I also hit 142 in my NA Z32.

shit, i wish i had the balls to take my turbo Z up to speeds above 100 mph, but going based on my past i'd be too afraid of breaking something on top of the fact that i still need an alignment, and a balanced and stronger driveshaft.

Wtf? Dont be such a girl, it wont break lol 100mph is nothing...

@Morgenstern: Haha...100 mph, hey man, USA is the Country of the Quartermile....isn´t it, i would guess most of the cars in that forum make far more than 100mph after a lousy quarter of a mile or after about 13 seconds of slamming :-)

Maybe cars like the good old Ford Model T have been critical to drive at 100mph but not our Zs :-)

And why do you think you need a new driveshaft? Were the joints "replaced" at one time before?

Trick question?

[FreeLanceBum]

I got my 87 NA to 136MPH (high flow cat + CM cat back 2.5, K&N cone)
As for my 85T Only got it to 122MPH so far, ran out of road. (same exhaust and filter)

I break 100MPH all the time, it's nothing for a Z.

sorry, was thinking diesels for a sec......but 900F on a gasser is max I'd go

[craZed]

I have my egt sensor in my turbine housing.
Idle ~800f
Cruise @ 70mph ~1150f
Cruise @ 100mph ~1300f
I have seen as much as 1500 on a pull.
This is with a JWT tune.

[MrwassmanNA2T]

Yeah, i found out the "speed Limiter" doesn't work on my car. Took it to a 130, with no issues

[Domdogg123]

Speed limiter is @ 137mph.

[MrwassmanNA2T]

What.... Frell, i thought it was 127 ops: FASTERRRRRRRRRRR
