Hey guys,

jus wondering what your car cuts out at?... on my best friends private property i managed 210kph.

i thought i would have made 220+

jus wondering what you've got in your car before??

I always tought TJ's were limted to 210, the speedo showed 215, i wasn't driving...but really how true is a speedo at that speed...can see some huge flame war about to start....

217km/h at redline in top gear, comfirmed by a gps.

Everytime Ive tried it the speedo has always read 215k/hr, with still 2000 revs to push out.... but saying that I dont think the standard motor will push much past the 215k mark... maybe 220 but yeh not much

My old auto TF sat at an indicated 215kph on the dyno, but speedo accuracy gets worse the higher the speed. Everywhere I have read all 3rd Gen Magnas are factory limited to 210kph (hence the H speed rating on the tyres).

If I remember correctly from an article I read that interviewed some Mitsubishi Engineer, without limiters the 3.5's (not sure on the 3.0's) would top out at around 240kph.

I remember seeing a video of Booya's Turbo TE doing 280kph with more to go....lol that would have been scary. :shock:

268 kph with GPS/g-tech/dyno/stopwatch/lasergun reading to prove it.

Nah seriously though the speedo reading at those speeds would be very innacurate as would GPS.

You'd need a laser/radar to get an accurate reading of speed.

i pullled off at 180km/h on a "private property" as my car started shaking, thinking it was the result on of shonky tyres.

i have done 125 lol

im a scardy cat

I've delimited both my Verada and my Pulsar GTiR. The Verada goes over 250kms. The GTiR will now push 180mph. I did this so neither would lean out, rather than the speed. (Both were tested on a racetrack)

i got my 2.4 hitting 190K's up the bush a while ago, it seemed like it wasnt going to much further but would have hit 200k if i kept on pushing!!

on the drags i crossed at 167km/hr and was still pullin hard hehe

i got mine just off the clock on private property once or twice but not sure how acurate that is. mine doesnt seem to cut out at 220 haha

yeah mine cuts out at 210, seems like it would keep going heaps more too if it wasnt there so i see what you mean 'phonic', damn the bloody tall gears though, hits the speed limiter in 3rd gear GRR :rant:

ive done 240km/h.. hard to say if its true.. probably not but speedo said 240km/h (just past actually)

I've done an indicated 220kph on a publicly owned private property in a public area of a private road which I accessed through a padlocked gate which was when it hit the fuel cut.

I want to reach at least 250kph one day in something. Preferably a full stand still to 250kph run in a big fat euro sedan would be nice.:cool:

I got my car pushing 270+ reving at 7500 in 3rd and i reckon it could of still gone more :bowrofl: I backed off because I was afraid it would hit the speed of light.....















210km/ph and mine cuts out (S/C 4sp auto 3.5L)

Hit 215 (well it could've been 210... I dunno) on private property... we have a salt/dirt plain near my town... just look at my profile pic.

I did a skid!

:bowrofl:

The Verada goes over 250kms.

Cough**BULL******Cough

Unless of course if you have proof?

i can vouch for that. i was a car length in front of him eating a burger and driving with my feet shifting into D with my free hand...next step was to thrust forward into R for Race

my hot as scooter will do 100km/h........ down hill :bowrofl:

never taken the magna over 112km/h on a public road.... :badgrin:

although it will clock the speedo if i pull the needle off and stick it on in a diff spot.... does that count.... see pic lol

haha good stuff guys, i thought it cuts at around 210-215.

These posts killed me lol good stuff, make doing nothing at work less boring.

From an article I read a while back, a Mitsu engineer says the 3.5L stock-as-a-rock will max out at 256km/h, that is of course not possible with the limiters we have.

Limiters? I wasn't aware we had them? I took it 235k's in my TF before I started to run out of road :P

I wasn't aware we had speed limiters?

tf, 3ltr, 5 spd, stock - 240km/h all day and never missed a beat,
done in nt open speed limits, did have proof, but my camera got stolen by a usless
bastard on simpson barracks in melbourne.
thats speed limiter at 240, still have 500 rpm left to go in 5th.

I've got a program on my computer that can calculate the maximum top speed of a car with it's set gear ratio and rolling resistance, tyre size etc - will have a look tonight.

Cough**BULL******Cough

Unless of course if you have proof?
Mine's not stock anymore. Just delimit your thing and uprate the fuelpump, modify the injectors and use a German ECU. Then you will have all the proof you need. Takes almost forever to pull from 230 to 250 though, so I hope you have access to an airstrip like I did. Took a while to sort out the MAS though - stupid MMC idea that is!!
It wasn't too hard, but I've been playing with racecars for over 20 years now. I can't just leave things stock.
Sadly, the things not a patch on the Pulsar for top end.

i couldnt get my beast past 220 just didnt wanna go more

same with my old te... it used to just keep pulling :)

how did u delimit urs?
does germany have mitsubishi magnas...is that wat u mean by german ecu?

Guys don't forget the higher the speed the higher the error margin for the speedos. Sure your speedo might show 230+, but it doesn't mean the car is actually doing this speed. Proper speed measuring equipment is needed for an accurate reading.

My magna has never gone that fast

2000 was my top speed in a second gen.

2000 was my top speed in a second gen.

Engine speed? lol

2000 was my top speed in a second gen.

bahahahha lol

im tipping you have a magna Vtec running 10 turbos off the one manifold right???

So what you are saying is that you don't have any proof, right?

most of you guys are pulling urself:badgrin: ur car will cut out at 210kph like it or not. gps will not be wrong...doesnt matter what speed ur going..so stop bullcrapping us and urself.get your eyes checked. get some1 to take a picture of it and i might believe it. my car cuts out at 210kph just like every1 elses stock magna's

i've done 224 km/h in my stock TH (and thats why it's in a impound)

Just to clarify that was ment to be 200.

So what you are saying is that you don't have any proof, right?
Right, I don't have proof. I'm running an Apexi S AFC, Walbro 65psi fuel pump, 3.8l injectors and a 7th injector with a 70hp Zex 10oz setup. So OK, I cheated. And it took over 2kms to get it there. I just wanted it to run 1/2 as well as my Nissan Pulsar, but it won't. I will probably return it to stock before I shatter the dodgy Mitsubishi transmission (not a MMAL strongpoint, autos), so back to the 210km cutout. I'll go back to playing with the much more rapid Pulsar, and keep this as my daily. Nissans are so much easier to modify, thanks to Nismo. Pity Ralliart aren't as supportive of the whole range.

What down a hill?? cops raidar's can be just as wrong as ur speedo's (they dont like to admitt it tho) so ur saying ur TH magna didnt cut out until 224 kph??

my raliyart has a tpo s[ped of 326km/h i no cose i test it wit shell v-power.

My tj 2002 did go more than 215 i can tell you that for sure i had to uy a new instrument cluster it wouldnt return back to 0, It stayed at 230 kays and it costed me $150 for a second hand speedo. It now tops out at 200 @ 5200 rpm but now has a reco box.

THIS WAS AT THE HOBART AIRPORT RUNWAY 2

I was having a gander at some car vs car tests the other day, (XR8 v Ralliart, HSV of some description v random other "performance car" etc etc) and I reckon i saw that the standard 3.5L VRX speed cuts at 213km/h and the ralliart at around 235km/h. I'll see if i can find it again, I think it was on Drive.com or something...

where the hell do u guys get private property thats flat and fcuking massive enough for you guys to hit that speed. me wanna go

Ralliart is limited to 240km/h by the tires. Not sure on other models.

DOes anyone else with the stock 15s find that at about 140-150 your car starts to shake? Highest Ive taken my TF to is 160 and by then the car was shaking a bit so I backed off.

yeh mine gets wobbles from 130 to 150, then it smoothes out :)

DOes anyone else with the stock 15s find that at about 140-150 your car starts to shake? Highest Ive taken my TF to is 160 and by then the car was shaking a bit so I backed off.

It's probably got nothing to do with the wheels being stock 15's. Much more likely a balance or alignment issue.

yeh shaking is usually a balancing issue... ralliarts limited to 240km/h...

i had no dramas with my original 15's till it got wet and aqua planned through a forest. but no shaking, car sat real smooth. that was at my top speed, i claim 240 as that what speedo read out, and it seems accurate anough cause it matched what i got clocked at on saturday doing 120, but no shaking at any stage.

Went up to my rents shack at Pt Hughes with some mates found a straight road with my mate in the drivers seat so we decided to gun it, the speed limiter kiked in at 210km i was surprised and so was my mate, he can only gets his mum and dads cars up to 180km.......... well they are fords:bowrofl:

What down a hill?? cops raidar's can be just as wrong as ur speedo's (they dont like to admitt it tho) so ur saying ur TH magna didnt cut out until 224 kph??

THe ones mounted in the cars can be but if he got hit by a stationary gun then I think its fair to say its accurate. The guns are like 99.3% accurate (or something like that i know its 99 point something)

Got mine to 235kph according to the speedo but doubt that its that accurate. Oh well

On a private road BTW!

135-140 it shakes but fades out above 160ish just dont have a roo jump out and u need to hitt the brakes they dont like that

LMAO. Funniest stuff.

Umm how bout everybody argues this point? Does the Magna cut out at 210km/h or not?

And TL-R, dude settle down. Have you driven this blokes car? No. So you'd have no idea how fast it goes. Read what he said. His removed the limiter, hence, allowing it to go FASTER!

Read what he said.

I did read what he said. The point i was making is that he (and others) could SAY anything they like, but producing proof is something else entirely.

using LPG i have sat at 220 for about 20 seconds and it didn't "cut" or anything. just sat there.. woulnd't go any further.

i'd like to try with petrol now.. but just gotta find the right place

Ralliart is limited to 240km/h by the tires. Not sure on other models.
Ralliart is electronically limited at 240km/h as stated by mitsu. I have a dvd where they tested the best sport cars of 2002 and it shows the ralliart reaching 240 at which point it cuts out.:cry:

From memory the tyres are good up to 270km/h. (the pirelli's)

my tyres are speed rated to 270km/h

the driver is speed rated to 102km/h :bowrofl:

my speedo goes up to 240kmh as does most 3rd gens and the ralliart can do that so thats cool

but wtf is it with the tacho and the 9000rpm that it goes up to.... was there a plan to relase a 3rd gen magna with a rotor...


magna with monster rice tacho as standard lol

LMAO. Funniest stuff.

Cheers for that. And if you still have access to that DVD or know the name of it I'd be very interested in getting a copy!

Could this by any chance be the Motor 'Performance car of the Year 2003' DVD?

(That is, PCOTY performed early 2003 for cars released in 2002).

If so, they did a top speed run in a red Ralliart Magna at Avalon and from memory hit the limiter.

Edit: Rolliart, if this is the dvd and you cannot provide Disciple with a copy, I should be able to.

What down a hill?? cops raidar's can be just as wrong as ur speedo's (they dont like to admitt it tho) so ur saying ur TH magna didnt cut out until 224 kph??


Wasn't down hill it was on the M5 just before liverpool. When it cut out it lost 40k's

My partner got my Wagon to 205kmh.

I doubt it would make it to 180kmh these days.

i got my old TH up to about 205kmh before i ran out of road. the previous owner had said it cut out at 210kmh.

my r33 skyline i got up to about 240kmh (6500rpm in 5th gear, rev limiter is 7500) before it got to a point where it was accelerating really slow, and it has 300hp. up to about 220-230 wasn't a problem, it was just like it was going from 130-140, but once it got to 240 it just sat there and was SLOWLY creeping up, then i ran out of road (about 1.5km from standing start (although i didn't floor it till i got to 100kmh) to when i hit the brakes.

i can verify that all regular magnas are speed limited to 210kph although the actual indicated speed was closer to 220kph on the dial.... still pulling like a 14yo reading playboy, at around 4500rpm in 5th where the hasrh cut kicked in... done legally of course at calder
