How is the top speed regulated for a stock evo? Drag limited? Or is it cutoff at a certain rpm? What is the topspeed of a stock evo? I have an evo 8 with 400whp. What is the top speed of it assuming I redline it at 7,500 rpm in 5th gear?

I read that already. The FQ400 has 400 crank hp so about 350 to the wheels. Top speed of 175Mph. Drag limited? Rpm limited? Or ecu limited. That is what I want to know.

 

Just take a drive. If you hit rev limit easily in top gear yur gear limited. This is the case with my X. If your rpms hit a brick wall in the middle of your power band then it's governor. If you can't figure this out because you run out of road then you are power/aero limited or just not really trying.

 

Yeah I am trying to avoid 157MPH on my local highway lol, I am just curious to know.

 

It's ECU limited and can be removed with ECUFlash.

 

Well I have my car tuned.

 

Just give it a try..... You might like it
If GSP pulls you over just tell them I said it was cool.

175mph comes at 7500rpm for the stock EVO 8.

175mph comes at 7500rm for the stock EVO 9

192mph at 7500rpm with the 4.11 EVO 8

so to answer it is rpm limited.

 

considering you have a standard tire height of course

 

The stock tune limits the top speed to ~310 mph. Might as well be any number.

 

I've had mine over 175, unless I have different gearing this is incorrect. Yes this was on a closed section.

 

sorry meant 165mph on the EVO 9.

could be gearing or tire diameter or even speedo error as they are rarely accurate and they almost always read at a higher speed.

the mph/rpm chart is listed at several websites and i took the info straight from the chart.

 

Mine is limited to under MACH 1.
