Gearing limited top speed for 05 STi?

trbolvr · 01-20-2007, 12:36 PM

I have searched for this on here and Google with no results. I am wanting to know what speed an 05 Sti would do at 7000 rpm in 6th with the stock wheel and tire setup. (Obviously speed governor removed.) Also, what RPM are you at when you hit the speed governor? Thanks

luSTI · 01-20-2007, 12:55 PM

Should be ~176mph.

trbolvr · 01-20-2007, 12:58 PM

I am not saying it is a good idea to go that fast but has anyone on here actually hit redline in 6th.

Out in the midwest through New Mexico my 05STI was at 6800-6900rpm on the stock tach. We were GPS'd on our boost phones at 168mph but was probably right at 170mph as it doesn't get updated every second.

This was also with 3 people in the car including myself.

Your EGT must be running really hot at the speed for a longe period of time.

How much HP do you put down? Is that possible with a AP and Turboback?

bgod · 01-20-2007, 05:04 PM

On that run I was with my stock tmic, AP protuned to 319whp, 20gtdo58cm.

With an AP and turboback, not sure. I don't see why not as I was still pulling slightly.

mxpop · 01-20-2007, 09:54 PM

So it takes 360/370 (your sig power) to go 170?

Nope as my post stated above I was at 319whp during that run.
I would think the a well tuned stage 2 set-up should have no problems getting up to that speed, probably just a tad bit slower then having an upgraded turbo.

Once I get my AP next week, I'll see what I top out at on the autobahn. In a few more weeks I'll go to stage 2 and do the same run. It certainly doesn't take long to hit the limiter stock, that's for sure. I'll video it too.

I was just reading the aero thread in the nasioc motorsports forum and there is a chart that estimates HP and top speed in an STi....don't remember what was needed for 170 mph.

I achieved 172.9 in the standing mile during the www.texasmile.com event. I was making 426awhp on a dyno-dynamic with pump gas and alk injection. When I went througn the timing lights, my tach showed 7.1-7.2k. When you figure gearing and redline, your supposed to be able to attain 176, as mentioned above.

So you're only mod will be the AP? I'd like to see what the outcome will be as I was also wondering what a stock STi (with only the AP to remove the governor) could do in terms of top speed.

I did just put a cat-back on...but that is pretty minor.

170 sounds acurate, can anyone figure out what mph in 6th I could hit at 8500 rpm on the 06 sti gearing.

***Crewchief*** · 01-23-2007, 04:47 AM

I was at a little over 6800 rpm's when i did that (see avatar.) About 3/4 inch past the 160 mark. That was really fast, lol.
