When i first got my 94celi st i decided to push its limits and topped it at 115. Then i put in a custom cold air intake thats almost to the floor
 . and my friend had a performance muffler sitting around so i convinced him to let me have it and had it put on  . after that i ran it again. It ran great. But it wouldnt go over 120mph!!!  after it reaches 115 it feels like i'm down shifting. and after it goes down to about 110 and starts to go up to 120 and it starts that down shift feeling again. I checked the revs and its only at 4.5 on 5th gear. Whats wrong with my engine??? By the way i have a stock 7A-FE engine.

i have hit the limiter
the car could have gone atleast 15mph faster as it was still pulling until the fuel cut(1500 more revs till redline and it was only 20 mph into 4th gear). evilspeedtoe is gonna find a way to disable it. btw i have an auto -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

it depends also by the tire you've on....for sure if you've 185 you'll go faster than a 215....maybe about 15mph more!

ST's do go that fast and even faster!!! but as far as what tires i run, I have 17" rims w/ 215 hp rating on them. I didnt think that it made a difference what size my tires were. and if your wondering they are at stock height right rite now.(i'm puting new shocks and coils after i work my a$$ off during spring break.) -------------------- Chris Malaqui

Shouldn't that be the other way around ?, the larger the wheel the more ground covered on each rotation, speedo undereads and the limiter kicks in at a point where the car is travelling faster..... |

with the limiter I don't know...in Italy the Celi don't have speed limiter.....as you say the limiter will cut at a certain point which should be in function of the tumbling of the wheel....

right on the nose the bigger the wheel the bigger the outside diameter will be on the tire, thus more distance will be traveled per rotation and the speedo will under read the car's speed but not by too much if u go from the stock 14 on ST's to 16's. 17's will be off even more but that will also slow down the car's acceloration and im sure that no one wants that -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
