200 miles an hr??????

[earlybill1]

OK I've been watching YouTube videos on 1.6 sohc vtec turbos and alot of them have gauges that there needle is going well over 200 miles an hr even going to where no numbers are like past 220 .... so how are they doing that on sohc didn't think that was possible. Maybe I'm wrong and wherefore I get gauges that register 220 of course I'm building my d16 but that's on down the road so please someone tell me if this is really possible thanks

Your most likely looking at a gauge reading kilometers

Mine topped out at about 130-135mph(according to the speedo) in 4th, when I would switch to 5th I couldn't go any faster.

The MPH cluster only reads to 130.

He did say sohc, didn't he. Oh well. The article still gives a good idea of what it takes to make 200mph happen. OP was probably looking at clicks anyway, as others said.

200kmh is about 125mph. That is what you are looking at.
