top speed - Pugmarshall - 08-10-2012
When legal, and safe, how fast have you gone in your Dturbo?
This isn't a chav thread, genuinely curious. When I first got my Dturbo it would do 115 on 14" wheels, now it won't go over 105 on 15"s! I have a serious boost leak, running 7psi, so I'm guessing that's why?
I have access to a closed airfield.

135.
More fuel and higher boost needed.
Mine never used to go over 90 standard.
RE: top speed - Danny2009 - 08-10-2012
I've had 120 then looked down and realised the speed but I was on a bigger blower
RE: top speed - Dum-Dum - 08-10-2012
In a standard one 120 was the fastest (and got pulled over for doing that) the tuned one I never pushed top end cos Ive largely grown out of that.
Top speed really isnt much of a measure of performance though on these its all about 30-70 or 0-100.
Oh and to add if this thread gets silly / chavy im gonna lock its ass
RE: top speed - Dicky - 08-10-2012
127mph downhill on the M4
RE: top speed - Ricky - 09-10-2012
I would be too scared of blowing it up! I don't go above 70 in mine, when it works.
RE: top speed - David - 09-10-2012
iv blown a turbo and i think i pooed my boxers when it went lol.
RE: top speed - gurj306 - 09-10-2012
in my 1st one i got 115mph in wales but the one i got now done 100 but dont want to abuse it as its on 200k

About the same which was 129 on GPS
RE: top speed - 1616six - 09-10-2012
Surely the gearing would top it out before 135? Either that or the speedo wasnt overly accurate?!

The gearing will put them out of their optimum powerband, but with the correct modifications you can still make enough power up high in the rpms to continue to a higher top speed
Phils (ie. my old dt) was fairly capable of pulling well past 5k, and iirc 5k in 5th on a Dt is 135.... Not that I ever tried for top speed in the Dt.... 
RE: top speed - Dum-Dum - 09-10-2012
I think Mark has a HDi box anyway IIRC which is 131mph at 4500rpm
RE: top speed - CJ_Derv - 09-10-2012
Please dont close this thread mr officer
Ive had about 125 but bottled it lol and like others have said its not all about top speed its how fast it gets there. but would be awesome to be able to sail past 120 to keep up with these modern cars lol
RE: top speed - kernow_joe - 09-10-2012
71 mph its not about top speed but how quickly you can get there!
tbf I never went that fast top end in my dturbo probably around 110 never pushed it that hard, its more fun going round corners fast
RE: top speed - bayley - 09-10-2012
mine only does 105mph at 23psi but i have got 205/60/13 capri wheels on but it gets their very quick...it did do 117mph on the standard 14" wheels.thinking of dropping a hdi gear box on with a stage 1 fast road clutch,should be a better top end around 125 mph.
RE: top speed - the milkman - 09-10-2012
i would just like to point out that the speedo is never 100% spot on anyway so unless you got good gsp/sat nav ect hard to tell
RE: top speed - Ben - 09-10-2012
Yes by the time your over 100 the speedo could be quite far out!
RE: top speed - the milkman - 09-10-2012
just stated this ben
RE: top speed - Pompey306mark - 09-10-2012
Mine was 132 by say nav. And gets there quick enough, for most people.
RE: top speed - karl1989 - 09-10-2012
110 with a T2. slowed down when i seen speed
RE: top speed - Matt - 09-10-2012
186. Vertical drop, a mile long.
RE: top speed - Ruan - 09-10-2012
128mph GPS indicated, 135 on the speedo.
Down a hill, with a tail wind and a fart.
Promptly air locked the head, boiled the coolant over etc....
RE: top speed - Ben - 09-10-2012
So you did milkman, I did not notice!
RE: top speed - Pugmarshall - 09-10-2012
I'm fully aware it's not really a good indication of performance.
The reason I ask is because whilst I was on this closed airfield my mate was losing me pretty quickly, and his is on a 100% standard Lucas pumped Dturbo and he claims he just touched 120.
I believe that Ruan! Mine was at 100deg so I gave up!
RE: top speed - Jonny81191 - 09-10-2012
Nearly 2x the national limit...
RE: top speed - Dum-Dum - 09-10-2012
The GTi6 shows 133mph on the limiter in 5th, and then theres 6th gear to go............

Isn't it 167 with a raised rev limiter on the sc lot?
RE: top speed - Dum-Dum - 09-10-2012
Yeah, a standard 6 wont even get off the clock though

As said, this was safe and legal. Well, as safe as 3-figure speeds can be in an 18 year old Peugeot.

Mine will. Prob is a mile off of accurate by that point though.
My old DT STD on swollows T2@ 13psi lucus pulled 127 on GPS
My current one although iv never got to top speed feels like it wouldnt top much over 100. With 15s T2@ 20psi on lucus
