Who knows, its not very often you go there anyway. Speedo's are inaccurate as well of course. | |

Yea, that is the factory top speed, but I have heard from a few people that they do go a bit more than that... Phase 4 would be even more helpful :D | |

152mph is factory top speed for the Calibra, I think the Cav turbo is less due to the poorer aerodynamics. | |

If you have the power to get to the limiter in 6th its a fair bit more than 160mph. | |

The point in the 6 speed is really to have closer ratio gears to get good aceleration but still keep the top speed though. | |

A 6 speed will top out somehwere near the 160mph mark and the 5 speed will top out at around 145-150mph... | |

The 6 speed is much better. The 5 speed might not last very long, the 6 speed will let you cruise at lower revs, which is good and keeps you off boost at higher speeds which is obviously good for fuel economy. | |

You can do it. But you will need to swap just about ever part over other than the head, block, crank and valves. It ain't easy and apparently you get a lower power engine at the end of the day. Your better off spending the couple of hundred to get the LET up to scratch again. | |

I dudes ive just bough a cav turbo with a bad knocking on number4 cylinder and a missfire on same cylinder,also when dipstick is removed pressure in crankcase,im assuming piston or rings problems. |
