i dont think there is one i have taken my EP3 up to 133 withgout a problem and the only place the limiter would be at is in the ecu andto change thtqa just get hondata

 

your car is only gonna go as fast as the trannsmission is geared

 

most hodna tranny's will take you to 145-150 easy if you have the power to push it that far.

 

and a somewhat decent shaped clutch that can hold the power needed to get you there as well

 

so you are swapped? I know that nowhere in America was a B16 placed in any 98 civic. Are you obd1?

 

BTW

1st----3.250---0000/6800---34.8mph
2nd---1.761---3685/6800---64.3mph
3rd----1.172---4526/6800---96.9mph
4th----0.909---5274/6800---124.5mph
5th----0.702---5251/6800---161.3mph

Si/EX
1st----3.250---0000/7200---35.2mph
2nd---1.900---4209/7200---60.2mph
3rd----1.250---4739/7200---91.6mph
4th----0.909---5236/7200---125.9mph
Choose your 5th
5th----0.702---5560/7200---163.0mph
5th----0.750---5941/7200---152.6mph
5th----0.771---6107/7200---148.4mph

And the stock B16A transmission will allow around 140mph topping out your rev range

 

As for the turbo lag (forgive me if im a little late on the subject) i saw a write up in i believe honda tuning or import tuner (or maybe mod mag) where a guy looking to reduce turbo lag and introduced a low powered nitrous system. I think it was 30-50 HP set up used on the track or street. They claim, when set up right, "harmless to the engine" and used until the turbo spools. As far as i can tell, this is a pretty fast way to reduce that lag.

 

Turbo lag can be adjusted for by changing you piping sizes and using the correct turbo. Of top of that on a light fwd car(e.i. a civic) you do not want power below say 3000rpm as it will be next to impossable to get traction, look at turbo lag as traction control of sorts. The way weight moves and leans a car you simply do not want alot of tq down low on a light fwd car.
