Top speed for a LP Turbo engine?

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Fri Feb 15 04:29 CST 2002 [RELATED]

For 97 models, in U.S., I think the cars are electronically
limited to the max of the tire speed rating. Did the GLT's come
with V rated tires in 97 (good to 149 mph and I think Volvo caps
the car to 143 mph -- that is what they did on T5s in 98?)?

A T5 can peg the speedo at 140 MPH showing about 5100 RPM on
the TAC. I would think a LPT could get close to that speed,
too. What was your RPM at 125 mph?

Have you noticed the latest generation LPT engine is rated at
210 ft/lb torque? Thats only 10 shy of the original high
pressure turbos.
