Those with a 300D Turbo Manual Conversion - Top Speed?
Has anyone with manual 300D conversions verified top speed with a GPS unit?
I'd like to see some top speed numbers. Anyone have numbers and proof? |

Depends on the rear end ratio more than anything.

At some point the final gear ratio is going to overwhelm the motor due to air resistance and inertia of the car so I was wondering what others were getting.

You are on the verge of over-thinking an irrelevant point......
![]() If 105 is the question, is 110 the answer? Are you near an Autobahn that we're not familiar with? ![]()

110mph give or take for any diesel 123 sedan without pump mods.

I did 110 in my NA euro. I have yet to hit that in the 85 as I have no pyro and am skeered. I have hit 100+ easy though.

Of course the 4-speed stick and 4-speed automatic are both 1:1 in 4th?
