    Don't get me wrong.. I highly do not recommend doing this. You can see it was near redline, and it was very floaty at that speed.. but it did do it.

    I know , even 120 km/h is a lot but with your SC i think you can maintain 100+ all day long !!!

    It can.. but the oil temperatures get high in its stock form. I would recommend an oil cooler for anyone with a Kei truck/van who is going to go on the highway often.

    How do you monitor your oil temp ?

    You would need to install an oil temperature gauge and a sensor for it. There are a few ways to do it, but I personally used an oil filter sandwich plate for mine.

    Mine does 70 mph, but it's not comfortable. 94 sambar en07 carbed close to 100k km.

    My Carry would wind out around 110 KMH, it had a little more in it, but I only pushed it past 100 KM/H a handful of times. 95 KMH was fast enough

    I had mine up to 84mph/135kph on Monday and it probably has more in it but it feels so wrong at those speeds. With bigger tires it feels stable enough but the wind and mechanical noise is super loud and the force of the wind is making the upper parts of the doors vibrate.

    1993 Supercharged manual trans converted to turbo making ~50% more power.

    Wow, what kind of turbo ?
    Do you have a custom ECU ?

    RHB31/VZ21 turbo and I'm using a Dynojet power commander piggyback on the stock ecu.

    I tried using a sandwich plate but I couldn't fit the oil filter back in, it had too much diameter. How did you fit yours on? Is there more space between SC vs carb? Either way, I ordered a relocation kit and cooler.

    I don't know that the cooler is 100% needed. I took some oil temp readings on my truck after a 70mph, 30 mile trip. It was right at 240f. Outside air temps were around 90f. That's a tiny bit high but nothing to be concerned about. Modern synthetics have no problem running as high as 300f.

    I am not entirely sure what you mean by having too much diameter? is the sandwich plate not fitting flat on the pump housing?

    Reminds me why I bought a Jimny.. I can do 100 KM/H, and punch it and get more out of it fairly quick. I cruise at 90 KPH at ~5kish RPM. It's buzzing but the Jimny's turbo variant of the F6A redlines at 7k

    With 5300 rpm at 100 km/h, the Sambar feel really good ! I think the redline is close to 7500 rpm on our engine

    Yep, Redline is 7250 on the EN07
