hey i was reading the FAQ about removing the speed limitor on my gxe, and was wondering how many ppl have dont this?? i was gonna put in a switch when i cut the wire but was wondering...

can i use the switch on the fly? or do i have to stop turn off car, turn swtich, etc


anyoen that has this done please post up!! thanks

 

Good question.

All the switch does is open the circuit between the speed sensor and the ecu. Flipping the switch while driving is the same, as far as the ecu is concerned, as if the speed sensor had failed. You will get the code but it will not affect drivability. (except that you now speed "unlimited")

 

ahhh i see

 

Don't speed.

 

Ive got it done to my car

edit: thanx to an uber cool jDm TyTe moderatah that knows his shat!

 

 

listen to this man

 

125mph is fast enough, enjoy it.

 

Well, I can't break 115 with my limiter on.

 

You can do it on the fly. You won't get a CEL unless you leave the switch flipped for an extended period of time. If you only do it for 20 seconds to outrun that crazy person with the gun who is chasing you threatening your life, you won't get a CEL

 

What's the probability that 20 seconds is enough time to find out the top speed after going over the "limit" or enough time for getting away from the crazy person.

If limiter is set at 115 mph and the crazy person was driving my old car he'd catch up ('90 mazda 626)

 

geez this is great coming from a nyer, everytime i take the west side highway yall going like 90-100 have to gun it jsut to stay with traffic

 

Since were on the subject....

Can you just place an ECU from a 5spd SE or GLE with no problem or is there, concerns because of the diffrent options with each model? There are very few times I can see myself going over 115 but if I am missing out on an extra 30+mph I still want that option.

 

Schematically the engine control system is the same for SE, GXE and GLE. There is only one wiring diagram in the FSM. The only difference, in the case of the GXE, the ecu uses the speed sensor input to limit top speed.

I have had three different ECUs in my car from both SE and GXE models and there are no drivability differences.

 

Thanks for the answer

 

Anyone have a 99 SE ECU for sale, checked the for sale forums no such luck.

 

I'm glad you like it.

 

I'm going to have to ask you to shut up. Thankyou for your cooperation.

EDIT: btw I'm just joking around not trying to be mean :P

 

ROFL! I was just being a wise ***(typical NYer behavior) You gotta fly down the West Side as soon as you get off its all stop, hardly any go. Makes for good time!

 

yeah i know i normally would be flooring it but lately i been trying to get better gas milage sine im broke and drivin to ny doesnt help cant be easy on the pedal in the city

 

hey i thought u have to bypass the speed sensor to install the long travel rear strut mounts
