is there any way that i can just take out the speed limit on my car ? it is limited to 115 or something like that , and im very upset, do i need to buy a new ecu ?

 

get an apexi rev/speed meter - it removes the limiter

im automatic, will it still work ?

 

yes

 

This came from SpringMax in a post a few months ago:
"Options to remove limiter:

Buy an SE ECU for the same year as your car from a junkyard $85 - $200
Buy some Unit Apex'i has for like $150 that removes it
Cut the speed sensor wire(don't recommend this)
Buy a Fields Fuel Controller ($220)"

 

What does the rev/speed meter hook up to? also does it display speed as well? does it do anything other than remove the governor?

 

will the apex'i unit have one of those cool guages that i can put on the pillar like in sx7's pics ? ive been looking to get something like that , just to make the car look REALLY FAST , and no , im not being a sarcastic ******* , im serious

 

waareagle, if you guy the speed sensor wire, the check engine light will come on.

sx7r, how does the apex unit work?

maximaR, are you sure you're speed limited? most autos i've seen have the security and convience package... if the car doesn't have the chrome exhaust finisher or variable intermittent wipers, then you probably have the limiter.

im pretty sure i am , i was on a highway racing well ,,, trying to catch , a mercedes , and i hit 112 or 115 and the rpms just dropped to like 2500... im not sure if it was just a gear shift of the limiter , but it felt like the limit, or it would have been one really bad shift ....

 

that's just about the worst way to find out!

i am aware ,,, after i hit the limit , or what appeared to be the limit , i backed off and babied it the rest of the way home ( about 65 mph )

 

I would really not recommend cutting any wires to get the limiter off. I think I remember reading on here somewhere that you can disconnect some plug somewhere and the limiter will be taken off as well as the speedometer. This is not as permanent as cutting wires. I dont know about the check engine light as I have never done it and never will. I know at least one person has done something similiar to this but I dont remember who.

 

it hooks up to a few wires off the ECU harness. it displays the speed, rpms, trip meter. there's various timers on there, it'll do 1/4 mile times, 0-60 times, and some others. i've attached a pic of what it looks like.
