Speed governor/limiter?
Im new to this forum as well as the car 99 se 5spd. I raced a buddy with a VR6 Jetta, and i took him... but only by half a car, now i know im not the best shifter in the world but. I should have been able to at least pull a car on him i think. But thats just the background story, My question is, how do i remove the speed limiter, i top out at 135, with some RPM to spare, about 500 to 100 speedo sais 140, id like to make that and much more happen.
Also, are there any no $ mods that i can do to make the car faster ? Ill get a full exhaust, and some other goodies later on right now i just cant spend money im barely making ends meet as is.

AFAIK SE's did not have a speed limiter. If you did you wouldnt be able to hit over 115mph.
Either a MEVI or 00VI along with a y-pipe should accomplish your goals of 140MPH + but for the safety of the community, please if your going to do it, find a SAFE place.

MEVI= Middle Eastern Variable Intake
00VI = Variable Intake off a 2000-2001 Maxima.
Basically our stock intake manifolds suck, we reach peak power at around 5500rpm then its a roller coaster ride down to the red line. with the variable intake you dont gain much peak power but your power after 5500rpm is greatly increased. Check the all motor forum for more info on it.
P.S Nice MK3, i had a 91 turbo but had to sell it due to insurence and maintenence costs.

You gain at least 15-20 HP minimum. HP keeps RISING after the normal peak on the USDM manifold.

Thnx Its going some major construction right now. I was thinking of doing 400hp + but now i have the biggest urge to do more. We'll see finances are limited, I put it on my moms name so inshurance is like $50 a month, but maintnance , yeah thats the killer. Thnx for the info ill def look into it.

Anything can be made fast. Maxima just isn't a preferable platform to start on. If you want fast then just got a nice RWD car so you can actually get the power to the ground. People usually upgrade their Max because it looks good, it is comfortable, cheap, hauls groceries, and then car tear up the nearest Civic, ITR, Neon, or even 350z if done correctly. It is basically taking the best of both worlds if you ask me.
350z ... $30,000
SRT-4 ... $20,000
Turbo-kit .... $5000
Look of someone's face when their 5.5 second car gets smashed by a 10 year old grocery-getter .... PRICELESS!!!

^^ yea, but if you get a 350z with turbo it might cost more, and it deff. will not be beaten by a turbo'd Max right?
Sorry, im just debating whether or not to get upgrades for the max when i get the 650$ my friend owes me, or to just save it for something else. (which i dont know what it is yet)
Do you think its only worth it when you have spare cash and nothing else to worry about?

Y-Pipe....the very restrictive pipe that connectes the two exhaust mainfold...replace with unrestricted parts...
Donate and Search /thread.....
AND U SHOULD have had 4 cars by 80

Don't even get me started with the full 3.5 swap Maxs. It shouldn't be a chance with the Z if you can get the tires to hook up.
Turbo is just a money game. Whoever put more money into building their engine and runs the biggest turbo with the most tuning wins .... plain and simple.

eitherway i went to a junk yard and asked if they have a intake mani off a 01 max, they found a 00. Now do i need UPPER mani and/or Lower ? also how tha HECK do you remove the manifold, i just looked at it today and it looks like a NIGHTmare to work on this thing.
#22
If you have 20bucks to spare just donate and search. That will be your best friend. As far as the manifolds it all depends on how you want to get it going. Some guys just use the upper and some use the upper and lower manis. Jst to get you started try the ALL MOTOR somewhere in the stickies about the 00VI. Better yet if you need something thats more of a bolt on there is a MEVI up for sale in parts for sale.
PS: IF you decide to use just the upper i understand there is a bit of a modification to be done. Well eitheer way there is a modification to be done but there is more hands on work when just using the upper.

i agree with maxima92se, using the search feature will help A LOT!! There is so much info here. MEVI is pretty much a direct bolt on but the 00vi needs some fab work and a bit of know how. In my opinion the 00vi is not worth the hassle. MEVI + JWT ECU w/7200 rev cut is what i would look into if i had the money.
