Ok, I just thought of this. I havent had time to go home and look at any wiring diagrams yet so bear with me.

I have bypassed the limiter on my car by unplugging the speed sensor from the tranny. This works fine except for the lack of speedo and odometer function.

The way I understand it is this, the speed sensor signal goes into the ECU and then out to the speedo. Could the ECU be taken out of the loop? Just cut the wire or install a jumper directly from the speed sensor to the speedometer. As long as the ECU doesnt "interpret" the signal before it goes to the speedo, this might work.

Does anyone know one way or the other?

I'll give this a try when I get home and report results...

 

yes please.. i will be waiting .. nail biting and all

 

Good luck.

 

May the NOS be with you

 

Great, I guess I'm the guinea pig again.

heh heh..."I live my life one quarter pounder at a time.."

 

do it

 

Yes, keep us posted.

 

check general forum

 

According to diagrams in the factory service manual, signals from the Vehicle Speed Sensor are used to control ignition and fuel mixture. If this is so, your engine will not run well without the VSS signal. Don't be surprised to see that annoying Check Engine Light with Diagnostic Trouble Code 0104.

 

I tried this back in '96 and the Check Engine light does indeed light. The second thing is that cruise control no longer works.

What would the new "uncontrolled" limit be if you do unplug the sensor? How many MpH more are you really pushing out of it?

 

It works. Read my post in the general forum. No drivability problems so far. Th elimiter was set at less than 120mph...I just went almost 140 last night, so there is a little more to go.

I've only ever really cursed the limiter twice in the past. Once, I was running on I-285 in ATL with this other max, an SE, and he kept leaving me behind. Another time I was racing a modded integra on the freeway adn I would pull on him a little until I hit the damn limiter and then he would be gone.
