I wanted to swap my 1995 gxe (manual) ECU with a stick 1995-1996 SE ecu. Here are my questions.
First - Is this possible?
Second - is it difficult to do?
Third - Any suggestions besides for junkyards where I could find a good deal on one?
Forth - Would having my ECU reprogrammed by one of those places I have read about on here be a better option than installing an SE ECU.
I hate my 120 mph top speed in the gxe and I have the set up to handle a higher top speed.
Also, what place could I send my ECU to that would give me the optimal top speed and hspwr gains?
I appreciate any help the knowledgeable can give.

Well gosh, you can just disable the limiter if you want to...

well, if I do that I have heard that you will be running the max with no speedometer or something. How do I do it without affecting any of my other equipment. i have never heard that you could do this without some drawbacks.

Ok, I got it...but is there any way to get rid of the check engine light? I mean, I am assuming that the check engine light is because of it detecting the cut wire. But once you reset it wont it just set it off again? I think i will do the mod regardless, so thanks. But I do still think it is sort of ghetto to drive around with the check engine light on, just because there is a purpose for it and it is sort of disabled if anything goes wrong that actually does matter.

Well, I think I will try this but can you send me details on how to wire in a switch? I think this would be the best bet instead of getting a whole new ecu. I wish there was a way to just get rid of the check engine light for that diagnosis. Oh well. I do however like this idea. I got the instructions on how to cut the wires from the previous post, but I would like to know how to wire the switch in. Thanks for your help.
