Does anyone know a good, relatively inexpensive mod i can do to get rid of this ? its not like its killing me really , cause im only on 130 mph rated tires, but still , im going to upgrade those one day, and i was just wondering if i could get it out of the way now while i am making some money...

 

I heard of people changing to the SE ECU away from the GXE ECU. I don't know if there are any negative effects.

 

Or contaqct mzmtg, a member here. He has devised a way to bypass the TCM, and you can drive above your speed limiter, however, I think a consequence is that you lose cruise control.

 

i think that would probably work , ill ask the dealer soon about that ... i would try the other way , if there is no loss of cruise control.

 

i'm just wondering if what you said is right.... you have a GXE and all you can do is 115??? are you sure? Mike's GXE kept up with us at 130 on the LIE.

 

yep , im possitive , i get to like 112 -115 and im not even really reving hard, and then it just shuts down...i drop back to like 100 ... it sucks ,,, maybe its really a GLE like the dealer told me, but i thought it was a gxe ,,,dont Gle's usually have like Gle badges on the back of them ? and leather ?

 

Here you go:
Speed limiter Removal


No loss of cruise control either. You will get a Check engine light after a while, so I wired in a switch.

 

thanks guys , but could getting a new ECU all together just save me that trouble ??

 

Is spending a couple hundred dollars worth the trouble...?? Not to me.

 

good point ... so how would i get rid of the engine light ??

 

The light only comes on after the wire is disconnected for a while, like 15 minutes. If you put a switch on it, then you can turn the limiter on and off when you need to. I doubt you are ever going to need to go over 115 for more than 15 minutes.

 

OHHHHHHH , thats awesome, sounds good ,, im gonna try it, i love having switches in my car too , i think they are cool ,,, haha ,, im looking for some guages too at the moment , but i cant think of any i actually need yet/
