? How I can get rid of my speed limiter??
 

Is there a way to get the speed limiter taking off of my computer for my 01 Civic LX?

why the hell do you need to remove the speed limiter?? You dont need to go that fast

its there for a reason. your engine will wear faster. certain model civics arent meant to ge performance vehicles or go very fast. thats why the govenor is in there, thats why they are good on gas...

so if you want to go fast, drop in another engine that was meant to have real HP; a faster one. then an exhaust system (headers, and such) pulleys, cold air intake, nos, turbo charger, etc.

You can't just "take off your computer", but you can buy a piggyback type chip that will remove it.

just curious, what is your speed limiter set at?

on his car i think its set at 115 or 120, but yeah just swap your engine for something with V-Tech and for now dont worry about the govenor, you arent gonna get that fast in most races anywhoo.

lol, like anyones civic stock would see 115, i never have, has anyone else?

yeah....there's a thread about breakin' the 120 or 130 mph...i think its in the Off-Topic forum..or here...i'm too lazy to check

I have broken 115 with my stock 01 Civic LX ! No Lie ! i have no reason to be spreading lies. i like speed very much so i have the speeding tickets to prove it. Just ask Shot 2 Hel he has rode with me before. Ive mellowed out a lil bit cuz of my tickets.

well ive broken 115 too...and you know I really dont want to do it again, it was really dumb of me but I won $100 bet.

Getting a ticket for going THAT fast is wreckless driving and you can lose your license...I really suggest you dont go that fast...but if you still wanna be dumb then get a piggypack computer to override the ECU, Id suggest Hondata but I dont think they make one for your ecu

i hear you get arrested for going that fast

Around here you WILL go to jail for that.

mines set at 117mph and i've hit it i'd say about 20 times, easy, i fifth gear no less at about 3000rpm and now i got a new chip but i need a tach before i start testing stuff if ya know what i mean

i have had my car to almost 125, BUT i think my speedo generaly reads 3-5 mph higher

please stop providing false imformation... thanks..

I hit about 123-124 tops in a 2000 EX. Dunno exactly where the cut off point is though, but im sure its right around there.

i've had it over 110 the 1st day i got it..then i had to slow down cause of a huge corner,

115 is all i pushed to so far, though i woulda thought i would have been restricted before that...

You could eliminate the speed governor if you could find the bytes in the firmware of the ecu that control it and change them. Any electronic engineers out there?
