Dont wanna sound like a dick but search and also if you do that your more likely to kill yourself. I just need to ask.......why?

 

yeah i was going to say search.

and i have the same question... is there really a need to remove it? messing with electronics in cars sucks and i dont think its worth risking messing shit up so you can race your friends civic at 130mph.

but welcome to the boards!

 

What if he wants it off for track use? I'll be taking mine off if the SR20 has one on its ECU, I still have to search, granted mine will be track only and the main course being built here is fast and open (same designer as Infineon) Z06's are expected to hit 180's on the straight, so I would expect an SR20 to get well past its limiter on a track like that.

Although, that could be n00b in me talking, I have some more research to do.

***** please, you've made the commute from mizzou to STL, and you don't want your speed limiter removed?

you can cut wires (search), but i'm pretty confident that stops your speedo from reading. but... automatic ECU will remove the speed limiter and raise the rev limiter. it rules.

man.... ive got going 115 on 70 and honestly it just scares me. but, i dont know if its more the speed or more the mysterious smoke that comes out my shift boot when i go to fast for too long...

i dream more of getting my cruise control fixed then going faster than 115.

 

if you get an sr just about any aftermarket tuned ecu will get rid of speed cut and speed cut happens at 115mph. so yeah we have already passed that at the drag strip by 1 mph and will be more this season so it is a very nice up grade.

well yeah i suppose if i had a track only car id probably remove it. what kind of track is it? i wish there were tracks in my area that were big enough that i could get going that fast.

i've wrapped the speedo down to the 6 oclock position on 70, no problems but then again, no mysterious smoke, either. going that fast certainly isn't necessity and obviously isn't the safest thing to be doing, but i think that if you own a car you should be able to drive it as fast as you want... you may never actually go over 115 but it'd be nice to have the option, wouldn't it?

 

i got my speedo stuck before :eek3dance sr20 5th gear 7200 rpm yeah it was fast 145-maybe 150 or a little over somewhere in there.

hey man... do you have your car at mizzou these days?

i'm actually back in saint louis this semester -_- i should be back down there in the fall, though. next time i come down that way i'll give you some advance notice though, you need to show me the good backroads

i like how weve completely hijacked this thread.

but definetly. i need to find them all again. i forgot about them over winter. i know of one though that is all you really need. 14 miles of pure turns, plus other roads to go down after that i havent explored

 

what's weather supposed to be like this coming weekend? my shit's on three cylinders right now (happens when it rains, it seems. it'll probably go away. i think i a.) need to rewrap my harness and put all the splashguards back on), but if i get it running right by the weekend, i might come down for a day to pick up some shit from my old dorm room/bullshit with the ex gf/FIND THEM BACKROADS!

 

don't get rid of the limiter unless you drag and have the ability to go more than 117mph in a 1/4 mile stretch..

 

How come the 240 was clocked at only 115 mph ?

 

Cause the 240 wasn't meant for racing. well that's what i think cause they didnt sell to good when they first came out, and u have to do a heart surgery to give it some pep. But who keeps there stock engines in most cars anyway?

 

are you guys kidding about not removing the limiter... i fuckin hatee e e that limiter.. it is more dangerous to me to have it. in my b13 sentra se-r they dont come with limiters. soon as i get in the 240 im cruzin down the highway and i dont know about other places but 680 580 205 if theres no traffic is an average of 80 to 90 mph and the some what faster drivers are about 100.. well long story short i get going down the freeway go to pass something or im going to be blocked in and all the sudden it just drops the rpm, at first i was scared that i broke something then i relized it was governd. i have it happen all the time i hit the governer on my ka about 5 times a day while driving on the freeway, and now my damn sr seems to have one, right at 5k in 5th gear. i truelllyy think its the gayest thing ever i hate the damn speed limiter and you guys that are scared to hit 115 got to be joking. im not saying that im a balls out race car driver but 115 is seriously barly passing cars on the freeway and shit

 

and plus im sorry i bought this car to DRIVE it, so thats what i do, thats what i put a sr in for. and NO I DO NOT LIKE GETING BEAT BY HONDAS AND FUCKIN FORD ESCORTS ON THE FREEWAY. im not saying i want to take it to 150 even... but when a shiter puls upside me and is tugging on my nutts if course im going to hit high boost then punch it, i figure by 130 hell have gotten the point and ill let off. but when a race starts at like 90mph and i only got to 115, pretty fuckin lame

 

chances are that any car that is slower than yours will have a lower top speed. hondas and escorts max out at or less than what the 240 maxes out at so you shouldn't worry about that. besides, your car is fast enough to end a race before you get to your top speed.

 

i agree with s13det - on long drives i can top out 4 or 5 times and it really pisses me off - i dont wanna be an ass drivin 150 all the time but there are times when you need to just open her up and when your cruisin at 100 mph - the extra 15 mph doesnt do much to quench my thirst for speed - anyway if anyone finds anything out, be sure to post it because I too am interested in ripping the damn thing out.

nah. my lebaron topped out at 125.

 

where i live, there's a long strip of highway that's all downhill. i've hit 140 with my v6 camry. it's not right when my camry can hit higher speeds than my 240sx. that's why i bought an auto ecu and a 180mph speedo. :thumbsup i'll test it out when i upgrade my suspension.

 

Apexi Rev meter does the job and has some other cool features I don't even care about. Last Friday my car shut down on the dyno at 123 mph and 6100 rpm in top gear. Once I had set the pulse and activated the SLC on the Rev meter I ran the car to 6700 in 5th on Tuesday morning. In addition, I had the chance to run with not one but 2 WRX's today. One on the way to work and one, a yellow wagon driven by a chick no less, on the way home. If my car had shut down they would've laughed at me. Luckily they didn't get to laugh.

you have no i dea what your talking about. a stock 240sx is extremely slow. my moms honda civic was faster and it tops out way higher. and dont generalize hondas

....what year/trim civic?

man, i gotta get one of those 180mph speedos, i'm tired of telling people "the needle goes to the six oclock position" when they ask my top speed.
