Is there any way to remove the speed limiter while keeping use of the speedometer and tach? I read that if I cut the Yellow w/ green stripe wire at the ECU, the limiter would disappear, but it’s still there. Any ideas? ---

why would you want to go over 180km/h anyway? ---

Actually, its 185.07km/hr give or take depending on tread wear. There are some times when we are on private roads and trying a top speed run. right? ---

hehehe i know i’ve hit 230…hehehe To access this sensor, jack up the car, et on your back(i’m sure you are familure with this position 😛 ) and cut the sensor at the top by the shifter at the back of the tranny…Gone no more speed sensor ---

I was under the impression that that is all that is required but I’m being told that you need to put in a switch on one of the ECU wires so you can go past 180km but your speedo won’t work. ---

No speedo, no odo, no cruise control, and your engine may cut out intermittently. ---

And i can say without a doubt that the cr has been well psast 200kph and has read that. So do what you want, my speedo works but i dont have cruise so i dunno and the motor never cuts out Cheers ---

The best way to try it out is plug in an Auto ECU and give it a whirl. ---

yes you still have a revlimiter ask jantos he’s running an auto ecu…just for somereason mine revs out to 8000+ i don’t know why. and speed cut i dunno, i don’t feel like jacking the car 3 feet in the air and connecting the 5th gear sensor to find out if i don’t have a speed cut ---

I don’t know about S13’s, but my understanding of the auto S14 is that the signal goes from the auto tranny to the odo, speedo, etc, and then to the ECU where there is a speed limiter on the ECU, not a rev limiter. I just have to cut the signal wire leading to my ECU, and voila! no more electronic speed limiter.

Okay maybe I wasn’t clear in my first post. An auto ecu doesn’t have a rev limiter, it has a speed limiter. A 5 speed ecu has both a rev limiter and a speed limiter. ---

> [@s14\_2Nv](#): > > An auto ecu doesn’t have a rev limiter, it has a speed limiter. Wrong. I have an Auto 1991 S13, brought my car to 200+km/h my previous 5spd would only do 190±2 because it would hit the speed limiter.
