The Great Speed Limiter Debate: CLOSED
 

After taking a look at the ECU files B3hla had done I was able to determine that there was indeed, no vehicle speed limitation put into any OBDI SVX that was sold inside the US. The JDM models did though. at 182km/h.

Honestly there actually is a speed limiter in all SVXi... BUT it is set to 510km/h so I HIGHLY doubt anyone should feel "restricted". I am going to try and dump an OBDII soon to check on that but I can only imagine I would see the same thing.

Good information. So are these cars top speed 143? Ive seen that number in quite a few places. And is there any difference when you add a manual tranny into the picture?

Re: The Great Speed Limiter Debate: CLOSED
 

I intend to test this number at some point! That's only 318 MPH, do-able.

510km/hr is appauling, i feel that someone is enfringing on my personal rights! Nice work man.

you think they were setting the bar a little high? maybe with some 18's...:barf:

How dare they......

my speed limiter sat in the passenger seat. there were audible and physical warnings. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/imag.../blankface.gif

So, did you guys figure out how to remove it yet?

Correct, the speed limiter is only present on JDM SVXes.

Even more good news: The USDM models are missing the part of the program that cuts the engine, so even when you do reach 510km/h it won't cut out. :D

Feel free to set that limit to any speed you like. It will have no effect on a non-JDM car.

I felt it necessary to change it from 180 on my black JDM 92. ;):D

~112 mph limiter? jeez....

That's standard for most Japanese vehicles.

just something else for them to mod (out) ~

Re: The Great Speed Limiter Debate: CLOSED
 

Does the 1992 JDM svx has speed limiter in it? i heard they werent fitted in the 92 versons???? ive never taken my JDM over 100kms cause my diff was stuffed.
and wat happens when the limiter on an JDM is reached?

Re: The Great Speed Limiter Debate: CLOSED
 

OK, so barring that we have two remaining speed limiters:

* (Power vs.) Drag limited
* RPM fuel cut + gearing + tire circumference

Whadaya think?

Here's a calculator to figure out this part. http://www.pcvsoftware.net/applet.html
I'm guessing the HP/Drag will have more of a limit.
