Hello everyone!
I'm trying to find out how to get rid of the speed limiter on my 97 civic dx (d16y7). I know there are some kind of ecu modifications possible to do this but are there any other ways of doing this? I max out at 192km/h in fourth gear and the same in 5th gear. I really would like to fix this so that I can reach a better high speed. Any recommendations?
Thanks

Reprogram your ECU.

 

why do you need to go that fast?

 

:slap: 1st off it's called a rev-limiter and yes you will have to reprogram your ecu or use a piggy-back like an apexi v-afc.

 

What mods have you got?
Does your car continue to accelerate at 120 mph?
If not, removing the speed limiter/governer isn't going to help.

 

I agree, 120 is pretty fast, you also may just be running up against an aerodynamic barrier. There's also no logical reason to be going that fast. Seeya.

 

are you actively trying to kill yourself?

 

"1st off it's called a rev-limiter and yes you will have to reprogram your ecu or use a piggy-back like an apexi v-afc." << I have a rev limiter but I want to keep that. What I really want to remove is the speed limiter. I'll explain. In fourth gear I hit what I believe to be the rev limiter @ around 6300rpm and 192km\h. After that if I shift into 5th it will still cut out at 192km\h and a lower rpm. Therefore there is also a speed limiter. In order to protect my engine I still want my rev limiter but want to remove my speed limiter. My car is a 97 civic DX coupe with too many suspension and brake mods to list so it is very stable at high speeds. I'm currently building a custom T25 turbo kit with s-afc, 450cc DSM injectors with resistor box, fuel pump and a MSD BTM Ignition so I will have enough power to actually use my 5 th gear. My problem is that with the speed limiter still there... my 5th gear is useless.

Will the s-afc remove this speed limiter? or do I really have to reprogram my ECU? If so then where can I get this done.
Thanks again!

Why not??
