6517, Speed Limiter Removal

LAST EDITED ON 07-Nov-01 AT 12:24 PM (PST)

Hey,

I read this article on removing the speed limiter out of a
2G-turbo. Here's the site address---http://www.dsm.org/how-tos/speedlimiter.htm--- Will this also work on a 1999 2GNT?

There is no speed limiter on any 2GNT.

nope, get a turbo kit and you can go 160+. While our cars are N/A they seem to not want to go faster than 125 - 135. I have held the car at 135 for like 2 miles and it wouldn't go any faster.
The speed limiter you are talking about is on the GST eclipse. They can't go that fast due to a built in speed limiter in the computer. We use a completely different engine and computer.

what would be a good recommended turbo for my 99? where would i get it from? Any suggestions?
6523, RE: Speed Limiter Removal
Posted by Fast420A, Nov-07-01 07:19 AM
There's a few places to check. www.hahnracecraft.com for the HRC kit. www.turbogs.com for the Star Kit. www.extreme420A.com for the Rage kit that isn't out yet. There is also going to be a NER kit but I haven't heard anything for a while on that. I would suggest you take some time and search the site in the turbo section for both Star and HRC and you will have enough info to read for a month. And don't post the question, which kit us better because both sides will say there kit is better.

So could a rev limiter stop me at 100?? I've only gotten up there twice, but both times it cut me off right at 100...
I've got an auto...

Auto at 100? wtf... 120 to smoke a celica here..... 140,,maybe a bit more... but that time i was keeping my eyes to the road... downhill that is... :)
6528, RE: Speed Limiter Removal
Posted by HadesOmega, Nov-07-01 07:43 PM
Fastest I seem to get is 125 I believe, it scary fast though and highly illegal so hehe I try not to push it. hehe but if I manage to find myself in the middle of nowhere and a straight road as far as the eye can see, I'll floor that sucka find out what it can really do hehe ^_^ NA though 115 or 120 was the highest I could hit.

Maybe the 95s are the only ones without a speed governor? That might explain why nameless can only get to 130. Oh well I haven't broken the barrier yet anyway. Hehe don't forget to get some V or Z rated tires before you try it also hehe. :P

No, Dino I was at 130 with more pull left in here when I was almost stock in my 97. I had 4 people and AC on. There is no governor any year.

I dont think the non-turbos have speed limiters. Ive taken my eclipse nearly upto 130 and it was gaining but slowly.. (downhill)... if anyone lives in the NY/NJ area check out Rt 287 at 3am in the morning... NO ONE IS THERE. And for the record I have taken a 1995 Galant ES with shit 30$ cheap ass tires to 140mph.. AND I LIVED!!! I dont know about that stuff with the Z rated tires, but if I managed to do it without perfomance tires I think removing the limiter shouldnt be a problem for safety (well that was on the site anyway).

neovb -- Hell yea man 287 kicks ass haha. I live in Orange County NY. Im at school right now in PA but I take 287 to get here. Two nights ago me and my buddy hit 120 on 476N at like 1230 in the morning. Tell ya, those white lines are zippin by at that speed :)


6538, RE: Speed Limiter Removal
Posted by HadesOmega, Nov-08-01 02:27 PM
Heh go ahead and go 130+ with your H rated or lower rating tires. Something called tread seperation happens :P It's not a pretty sight I would imagine also.... That's why theres a speed limiter on the GST in the first place, because it comes with H rated tires.
