Does my D15B7 have one? My buddy's a tech at our local Honda dealership and says they NEVER put a speed limiter in a Civic in N.A. But at 190 kp/h (120 mp/h) the ignition shuts off. 5200 rpm in 5th gear. It's not the fuel cut BLAT!!BLAT!!BLAT!! sound, it's just a dead engine sound. When I back off a bit, it then regains power, up until 190 again.


Any thoughts?

This all stemmed from a recent road trip. I've got all the I/H/E crap, and some other stuff, and the car goes all right. We got passed by some guy in a beautiful E34 5 series, and then traffic let us catch up again. I've hit the limiter before and was told it was a lack of power. Anyways, we draft the BMW and are gaining REALLY FAST, and I'm thinking "HELL YES! WE'RE GONNA RIP BY THIS GUY!" BAM! Limiter kills the fun, even with a huge reduction in Aero load. Is it just my ECU or does this happen to anyone else?

yes this happens to me. though it takes me about a 10 mile stretch to get going that fast so i dont think its much of a problem. THERES NOT ENOUGH DAMN DOWNHILLS IN ILLINOIS!!!! either that or my friends dont push fast enough

Yeah that **** happens to me too, but i can almost reach 120 in third gear and it dont take quite ten miles any of you guys know how to eliminate that? i also got a JET chip that i'm about to install well if it removes the governor I'll let you guys know
