I WAS RACING A WRX SMOKED EM BUT AFTER I GOT TO 120MPH MY CAR
WOULDN'T GO ANY FURTHER....cAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY AND HOW DO I
FIX IT.

 

First press the damn caps lock button
second its probably a speed governor. i think its in the ecu.
im probably wrong tho.

 

Can you say speed governor.

First off, what the hell are you doing racing someone on the street, and at 120mph???

You have a death wish? Or just like to be stupid?

 

you probably just ran out of torque. Not enough to over come the drag.

 

You smoked a WRX in an LS? A nicely modded LS maybe, but if you were modded out, I think you would know about speed limiters.

I am not sure what the gearing on an LS allows the top speed to be, but I am going to guess that it is higher than 120. So you probably ran into the spped limiter. Did the car shudder or lose power at all once you hit 120?

 

The car didn't lose power. It just won't pass 120. and how would i dissable the speed limiter. The rev limiter was dissable.

 

My stock LS goes 125.....so there's no speed gov

 

the only speed limiter is the rev-limiter...........the LS engine doesnt have enough power stock or lightly modded to push through the LS 5'th gear in the tranny.

120-130 is probably the most you can go unless you have a 70+mile stretch on a slight down hill with the wind pushing you and no traffic on the road.....then you MIGHT be able to hit 140-150ish

 

I hit 140 in my LS powered hatch! No speed or rev limiter and GSR trans

 

140 with an LS engine and GSR transmission? Top speed for a stock GSR is 142. How did you get that extra 1000 rpm? LS/Vtec?

 

i had my LS up to 140mph with a GS-R tranny........according to the SAFC i was at 6900rpm in 5'th gear........

i'm sure a GS-R can go faster in 5'th since it has a 8100rpm redline.......i would imagine the top speed would be arounf 150-155mph if the engine made enough power to pupoo poo to that speed.

 

The GS-R tranny 5th gear can take you up to 162-163 mph I believe.

 

what the hell are you people doing going this fast on the street anyway??

 

ive had my LS up to 133 it had more in it but you know those damn state troopers hate that kind of speed and usually chase u (they did that to me) haha

 

i only pushed mine once that hard, but on the freeway... got up to 120 and it slowed down all of a sudden. its a governer or fuel cutoff or something... but given enough room you can reach even higher speeds, BUT it just suddenly stop accelerating as fast.

I also read that the speed is governed at 120 on auto ls's and 130 on manual ls's. On gsr's, it like 135 or 140. So it is a governer, just modify the ecu... whether it be a ghetto fab chip or a completely reprogrammed ecu... or a Hondata... it should all be able to get rid of the governer. It all has to be programmed to do that, by the way... not all will.

 

139 in lightly modded ls after 120 it hits a slow spot and gradually picks up

 

I have a really hard time (unless your motor is completley built) believing that you beat a WRX. What are your mods?

 

I believe you might have had the WRX toward the start, but up to 120 MPH? no, his TT would have had plenty of time to open up a can of whoop ***.

My LS gets to 120, has a little trouble (gearing and torque curve), and then picks up again. Never had it over 142 MPH. I have heard of the auto's not going over 120, but wouldn't that be b/c an auto is a 4 speed? The rest of us have another gear.

 

i redlined my gsr in 5th , and the needle was past numbers , i was doin like 155

 

All Japanese cars are speed limited by law to 112 mph. Some US Accords and Civics are also limited to this speed. The symptoms are a hard fuel cutoff. When the speed drops 3-5 mph, the engine switches on again.

If this is the case and your Integra ECU is 96-98, then it can be chipped.

 

i have a 94 teg and my fuel cutoff hard when i hit ~110 mph in 4th. then it came back on afte a little deceleration. so it was exactly as hondata described it.

 

I was driving my GF's LS. Coming back from Ft Lauderdale, on a clear open stretch of I-95 we hit 130. Thats the wall her car has, stone stcok.

 

ur integra has a speed govener
get ur ecu chipped
