JDM Type R instrument cluster reads 180 km/h witch is like 110 or so? are they limited to 110 or can they go faster? or would you need a USDM gsr or type r ecu ?

 

If you put a JDM cluster in a US car then no it wont have a speed limiter. The speed limiter is controlled by the JDM ECUs only, not the cluster.

 

so are the jdm ecu's limited to 180 km/h? I have a jdm B18c on the way. and wanted to know if it was limited? thanks for the help!

 

will a USDM gsr ecu work well on a jdm gsr swap? or would it be better to chip the jdm ecu? I don't want the moter to have less performance with the usdm ecu, or does it make a diffrence!!! thanks-a-bunch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

jdm ecu's are governed at around 128 or so mph.

 

so could I use the usdm ecu!?

 

You won't hit the speed limiter on public roads or on most racetracks.

If you're planning to run on a road course with an especially long straight, then look into removing the limiter.

Until then, don't worry about it. I've been driving around with a speed limiter for months, including two track days without a problem.

 

but I sure do like to go fast!! I have had my 94 ls to 140 on the roads around town!! I realy just want to know that my car can do what it is able to do not held back, ,, so it would not be a good idea to use the usdm ecu?

140mph on city roads? Idiotic if you ask me

well it's really a highway that goes around the whole town!! but yes pretty stupid! I have't done that in a long time it was when I first got the car.

 

ecu piggybacks and hondata and such should be able to remove the limiter i think.
