My Em2 stops at 110 in 4th and i knows its in my ecu that doesnt let me go over but can i get a chip or something that changes that?

lol your governor is at 110?

 

yeah i can go 110 in 4th not even redlined and switch to 5th and it doesn't go any farther besides going down a bridge i was going 120 and acted like it wanted to cut off

 

Is there a reason why you're driving 110mph in 4th, regardless of whether or not your car is governed to that speed?

What does it do when you hit 110? Does it cut the throttle, or does it not seem to go faster? Because with the engine that comes with the EM2 you have, 114mph is pretty much it's top speed. You may just be bouncing on the revlimiter, which has nothing to do with governing your speed, and everything to do with maintaining your engine.

Please learn to read better. I have an Em2 for one. To answer your question it just dont go over 110 besides going down a steep brigde then the throutte cuts out at 120. All I want to know it what can i do to my ecu to make wear i can switch to 5th and not stay at 110

The difference in cars is negated, by the fact that you've got the same engine/drivetrain. The only difference is 80lbs and 2 doors, which isn't enough to change my prior statement. At 114mph, your car is about 100% tapped for power, that's why you can't go past 110, without the use of a hill.

To answer your question directly, there isn't an ECU or chip to change your top speed, because there isn't a speed cutoff to begin with.

Oh, and for the record, if you're going to use the term "for one", you've got to have a second point to back it up.

 

For the record......... Its not taped out when i switch to 5th im running like 4000 rpms and cruising at 110. All I wanted to know is if they sell a chip for my ecu or if anyone knew anything else so it will go to its full potential in 5th gear, but i know that i can get a single ecu and get my engine tuned and it would cost alot of money i wanted to know if theres a cheaper way to get what i wanted. Thanks

dont come into honda-tech bitching at people like matt. He knows what he is talking about. There is no need to go over 90 let alone 110. Grow up, you are going to end up killing some one going that fast. I already do not like you for bitching about stupid *** ****.

wow full potential in a em2 with a d17 is 32 mpg not going over 110mph

 

i cant begin to describe how wrong of a car you brought if you wanted to go that speed.

What you don't seem to realize, is that your car needs more horsepower to go faster. Regardless of what you may think you know, the top speed of a stock (or next to stock, in your case) D17-based vehicle is 116mph. That would be the EX model with it's extra 10hp from the variable valve timing (referred to as VTEC). The Civic Type-R of the same generation (2002-2004), with a 6-speed transmission (no engine work), barely pulls out 146mph as it's top speed, and it has 196whp. That's twice what you have in your EM2, and it has a 6-speed.

I've been 150 on my bike mother ****** so tell me im going to kill myself. and so your saying if i turbo my d17 and tune it good it wouldnt go over 110? ******* idiot</TD></TR></TABLE>

Actually, if you turbo'd your car, you would be able to go over 110mph. You might even hit 140mph, if it's tuned properly.

 

Several points have been taken as a result of disrespectful, TOSsable posts in this thread.

Address each other with respect, regardless of whether or not you agree with something.

It's OK to post a reminder to the thread originator that you (and we) think that patently unlawful speeds on the street is an issue against which we take a stand, but there is no point in bashing him to the point that he loses his temper and causes a violation of the peace.

 

So in 5th you're at 4000 rpms at 110? When I'm in 5th I'm at like 4000 rpms at 80. I don't think my EM2 could run more than 110, it just doesn't have the power or the transmission.

so that means if we do modify our motor it will go faster than 116 mph.. kuzz i have intake header and exuast and i know it got alot faster top end and low end than stock. i know i have hit 123-125 but only for a second. there was NOBODY on the the freeway. not to mention on a pretty much stock motor isnt that a bad thing to be doing?

what im trying to get at is. instead of buying a fake chip on ebay. modify your motor then it will go faster...

 

going over 110 mph in a car not made for those speeds is just STUPID. Go post on some ricer forums please, i hope no one helps u.

 

get vafc2, set it at 4k, when u get to 110mph in 5th it'll kick in, and bam, you'll be at 160mph in no time

 

I like to say that in my ES1 if I am correct 4 dr sedan 03. I've gotten it to top out at 135 in 5th gear. With an intake alone on a straight plane, heading towards las vegas. Yes it is stupid doing that **** in a civic but as a guy who likes pushing things to see what it can do it will hit 135 and stop or maybe more. It is close to the redline but won't budge anymore, well for me haha.

Volcom from my knowledge upgrading the ECU will help increase your top end speed and getting rid of your governer will allow you to red line your last gear. Now your top end speed takes a lot more work to change.

My reason behind the governer is that I used to race motocross and some of the dirt bikes come with governers and need to be removed. I had removed mine on the bike.

My other reason behind the ECU is all theoretical. If your car was programmed to run this fast with certain mods it can be programmed to run faster with different mods or the same. Except your looking into buying an expensive ECU.

 

The speedo on the civic is not accurate over 60 mph...

well not only on civics but all cars....

i thought everyone knew that...excluding newbs...

 

Lose the 18" wheels and go to a lightweight 15" wheel and you'll see more than 110 MPH.

Anyhow, think this thread has lived almost long enough...

 

I Think your problem is a lack of turbo. Once that is installed you should be able to go over 110 mph.

hope there are no deer or such where you are driving this fast, hit one of those at 110 mph and it could be all over for you and the EM2

have you been watching too much Top Gear or something ?
