I have a JDM B18C with a JDM P72 ECU. My car tops out at 120 or about 6K in 5th gear. It makes a strange noise then stops accelerating. Is this the governor? I was under the impression JDM ECUs don't have them. If this is so, what is the simplest way to get rid of it? I'm going to get beat by stock EXs who can easily go 125+ hahaha. Thanks.

yea i was gonna buy a jdm p73 ecu (jdm itr) but guy told me it had a speed limiter...so i'm guessing the jdm gsr would be the same deal. way to get rid of it? hmmm i'm not sure but why not just get OBDI chipped p28

 

Ok, what if I was to pick up a usdm P72? Since the JDM engine doesn't have the evap sensors and what not, am I going to get a check engine light if I hook that up? What are the other differences between JDM and USDM ECUs? Thanks.

 

Ok, so since the JDM engines don't have evap sensors, if I get a USDM ECU, I'm going to get these codes (90 or 92) when I plug it in right? What can I do to trick the ECU into thinking everything is ok with the evap sensors?

 

chip it and the limiter shall be removed

 

All the chips I see are for 9K redlines and different VTEC points, which I don't need on a basically stock engine

 

Fields SFC-VTEC controller is supposed to be able to remove the speed limit on JDM ECUs

 

that is a disadvantage. But someone with a hondata or similar setup could burn you one with a mildly upgraded fuel/timing maps and remove the governor without raising the redline sky high or moving the vtec.
