how do i eliminate the governor on the stock ecu? the car is a 98 civic Dx coupe non vtec. Is there any way possible?

besides the whole obd2-1 conversion.. RA is gonna kick my butt

 

If you have a governor, it's set between 115 and 120mph. Why, with a Y7, do you need to go that fast? You'll never get up to speed in any kind of legal, sanctioned race.

 

i believe that you need to get a different ecu. i have the same problem.

 

your full of crap, ive already ran it out numerous times at multiple tracks i asked a question to try to get an answer.

another question, how can i block off the IACV?

I have a obd2-1 conv harness with a p28 ecu but the IACV in got me stuck

 

the limiter is 120mph..and it kicks in pretty hard, sort of like hitting a wall.. watch ur head on the windshield

How many laps, and how long of a stretch? What modifications do you have to your motor that allow you to trap over 120 with a D16Y7?

 

Roebling road Raceway with 710's on 13's..

 

If you have a chipped ecu, then you should be able to remove it through repflashing the chip. If you need to get inspected, throw your stock ECU back in. Not a hard concept.

 

the chip i have has no speed gov. i tried it on the car but i was getting a code14. i moved the pin and got rid of the light. my idle is still crappy because of the 2wire and 3 wire IACV crossup.

So can i block the IACV?? .

 

So what kind of setup are you running, besides a 1.6 SOHC Non-VTEC D16Y7?

 

Too bad all the folks with y7's have so much trouble with going fast ...

mine seems to be doing extremely well maybe its the driver

 

stock d16y7 is puting like 92hp to the ground ur not getting to 120mph buddy..

Not really. Anyone can shift at 6800.

 

you people are a joke

wanna see the video,, ive got lap after lap of me hitting the speed gov on the straight at Roebling Road.

http://www.roeblingroad.com look at the track map im exiting the last turn at just under 100 mph and straight is freakin long as you can see

 

Thank you for actually posting that. That helps me understand how you're getting a Y7 up to speed.

 

I figured that had to be one long *** straightaway to hit 120

why is it so hard to believe that a y7 can go 120+ ....

just curious if any of the people who replied to this topic road race or even drive their cars on track.

don't tell someone how much hp their car has and how fast it can go ....we already know this.

bring it to road atlanta....

I wrongly assumed it was for "street" racing. We get a rash of people with stock motors wanting to be uber fast by removing their rev limiters and speed governors. That's why I thanked him for posting the course, since he did not previously say what kind of racing he did. I've had a Y7, and I used to auto-x and do short road courses. Nothing close to the size of track he ran on, we just don't have any like that where I live.

 

OK, to disarm some of the folks in here that are screaming D00D YU CANT GO 120 IN A Y7!!:

First of all, he is NOT doing 120, even though the ECU thinks he is, and here's why:

The only size V710 you can buy for a 13" wheel is 215/50/13. Stock for an EK civic is 185/60/14, I believe. If you do the math on that, here's what you get:

185/60/14 stock tire:
diameter: 22.7"
circumference: 71.4"
revs/mile: 887

215/50/13 V710:
diameter: 21.5"
circumference: 67.4"
revs/mile: 940


With those numbers, the ECU is going to read the vehicle speed 5.6% higher than it really is, meaning when the speedo/ecu reads that the car is going 120mph, the car is really only travelling 113mph, which is definitely attainable given a good corner exit speed and a long straight.

 

actually...there is no speed governor...
speed is limited by gearing

 

in my EX coupe D16Y8 was at 125 and it was quite easy to hit.

why do i get cut out in 4th and 5th gear if its due to gearing? so i need to chamge my tranny?

 

It's the governor, I have hit the governor in 4th and 5th.

 

isnt there a fuel cut though? isnt that what we are hitting. My Y7 stops @ 190 km/h. there is still rpm, but it acts as though there is a fuel cut.

Haha. And you say I spread useless and/or incorrect information?

There's a speed governor, in the STOCK ECU of every 5th and 6th generation USDM civic... On my 5th gen EX it's at 120-125 (assuming speedo accuracy). I found this out on a track...yeah that's it...a track...

You ARE limited by gearing but ONLY if your speed governor is removed first. If you didn't have a speed governor, any VX would be able to clock what, 198? Before it redlines in 5th?
