What can you do or buy to get rid of a speed restrictor/governer?
I have a 2001 civic LX sedan. I have looked everywhere, but have not found anything.

nothing. no way to remove it that i know of, why do you need to go 130mph anyways? if you wanted to go that fast on a regular basis, you have the wrong car, look into getting a faster car for that like a ferrari.

 

The car's power is probably what's limiting you. The car tops out at 115mph, with the wind at your back.

My only assumption, is that you're wanting to cruise the autobahn, but even then I don't see the point at trying to go faster than the car is ready to go.

 

Sounds like somebody's getting ready to rob a bank and run. lol

lol, nah I allready hit the governor and I'm planning to turbo the car, I know that i would feel comfortable knowing that I can do 200km/hour instead of the 185 cut out.
and yea, I've been on the autobarn. lol

 

There arent any chips to negate the governor ??

I was able to do it with my s10 I used to have. I have thought about it with the Civic, but am never driving that fast. *shrug*

 

its you're tranny.......

for some reason i wanna say civics dont have a governer but just a rev limiter...

 

Ahhhh, gotcha !!!

Different but similar !!

 

actually my civic has rev limiter and speed limiter. 7200-7250 rpm range. and at 185km/hour it cuts out. My brothers 2000 EX coupe cuts out at 190-195. and also has a set rev limiter.

 

i guess I just answered my own question, lol. I found this:

Its not worth it at all, the motor more than likely can't be running very good past its rev limiter, and the rev limiter has a purpose. lets say you miss shift you'll screw the motor up, blow something, damage the valvetrain parts and then you get to spend more money on a new motor so dont waste your time/moeny doing that just get it boosted and have fun with that maybe build the head to insure your money spent wont get you stuck on the side of the road when if get boost happy. yes honda does make some pretty good motors but their not bomb proof. JUST DONT DO IT. Or get a k swap done youll get more revs and Hondata's refalsh will increase the revs a little more too youll spend just as much doing that as with boosting your D17 and the k has way more potential to build up and makes about the same power as a D17 running 4-5 psi

 

BTW thats weak how my post ran all the way over to the right sorry

You can blame sujak for that. His LOL'ing got out of hand.

 

i say stickers.


get stickers.

 

LOL? so your going to spend 600 on greddy emanage just to remove a governor just so you can have your motor push your car 5 mph faster?

 

na, I'm not gonna get that thing, lol. I am just getting the turbo and installing that,
along with a high flow cat and exhaust from greddy.
The governor thing just pisses me off.
I got lots of rpm range left and the thing just bugs me. especially when my bro drives past smiling at me with his ex.
lol Where does your car govern out?? anyone try it yet?
