Is there a way to get rid of our rev limitor or our govenor? I tried searching it but nothing came up. if anyone has a link please just post.

 

wish I did, hope someone on here knows as it would be nice to get rid of it

 

kpro.


oh and why would you need to get rid of it btw? Just curious. 120 on local roads not fast enough for you?

 

lol i really just want to get rid of the rev limiter and i once heard the govener and the rev limiter r in some way insynch with each other. in other words when u get rid of one, u get rid of the other. Thanks

 

Like I said, kpro

You want to get rid of the rev. limiter? Looking to blow the engine apart then eh?

 

^ Well I heard of some people on other forums who had built K motors or boost I believe which they can redline at 9k but the rev limiter stopped it at 7200 and no one has been able to figure it out. Why not swap in a Rsx Type-S cluster?

 

swappin in a cluster wont change redline.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Curiouz_G &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">kpro.

Well, he doesn't claim to have a K-series (built or otherwise). So, for the sake of this argument, that is irrelevant. Plus, changing the cluster will only change the visual aspect of your car's performance. It has nothing to do with the actual physical change. So, it won't raise/lower the rev-limiter in any way.

It'd be less expensive to just take the engine out and sell it.

Well, getting stuck on some road just trying to blow up a motor that's quite bulletproof from the factory doesn't sound like fun at all.

 

LOL. yea that would def suck but i wouldnt go riding around the roads trying to blow my motor bc that would be dumb and dangerous. i would do it in my buddy's parking lot of his shop when i get all the parts for the K swap.

I don't know, it's always smart to have a backup plan. Say the K blows up the first week you get it? You're screwed.

Good point but then i would just use one of my other cars. i always make sure i have a back up plan in place with everything

 

Ill tell you why you don't need to remove the governor on the stock motor. I have a DX/LX and by the time i reach my limiter...180km/h, the motor is aready at redline in 4th gear, and in 5th gear, its not too far from redline either so..it's not like ud be able to reach more then 190km/h before your engine blows.

Im not trying to go over 120mph. i just want to get rid of the rev limiter.

 

well that'd be pretty hard to do without kpro.
since its extremely difficult to get rid of the rev limiter on a stock d17.

 

not to argue anything but i take my car past 120 alot. It has never limited me yet. Got an 04 EX EM2. Fastest ive had it is 138 ish

 

"ish" being the operative word. Speedo's get quite vague once you're right up there, if you were to check your speed on a GPS it would be rather lower.

 

That because most GPS are using average speed. There only taking an estimated top speed based on the expected area covered.
Unlike an actual speed sensor that is reading your wheel. I have been in many races with cars at those speeds and i know that it was well past 120. I dont belive that close to 5 cars are gonna be wrong at one time. But who knows. Could be different.
