its a b16. it tops out at 115 anyways, so they put a limiter on it. ;P, haha jk. its a stock computer, and they usually put the speed limiter on the b16 pretty low.

The stock ECU has a speed limiter. Regardless of what you paid, if you didn't order a modified ECU, that's what you get. Get it modified.......

what i wanna know is why do you need to go over 115?? you cant do that in 1/4 mile on a stock b16 not even close actually and doing 115 on a highway is, well not to bright.

if its a jdm b16 tranny then you shouldnt be able to go much faster than 115 in 5th gear at 8k.. if your going 115 in 4th then you got ripped off

You'd have to have it tuned to boost on it anyway. In which case they'll remove the speed limiter.

what he means, is its probably not a b16 trans. the gearing on a b16 would not let u go 115 in 4th. youd be way to high in rpms.
