upping the top speed?

i hear of the 120mph speed limiter and it makes me cringe, is this in the computer or the transmission that limits you? how could it be resolved? im thinking of picking up an s14, and either dropping an sr20det in, or turboing the stock ka. either way if im gonna make myself a car to go id rather it didnt stop at 120mph.

break it or take it out...

Someone I know (I fail to call him a friend, because he is not... HE OWNS A CIVIC WITH RACING STRIPES AND TVS IN HIS 2-DOOR HEADRESTS!!!) broke his governor by driving down a steep hill at max speed... Don't know if that sounds very... Safe... or good for the car... lol

hahah i cant WAIT to see what old_s13 and iketani have to say about this one!!!:D



dude 240's suck. id say go with a civic or something more reliable. you dont know if the SR you get from japan is gonna be broken or not. the transmission in the SR actually limits you to about 93 mph, and there is absolutley no way to change that. the 120mph speedo is just for looks. plus, the stock ka is even slower.

definitely not the car for you.

yeah because old_s13 is filled with such happiness that he loves to share with everyone

damn this board is really full of haters. i made my first 2 posts today, long time troller. both got jumped on. thank you to ppl who give honest results, but shit thats kinda rediculous. i may have started out with a prelude, but the honda community was atleast trying to be helpful. were all still after the same goal, were all import car tuning enthusiasts. not all hondas are rice. did you guys establish this board to pick on people who dont have the same car? we all had to start somewhere, remember that.

We're not haters, we just joke around. I used to take everyone seriously and got pissed off everytime I came on here, but you just have to realise everyones just kidding around with you...

At least thats what I tell myself...

ok ok. we ARE all joking, as dayna said. well im half joking. i, just as much as any other legit 240 enthusiast, dont wanna see the car turn into what hondas have. i know that not every honda is a ricer...but most of them are, and we dont want to see that happen to the 240. and there are much more protective people than me about it, so try not to sound like an idiot around them (not that you do.) and if anything sounds too mean or fucked up to be serious, it probably is. 240 enthusiasts are truly like no other crowd out there, and i learned that through many flames. defintiley not your honda "tuner" crowd.

if i promise not to put altezzas and a non functional triple decker wing 2 x the size (height and width) of the car can we all play nice?

No, but luckily for us it worked out that way:)

speed limiter on the manual is 115, not 120. the only way you can remove the governor is with an ecu upgrade. something like http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/

or do an auto swap (HAHA i'll hear it from you guys for suggesting this... lol). i've had mine up to an estimated 125, and thats with bulky tires so i coulda easily been hitting 130.

If you want a highway car, the Z is a better and more stable highway car.. just incase you were wondering. I say this because the Z is wider, weighs more, and overall is more sturdy.. all good for highway racing.

But to answer your question, its the 5th gear sensor OR the speed sensor.. I cannot remember, but its ECU controlled. You can modify the KA ECU or if you go SR, I dont think you'll need to worry about that.

Now you didnt say anything stupid, so I have no reason to rip on you. But, dont be so quick to say "drop sr" or "turbo ka." You'll be amazed at how much you can learn with the 240SX, as a driver. After 7 years of upgrading brakes, suspension, interior, and minor engine upgrades.. I am still with my SOHC KA. It may not be the fastest/most powerful motor, but its responsive, reliable, and good enough to LEARN on.

Afterall, there's no point in having modifications, let alone a POWERFUL motor when you yourself dont know how to control it. The 240SX owners I know, tend to be quite serious about "driving skill." The only other community that I know that is DEEPER than us, is the Corolla and/or Miata community. Those guys KNOW their cars, their limits, and simply know how to drive.

Dude, I just read in the silvia forum u got yelled at for attacking someone personally, and you do it again? I won't run and go tell on you, but dude, seriously, calm it down a notch.

Are you having a bad day or something?

A pearl necklace is MUCH different than just knockin one off...

..it is like, artwork!

- Mike

ps: Yes, you guys can quote me and make an signature out of this one too! :)

you guys amaze me...

s14kyle... if you noticed, dorikin and s13_iketani are friends, not taking offense to what each other says...

how are you going to break a speed limiter? it's a program in the ecu, not a part you can replace/break...

zeldakid, you sound like one of the dumbest people i've ever seen/heard type.

learn some grammar, so we can make sense of what you say, then try posting your bullshit post again.

Well said Dayna, well said.

1) I started the company SEMENS
2) I am the largest manufacturer for Semen's west-coast distributor.
3) And yes, it is true.. Peter North was my protegé

I know they're not friends, but he just got yelled at for saying "FUCK YOU" to someone. Sorta dumb to get warned for that by a mod then do it again. I was thinking maybe HE wasn't thinking when he did it out of some sort of frustration. Maybe his boyfriend bit him last night during head? lol

Governor: I know it's a program, but his car DEFINATELY goes above the alloted 104 it went to before, without any engine mods. Now he can go 140... lol

Zelda is just trying to piss us off in case u didnt read the thread titled "Zeldakid", which you should if you already haven't...

uhh..dude...me and Brian(S13) ARE friends, and we have been since grade school.

He got yelled at for saying fuck you cuz some guy made a rasict remark at him...i think YOU need to read the thread

Hmmm, I thought you were on the side of SRpower or something... He hasn't been back, has he? lol One less stubborn opinion

I know he was suffering from racism, I was disturbed by the fact that the 14 year old hated him because he was a canadian... Dumb reason to hate someone. If you're gonna hate people for stupid reasons, you should hate indiscriminately :Dlol:D
