[tino]

Does any1 no how to take off the 130mph speed limiter on the gst? Is there anywhere i can buy a new ecu that doesnt have the limiter? plz help

Not really sure if you'll wanna mess with this. It involves doing internal mods to the ECU. Proceed at your own risk.

Has any1 ever done this to theres?

Doesn't look like its that hard. Or If you'd rather not mess with it , just go buy an AWD ECU. Read the article , its good.

hope you got rid of the stock H rated tires!!!

thats the reason it only allowed to go 130 anyway

ya I already put z rated tires on when i put my rims on.

ummm.... my only question is... how many times have you hit 130 in your eclipse?

I've done it once and will never do it again...

Only reason i am saying this is because if you've ever done it, it's a rare and risky thing... also you won't reach that speed on a quarter mile, so basically, you won't really need to go faster than that unless it's to serve another purpose.

I didn't it once, its like hitting a brick wall, I almost ate the steering wheel

Is it really necessary to drive 130?

what would the top speed b if the limiter was off? Im guessing 145-150 because the gsx is 140

I've been well over 150 in my gsx. That was a long time ago, and I'm not stupid enough to try it again to see what it does now All it takes is a piece of debris in the road or an animal, or a small malfunction, and then your done. Acceleration is more fun then top speed anyway I think.

And that the whole point of the DSM's , I beleive. Acceleration and midrange. I personally went a touch north of 160 in my 92 GSX , smooth as glass , but not really worth the risk , IMO. On a dedicated racetrack its a whole 'nother ballgame , than playing Speed Racer on the highway. I also don't appreciate street-racers who feel the need to go past 100 mph on a city street. 60 mph is more than enough to determine a winner. I don't even but rarely go past 100 on the highway. If someone feels the need to do 130 on my street , warn me first so I can leave town

I agree. I'm more than willing to molest some riced out honda on the highway, but if he thinks I'm going start playing at 75-80 mph, I let him go. If someone is serious, they'll slow down with me to 55, and race to 90ish (top of third or so). If he thinks he has a chance against me in 4th gear when he couldnt keep up in third, he's retarded anyway...

How would H rated tires effect ur car speed limiter? Does it matter if u have Z rated or H rated tirest to go pass 130?
