can not go past 110 mph, computer?

[tienbinh4]

I think the computer won't let me go past 110 mph. When i reach to that speed (110mph, 4500rpm) both rpm and mph needle suddenly pull back. Is there anyway to bypass this? It make no sense since my gauge MPH is max at 150 and i can only go to 110. Please help if posible.

As with all newer cars, they have a speed regulater on them. Theres really no reason to bypass it unless your going to race it Legally anyways.

sure, you can bypass it.

there are two ways of doing it.
1. expensive - buy a supercharger
2. free - put transmission in D3 position

the reason that you can't pass 110mhp is lack of torque at 4000-4500RPM to force transmission to downshift from 4th gear to 3rd gear.
so if you keep transmission in D3 you can get to about 120-125mhp on speedometer (116mph actual speed) after that you switch to D4 to continue accleration. you probbably can see speeds up to 135mhp, after that acceleration will slow down.

with supercharger you can keep transmission in D4 because power avalable everywhere in power band.


one more thing; if you're going with speeds over 80mhp and decide to go from D4 to D3, computer will keep transmission in 4th gear even with shifter in D3.

Thanks you so muchhh, lol yeah i can go faster than 110 now !!! so basically i just keep tranmission on D3from the start at all time right? or do i have to go D1 to D2 and then D3?
thanks again

you can shift from D4 to D3 if speed below 80mhp and transmission will switch from 4th to 3rd, above 80mph transmission won't switch, it'll remain in 4th.
