fuel cut off in drifting?

i was wondering...is there fuel cut off on every car? my friend has a 240sx and he has a fuel cut off at 110mph....im guessing no more fuel is feeded into the motor?


but most importantly...my question is...Is there a fuel cut off on every car?

Re: fuel cut off in drifting?

not every car uses fuel cut to cause the governor and not every car is governed, but most of those cars are so slow they can't reach dangerous speed anyway.

other cars use an ecu stutter to limit speed where it doesn't stutters the spark plugs like you see on an indy or f1 car when it goes into the pits. This only works on cars without distributors.

The governor is there because the car isn't built to go faster than the governed speed, but for drifting this isn't really an issue because you'll probably never have to go 110 mph.
