Anyone know how-to remove.
 

Does anyone know a DYI or home-made way to remove the stupid 115-120MPH Govner (Speedkill) on honda's ECU without getting a chip or the Apxei Rev. Speed meter. I'm using a Si tranny on my JDM DOHC ZC and I'm still in 4th gear ( my tach.'s at about 7,500RPM when it hits in 4th ) ( Basicly I don't use 5th when I race on the high way ). I've raced DSM's and other that keep going like it never ends and I'm stuck at 120. I'm just woundering since you guys here just about think of anything homemade. Thanks

my guess would be that you'd have to rechip, since that's where the info is. someone on the board was burning chips already, and as soon as i get everything unpacked at the new house, i'll be back on my chip burner (only a bt more to put together on my custom built one).

ZC Redline = 7000? not 7500!!

Re:Anyone know how-to remove.
 

man, why would u race that fast anyway. if you not ahead by 120....u pretty are deamed the loser. im more of a up to 80....and i even think thats stupid. maybe im just a girl, but i think ill keep it that way. but anyway to answer your question....yes you have to get a chip of some kind.

First off thanks for not dawg'in me and putting me down guys. Alot of forums I've asked this question and I get blasted for it. About why I race that fast. I don't all the time and some times I've been winning but only by alittle and I get beat once I hit 120. The place where we race at in my area is called a "park and ride". Those who don't know what it is it's a long strip of 2-3 lane road/highway that has a jersey in the middle of it where people park and then take a train to where they work. At night when we race it's completely empty road no one except us and cops sometimes and when we race for $$ we race alot longer then a 1/4 mile sometimes. If I'm losing real bad I don't keep going I'll stop cause it's not worht beating up my motor if I know I"m not going to win to answer that question but sometimes it's a close race and you want to win so bad you don't realize how fast you're going. Yes I am rough on my car and if I wasn't a mechanic I'd be walking right now cause I"m always fixing my car but I was just curious as why the Car saftey Assoc. or who ever de-tunes cars and stuff when they bring them here why some cars have alot higher speed limiter's on them then others. but thatnsk again guys for your feedback I'll most likely just buy the Apexi Rev/Speed meter.

That seems pretty dumb If you hit 100 and you are still winning you pretty much won.. But.. chipping your ecu is about as "homemade" as it gets with that ----..

I don't ever race that fast, but I would also like my speed limiter removed. That thing is annoying. I remember the first time I hit it(the first day I had my car) it scared the ---- out of me. I thought I blew it up or something.

I don't know about honda's but in my tercel all I had to do was cut the vehicle speed sensor that goes to the ecu. You should be able to find it in electrical schematics for your car. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this (perhaps because it's not doable on a honda?)

Re:Anyone know how-to remove.
 

Because that would render the speedo useless.
