car's govner limit, legal to take off?

**TomTom** · 07-26-2002, 01:49 AM

ok well i just get out of 4th gear for a little bit and my car cuts out at 180km/h
so is it legal to take out/off whatever you do?

That's the JDM limiter, mine does that too. I'm not sure how to disable it yet..

You need someone to take it out, I hear its pretty pricey to take out the JDM limiter but theres no real point its not like youll be going over 180 all the time

Fields VTEC controller or a VAFC will take the limiter off or chipping the ECU will do it also!!

If you have a warranty though that will void it... right??

**Superesc** · 07-26-2002, 09:25 AM

yes, your warranty will be toast....

**RCBVtec** · 07-26-2002, 09:27 AM

that's what I thought.

your warrenty can only be voided if the dealer proves the aftermarket part caused the problem. PERIOD

Would a Dinan stage II chip get rid of the limiter? If so, there's one for sale.

I am pretty sure the Chip would have to be for a JDM ECU cause there is some minor differences between the two.

I think a VAFC automatically gets rid of your governor. I don't think you have to program it or anything....Maybe I'm wrong.

yes if you follow the instructions for a JDM ECU will do it automaticlly.

i guess not just for euro cars cuz they make chips for preludes...

**kmac** · 07-26-2002, 06:21 PM

are you serious? I'm possibly in the market for a chip for my car but i didnt think dinan did them for honda. Do you know what gains might be expected or anything like that. I know chips usually raise the rev limit, do you know if that causes premature wear on any part of the car? thank
