3rd gen 3sgte speed limiter?, does it have one? Options

[urbandork]

well tonite on the freeway on the way home i got the car up to around 120 and then it kinda shut down as if there were a speed limiter on it? it felt exactly like what happend when i hit 118 in my 01 corolla. At first i was worried that some how i hit the boost fuel cut as i was giving it a good amount of pedal, however when i easied my way up to 120 it did the same thing as well.

what happend? is there a speed limiter on the 3s ecu? and how do i disable it?

thanks

Yes all factory JDM motors are limited to 118 mph IIRC. To disable it you need to cut the Purple wire with the white stripe on the 22 pin connector. Expect CEL on if you do that so you might want to get a switch on that wire so its not permanently cut. You MIGHT experience issues with power steering and/or speedo gauge. I have not removed speed limiter on my gen3 so i cant confirm this info, its just what i found out from reading. The best way would be purchasing one of HKS or GREDDY speed cut defencer (~$100) or going standalone
