tell me about speed limiter???, speed limiter in celica Options

[yuvelq]

please tell me about speed limiter on Celica???

[Magic]

Ehmm....for the JDM cars,all the JDM cars the speed limit is @180Kms For more information i think we should ask the Japanese Goverment!!!

[Supersprynt]

There are people saying that they hit one at 115 and others saying 125, i dunno if it depends on the ST or GT or what. I went to 120 with my GT and was fine. I have an RSM with cuts out the speed limiter on my JDM ecu so ... hehehe

[hata]

since i'm a ST, I hit 115 but that dosent mean shiet...cause if u dont care about the "big jerk" that happnz around that speed...then ur car will keep goin. I didnt go the fastest I wanted 2 go but teh fastest I ever did though waz like 120-ish an the car waz about (what it looked like) 5,700k-ish...

Moved to engine/performance.

the actuall limiter is around 115 mph for US-spec 7afe

- In first couple months that I owned my ST - I kept maxing it out at 115

all it does is you hear a jerk - comp cuts of ur fuel - and your RPMs go down like crazy -

-then I got 17" Konig Imagine (have 7 of them - 2 are on garage wall "busted" - 1 spare - 4 on)
and with those wheels it threw off the Speedometer @ around 119


*then I had an accident - almost everything was replaced except the engine block
-and SINCE THEN i've went far more then 115-119


I could've never TEST the true capabilities of STOCK - st - ; because after the repair - the car went to Tuner

shop for mods.... BUT I think that stock ST wouldn't go more then 125mph on regular tires/rims

The speed limiter on my 95 was the rev limiter in 6th gear...I had it going 132 down the highway with stock tires and everything, was into redline...and then on ice one time this winter I hit 135 as I banged off the rev limiter in 5th. So thats that.

What's an RSM and how does it defeat the limiter?

[VietCelicaGt]

i have a 95 gt and i went 140 and was fine..i was racin my bro prelude.his prelude 95 jdm engine 5 spd and so so.mine was hks turbo and injen intake kit

I managed to remove the limiter for free. All you have to do is cut the speed signal just before the ecu. The only downside is it triggers a CEL.

The limiter is at 111.1mph (GPS verified)
My slightly modded ST will now go 123.9 on level ground with no wind.

I'm out of town for work right now, I'll try to get the ECU pin number when I get back.

1994-1995 celica ST manual-- orange wire, number 11 on the thrid connector o

1994-1995 celica ST auto-- orange wire, third connector, wire number 9

1996-1998 celica ST both auto and manual-- orange wire, third connector, wire number 9

check this image from the safc2 install how-to the connector on the right is the third connector



when my speedo reads 115, i get the fuel cut at about 4200rpm. i was very tempted to cut the wire and install a switch inline but i rarely hit my speed limiter and i actually see the limter as a good thing.

i wil try to disable it one day and go to the local sheriffs department and see if they can tell me where to go for high speed testing.

We seriously need a 6th gear if we wanna go over 115.

[snadman]

I could only go like 120 in my 95 GT. I spose I could've gone faster if it hadn't been for my friend yelling "dude it's a cop in the ditch"...all of a sudden fuzz buster goes crazy...slam on the brakes. Phew. Maybe I could've gone faster?

hey it worked finally no governer. took a whole 15 min. to do cause i put in a toggle switch so my check engine light wouldn't be on all the time. managed to get my st up to 130 mph before i backed off it. little to close to red line for me.

i need taller gears

[Guest_Matthew_*]

i want to see proof of these 130-135 mph runs


i have been in 3 different celica GT's and each one tops out around 120 or so.

One is my 98 Auto
and one was a 94 gt manual
the other was a 99 gt manual
