Speed governors

does everyone with our 7th gens have a speed limiter that seems to kick in when you reach 112 mph and is there any ways to tweak around it like the rev limiter? does the aem plug and play eliminate this too?

i think everyone has that on their car. the way to get around it is to get an ECU upgrade. do some searching and you'll find the answers.

automatics suck after 110 she quits tryin, what i would like is a 5 speed auto transmissions outta the civic sedan that has the k20 in it, i think the phillipines has it over there if i'm thinkin right. i wonder if a 5 speed auto would be faster than a 5 speed manual since the time it takes to shift gears is eliminated? makes you wonder huh?

All automatics are limited to 112 mph and all coupes are not limited but they pretty much top out at 125 mph. This has been discussed many times. Search.

LOCK THIS S***!!





EDIT: contrary to popular belief are cars cannot go 1255 mph! Thanks Zzyzx

I hit 1255mph all the time. I can get from PA to FL in an hour. WHen there is no traffic of course...Seems like there is always some A-hole only doing 900mph in the fast lane.

I've hit 130MPH with my EX Coupe Manual. It was stock at the time and have smaller rims that what your supposted to have. It's easy geting it up that high. Just redline all the gears.

despite your stated fact autos are limited to 112, its false, bogus and totally ****. You just need to take your car out of forth gear, into 3rd and you will reach a electronic limited 120mph. I have a friend with an auto and I have done this in his car like 20 times. You can actually feel the car cutting off at 120 not reving high but actually having a limiter. I would film this crap for you but I am not risking a ticket so try it yourself.
perfectly flat road no passengers and no wind.

theres definitely a governer on my car, your saying i am runing out of power with a turbo on 10lbs of boost? HA HA

anyways i thought the lx,dx,hx models all have governers and the ex simply runs out of power(not quite sure if thats true)

anyways i thought i brought up a thread like this like a month ago and we all came to conclusion that you would need to reflash/reprogram the ecu to get past governers.
