Is the only way to remove it on an auto ,is with jet? doing a reflash on the ecu? Also what is the limit it is set at on a 05 lx sedan auto

omg!!

LOL, its an auto!!

you shouldn't be going that fast anyway.....that's dangerous :P

yes its an auto, so sue me, they why do they make torque convertors for auto cars like chevys and so forth, its just a damn question geesh, how is it dangerous if you know what your doing and your car is set up for it , off the record ive gone 127 and so have other people , that is what my 02 civic ex topped out at, it was an empty freeway dry streets and i only did it for like a minute

^^^nice thats me in the morning wen im late for class

yep, i miss my manual, and im new to the sedans so just asking questions

^^ Hey Bro I have a Auto. And the Fastest Vic on this site has a LX turbo auto.

exactly so , any actualy help here to the questions i posted up top would be much appreciated?

Hondata use to offer a program for our cars a few years ago but for the 7th gen you can either get another ECU or there is ways to get ours reflashed but its cheaper just to get a JDM computer. Im not exactly sure why but they changed our computers to Read only which means we cant reflash them the old fashioned way we have to get a chip removed and put in, at least thats what i have found. i have a 91 DX with a turbo b16 but its got a 99 motor and i had to replace the Ecu because it is OB0 and our cars (the 7thgens) are OB2 which makes it harder to reflash so my suggestion is if your gonna spend the money get the ECU so you can get some performance out of it too

that is true now i have a sedan maybe i should go jdm

Yeah im in the process of looking for one right now if i can find one ill gladly post for you

thanks guys, yea i know were all here to help each other out

And btw, the fastest vic on the site was iceburg slims, which has a k20a2 swap and ran 11 something. Highest HP D17 was Catalyst at abut 300 something whp

I think yours tops out at 115 well governed at 115 i wish i knew how to remove the governor also. It sucks really bad and seriously be careful going that fast its alright to endanger yours just not the lives of others. Also watch out with the cops its not worth getting a 1000 dollar ticket

I think the speed limiter is there so you can blame it rather than the fact you ran out of HP!

well if your caught going that fast your going to jail for more then just a ticket, but still im not stupid when i go that fast its only when no one is around and when the road is free and clear, but also just to know its not there and not limited wouldb e great to know as well

2001 LX owners do we have governors?

what happens if you have a blow out or run over something that puts a huge split in your tire at over 100mph? you most likely will flip and die. but that's ok, nature's way of weeding out the gene pool. so go right ahead and make the world a better place. we won't mind one bit.

and yes. we all have governors....from dx to ex, there is a governor

Buhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
But save the inocent!!!

how do i get rid of the governor? and what years?

Its not about how fast your car can go, its about how fast you get going... Amen.

What years how can it be removed?

it can't be removed unless you get an AEM EMS. they don't make any hondata, mugen, skunk2, uberdata, etc...... for our cars. the governor is on the 1999-3043 honda civic...lol you can't get rid of it right now unless you want to pop out $1400 for an EMS.

ahem

Ohh so only on the 1999 models? i got a 2001 so am i safe?

what do you mean safe? READ MY WORDS! all civics from 99 and newer have governors. that means you have a governor!

that is amazing if they make that hks speed thing for the 7thgen.

the only real way to kill the governor is to put a switch in the speedometers sending lead, and have it switched on when you start the car, (honda's ecu's are smart, if its disconnected when the cars started, it will kill the motor after you have been driving at 5 minutes and every 5 minutes thereafter). B U T!!!!! the ecu's are also dataloggers so if you were ever to sell your car, the mileage would be inaacurate, and you could be arrested for odometer fraud.
