Still makes no sense...do you mean disable it?.. add one.. look at it like this?..what [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ...more info dude!!!

I love the fact that 1028CiViC is a Post Master General and can barely speak English. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
Anyway, no. Nobody has done it yet. Well, that is you install a Jet ECU. I think that does the trick...

i called Jet they will not get rid of your speed limiter

 
Rep Power: 420

Oh really? That sucks. Screw that then. I guess the only option right now is AEM's EMS then.

does anyone know what trips the speed limiter? I freken hate only being able to go 112-115mph in my DX..i know i could push 125 if i removed it.

the ecu reading ur speed

This might sound a bit off but what would happen hypothetically if one disconnected the speed sensor? Think the car would run in some kind of default mode? This might have been discussed before so I apoligize for a possible repeat question.

Speed sensor? Hehe... That'de be kinda k3wl to have actually... I think the ECU calculates the speed based on the rpm's. You can't really disconnect anything to change that. You just have to re-program the ECU. Yeah, just. Hehe... Hopefully someone will come out with a low cost solution for re-programming our stock ECU's.

if you disconect it your air bag may not work

So is it really a speed limiter or is it more of a RPM limiter so that you don't fry the engine?

Ignore what I said before about the ECU using the rpm's to calculate the speed. That's wrong. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sick, so excuse me. Um... It probably gets the speed from how many times the wheels turn. There's no sensor next to the wheels, so it must be somewhere near the axles. OKay, now... There's both a speed limiter and an rpm limiter. The rpm limiter is set at 7,000 or so? Maybe 7,100? I forget... The speed limiter is different for EX's and LX's. For my 2001 LX it's 115mph. Oh yeah, now I remember. For the EX it's 127mph (exactly how much hp the cars have at the crank). Maybe it's 117mph for the HX? Anyway, I upped the diameter of my wheels. Now I can only hit 113mph. In 4th I'm at 6,100rpm going 113mph and I can not go any higher. That's the speed limiter kicking in.

so the rev limiter is around 7100? ive had mine revved to 7 before, nothing happened. and on an interstate trip i hit 125...it seemed like it had a little left in her but i dont think it was all that great to be running the motor at 6 grand for 15 seconds, so i got off it. i dont think the car has much ***** to go any faster. i wish the car had more top end, cause my buddy will start to walk me in his avenger on the top end

So because you increased the size of your wheels you can only hit 113 instead of 117. If you make the diameter smaller, could you end up getting to a higher speed?

Thanks for the info.

That doesn't sound right. An increase in the size of your wheels should give you a faster car but slower on the speedometer. Faster because on an axle that spins the same on a smaller set of wheels is covering less ground per second than an axle spinning the same speed with a larger set of wheels. All due to the circumfrence. That sounds right at least. If the speedometer is reading a different speed between different size wheels than that tells you that the speed sensor doesn't read off of the axle. The speed sensor would have to read off of the wheels.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

To add more and probably contradict myself... vehicle speed sensors on other Honda's as well as other manufacturer's are found in the transmission, so I guess it would read off of the axle (so why would the speedometer read a different speed with a change in wheel size[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] ) Also, I read that VTEC doesn't work properly in the absence of a speed sensor. And I also read that one of the things that CVT is based on is the reading from the vehicle speed sensor. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i dont even see the need for a speed sensor on our car.....there is nothing left once you hit 130.....

 
Rep Power: 414

I agree, but isn't a speed limiter required by law or something?

 
Rep Power: 0

i believe so

 
Rep Power: 420

Yeah, I know. It's weird. All I know is that a stock LX can hit 115mph. Mine hit that speed as well when it was stock. Then I put on 215/45-17's and now my top speedometer reading is 113mph. Weird huh? I mean, it should still top out at the speedometer's 115mph, but it doesn't. Maybe the speedometer runs off of the axle, but the real speed is also calculated somehow by the ECU? Hmm...
