180 km/hr speed limiter

[sprint]

I was wondering what i can do to get rid of the 180 km/hr speed limiter on my 1G-GTE. Has anyone done it before?

[Al]

you need one of these

or a pivot speed meter for around $200nzd which also tells you ur speed

[Silent Knight]

i didn't know the 1G-GTE's had a 180kph speed limit

I've been over 180kph in the supra??

[GTUWET]

speed limits 100km/h

[adikt]

well this is OBVIOUSLY for track use isnt it
right?
wouldnt want to go breaking the speed limits, that would be bad

[thaphatty]

hahaha! thats great! damn you crazy! anyone who wants to take off their speed limiter is my kinda person

[adikt]

i looked at getting a Speed cut defender too, was gonna cost me about $200-300 installed.
that was before a couple of incidents that kinda sucked my dry of any sort of financial backing.
still, its in the plans, do some research & post your results

if u were in chch a mate of mine sells and installs these for $200 incl

I was at puke on sunday and was sitting on the 180 limiter down the back straight. So i take it there is no quick fix? You cant bypass it? What about disconnecting the speedo cable? You wont get a speed or rev counter but maybe you can go faster than 180?

Sorry im in Auck.

Can you install one of these HKS Speed Limit Defencer this yourself?

Also how fast has someone got their 1G-GTE up to? And what car was that in?

Here's a < $5 speed cut that works for 3S-GTE's and should work for most other Toyotas

Get a 4024 I/C from Dick Smith ( http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storef ... View/Z5624 ) then connect as follows;

Pin #1 -> Speed Input ( From Speedo ?)
Pins # 2 & #7 -> Ground
Pin #14 -> +5v
Pin #12 -> Speed output (to ECU)

Cut the speed input to the ECU and put this I/C inline and it should solve your 180km/h problems

thanks fivebob

my flatmate works at dicky smiths so it will be even cheaper

Most modern cars have a VSS wire going staright to the ECU from the trans, so pulling your speedo cable is pointless. You could disconnect the VSS wire, but that's not a recommended option, causes all sorts of problems

would this work on an ae92 with afm 4agze?

how does the speed limiter works? I don't suppose its those "plug it into ciggy lighter and it'll work"?

I've got a pivot shift light that works off the ciggy lighter and I'm still confused as to how they managed to pick up those slight changes in voltages and trigger the shift light... I tried turning lights on and off to offset the shift light system but it doesn't actually go off...

find the purple wire with a white stripe that goes into your ecu and put a switch on it, when the switch is closed the car will act like normal with the speed cut but when you open it the engine check light will come on but you can go over 180... no need for expensive gadgets

These shift lights use circuitry that picks up the electromagnetic signals output by your ignition system. Same way any good scope looks at duty cycle etc.

is this for a 4agze?

Is that tried and tested? Because usually when CEL comes on you go into limp mode.

lol, just like when you put a switch in for VTEC. Engine check light comes on and rev limits to 6500ish until you restart the car

btw, VTEC at idle sounds stupid
