133mph governor????

***Chase*** · 02-17-2007, 10:49 AM

OK So I finally found a flat road long enough to attempt a high speed run, and I find that at 133mph 5900RPM the car jerks as if fuel is cut, drops to 132 and then back up to 133... WHAT IN THE HELL?? I thought there was no governor on this thing? I posted this in the vehicle issues forum because I consider it a problem.. I have Si number 2355 manufactured in November 06

I was doing a steady 128-130 the other day with an Audi, and had no problems at all. Of course, I was a few mph off from your speed. Did you try a search for speed limiters?

dsg2003gt · 02-17-2007, 12:31 PM

yes the are governed it is somewhere around 130. I was watching some video of a guy on a dyno and it wouldnt go any further, and I think I read it in a review somewhere. There is another thread on this, but I dont think they really knew...They all said it was aero drag. Sorry but aero drag doesnt send a fuel cutoff...

even if it wasnt governed it would still only top out around 140 or so.

yes there are many threads about this issue and to the OP: pretty much going to the dealership to tell them your car's top speed is 133 and you're upset bc it won't go any further than that...please videotape it and post it on youtube. I wanna get some laughs out of it.

ulbsry02 · 02-17-2007, 12:59 PM

ive seen the fg2 dyno and it like 156 i think, i do know it was more than 133

subieguy83 · 02-17-2007, 01:03 PM

yeaa, the tov si hit somewhere around the 150+ range on their hub dyno but i got stuck at 133 when i tried it. i went to the top of 5th which was around 133 or so, then switched to 6th but when i switched to 6th, i just started slowing down for some reason

TJ213 · 02-17-2007, 01:10 PM

I also remember seeing a video (from someone on this site) where he does 253, hitting the limiter in 6th, on a patch of ice

goofygamer · 02-17-2007, 01:46 PM

The highest I've went to in my Si is 135..had to slow down because girls aren't very fond of high speed driving. haha

fernando47 · 02-17-2007, 01:48 PM

all mine does is 133 mph.

goofygamer · 02-17-2007, 01:49 PM

Have you noticed when you hit 6th, the car doesn't seem to accelerate as quickly as the other gears? I feel like mines' a turtle in 6th.

shglbmx · 02-17-2007, 02:23 PM

137mph and slowed down.

rmfa · 02-17-2007, 02:50 PM

I went 137 on Thursday of last week. I shifted into 6th at 135 and went 2 more and hit the brakes.

Werkt06Si · 02-17-2007, 07:13 PM

Skylinegtr06 · 02-17-2007, 07:16 PM

I think I know why. I don't believe the summer tires are an option in Canada. This means that they get the factory all seasons. They are only rated for 130MPH. :)

Skylinegtr06 · 02-17-2007, 07:22 PM

I was going to say canadians get the 133 but the guy who started this thread is from texas, so now i dont know.
