Speed Governor in Sis?

Si2Typ3R · 01-30-2008, 10:48 AM

Lets try this again..... (Allow me to re-word my thread supermod......sigh) Does our Si have a speed governor that cuts off fuel supply before hitting VTEC in 6th gear?? can this be turned off or does the hondata reflash remove this?

I would also like to know. I believe I heard before 160 MPH.

On the 06 there is no speed governor.. just a rev limiter. And plus you wouldn't be able to go fast enough to hit that in 6th unless you had an extremely long stretch of pavement to achieve it on. Of course a downgrade would help lol.

now of course if you have F/I.. you can see where the speedo goes crazy because the AJP car made it max out

Then again I also heard 120 which I have proven to be false :)

IIRC, 06s do not have a speed limiter....but stock, the car lacks the toque to get above 5800 in 6th gear.

07+ have a speed limiter.

the reflash will not help your top speed on theh 06. and it will not remove the speed limiter on the 07+.

Theres a video on a dyno of an 06 si.. where he showed the car can get up to 157 until it hits the rev limiter.

TOV guys also did this as well when the FG2 first came out but with a pre-production model but it still hit 157 mph on the rollers

I have an air strip my unlce owns that I used to test my top end, got to 143 and it cut me off before VTEC in 6th. had the torque then...... CUT fuel supply ended. how can I disengage this governor?

hell no I didn't lol. It is a sanctioned spot. My uncle owns it for that very reason! Its a legitimate business thing, People pay him to run their cars out on the air strips. no there are no lights or time slips, but its not a drag strip. I love illinformed thread locks based on misunderstandings....

FG-JOE · 01-30-2008, 11:04 AM

you could only go so fast in the streets. its not like the speed limit say go as fast as you can.

Si2Typ3R · 01-30-2008, 11:39 AM

so does the hondata reflash release this governor?

NIGHTHAWKSI · 01-30-2008, 11:40 AM

^ no

Si2Typ3R · 01-30-2008, 11:42 AM
