I have a Soch 240sx with the gay speed limiter. I've been searching in nico and only seem to see people write about the doch 240's. I was wondering if this also works for the kae's also. If not, then are there other solutions? I found a post on nico but it was about a 93 kade and the speed limiter and they said a Dohc auto ecu would work fine in a dohc manual, but does this also work for the sohc kae? Any help and response would be appreciated.

My car used to be automatic. I have a SOHC. The car is now 5 speed. I still have the auto ECU.

Yes, it works.

It works but throws up the check engine light, you can bypass it but once you bring it in for inspection it will throw a code on the mechanics computer and keep you from getting a "legal" inspection pass.

sure it will work, but why? when would you ever need to go 115mph (or whatever the speed limit is set at)? never mind faster than that.

haha good question...

but i guess its just good to know that i can go pass 115mph and the knowledge to know that it works for ka24e's is good too

alright then. Thanks guys!

btw...

it has to be a ka24e auto ecu and can't be ka24de auto ecu to work right?
