i was driving in an undisclosed area the other day. i hit approx 110mph and all power to my car was shut off. my old s14 just kept goin. do s 13s have limiters in them or is something wrong with my car. also if it is just a limiter how do i get rid of it.. is it programmed into the ecu or is it something i can remove.

115mph limiter, built in ECU. Can swap an AT ECU. But I doubt your car needs to be doing that mph, especially on public roads.

ah come on guys lets be real. All of us have cruised at tripple digit speeds! Lol I'm not sure if an auto ecu works for that but a simple eprom tune will get rid of that governor.

I re-state, AT ECU has no Speed cut, you just may have a little jumpy idle (not very often) with AT ECU on MT car.
