Governor Chip

Post by **M3SHA** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 9:02 pm

Im not too sure if thats what its acctualy called, thats just what my friend calls it. Well I just bought a 1995 nissan 240sx. I was testing how fast I could get it but I could only get up to 120 and then it almost seems like it dies. This is because there is a chip in it that doesn't allow it to go any faster than 120. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this and hopfully how to remove it. A site with steps or if you could tell me steps with a pic or something. Even info on how much it would cost to get removed would be helpful.thanks

You can cut a wire, or get the computer reprogrammed.

The "chip" is actually part of the ECU, you cant take it out

but like skwerel said, you can cut a speed sensor wire, or get the computer reprogrammed.

If the wire is cut will that effect anything else? Or how much would getting a reprogram cost? also what wire?

If you do a search, or go look at the FAQ on 240sx.org It gives you the details. You will throw a code but it does not hurt the car. I can't remember but give jim wolf an email and they can tell you if it isn't on their page. Check this link http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/ecurest.htm

The cheapest you can get a KA ecu reprogrammed by Jim Wolf Technology is for 500 from http://www.heavythrottle.com or http://www.jgycustoms.com you might want to watch our for sale section, I've seen SEVERAL NA KA tuned ecu's for sale on there at reasonableish prices!

Mmm...that apexi SAFC looks nice...That'll get rid of the governor, right?

just wondering, without the governor, what will be the top speed of a stock 240? I think its somewhere around 5k rpm at 5th gear when your at 120mph

W/o both limiters I heard you can hit like 130 stock.

130 huh... i dont really think its really worth getting the governor out.... cuz really, who will constantly drive over 100mph..?

apexi safc does not get rid of speed governor, the apexi speed meter does - it is around $200
