I don't believe that I'm gonna say this, but I'd suggest a search. =)

After that, I've heard both on the boards here and in various shops, that the JWT ECU is a good base level setup to get started with. It removes the speedcut, and adjusts the simple things, like timing and what not for a stock - moderately tuned engine.

I'm not sure what JWT charges the public for their chip.

Greddy Speed Cut Controller Type A

about $70-80.

Post by **BuudWeizErr** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

JWT charges 600 bucks for that ECU.. Honestly, avoid them like the plague if you want to squeeze the most performance out of your engine as possible.

Anyone use the Greddy Speed Cut Controller Type A with their SR?

any reasons as to why?

A tuned ECU is more attractive to me than having to control things manually all the time.

JWT is known for poorly tuned ECUs

Post by **D1SR240** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

I thought the SR didn't have a speed govenor, what is it then? and would that speed cut controller work on the KA, sorry kinda of dumb questions.

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

yes, the SR does have a speed governor

no, it the cut controller wouldn't work with the KA

I can't find that greddy speed cut for sale anywhere

you can get an Apexi rev speed meter it will also get rid of the governor.

Ummm... aside from the cost factor, the fact is that you get a generic map for each mod and not one custom tailored for your setup? If you don't want to control stuff manually, I would suggest you not have hopes of going too far in the tuning/modification world.

EDIT:

As for the speed cut question, my buddies cuts at 118. Mine... I had it at over 180KM/H and it hadn't cut out yet, so I'm not sure if it's the same for all SR's or if it goes off some other variable.

Post by **Touring240** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

I've hit 192km/h (on a closed course) before it cut out once. some times it cuts higher sometimes lower. I need a rev speed meter.

Post by **ItzGenX** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

When I had my KA, I got it to 120mph without cutting (never did cut). After I installed my SR and such, I have been 155mph so far and no cut. I don't have a tuned ecu or anything, it just doesn't cut.

how do u wire in the greddy??

Post by **240SXer** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

Has anyone used the greddy? I know the Apex Rev/speed meter has a built in govenor removal thingie. That is about 220, i'm not sure about the cost of wiring it, but 220 vs. 80 for the greddy speed cut, you get a lot more out of the Apex. Depending on how hard each are to wire up, but I think i'd rather get the Apex...

With regards to the JWT ECU, they get a bad rep for not tuning their ECU's to the extreme limits. It's important to realize that a JWT ECU is tuned SAFELY. They err on the side of caution, so that they don't have pissed off customers coming back and saying, your tuned ECU blew up my car!

I'd rather lose a couple of horsepower, than drive around in a vehicle that I'm always wondering whether or not it's going to pop.

Of course some people get boners for knowing that they're riding right on the edge of disaster. If you're one of those people, and live close enough to JWT to get your car tuned on their dyno, I'm sure that they'll push your engine as far as you want them to.

what is the speed limiter on the SR, like what MPH?

Post by **Touring240** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

180 km/h or 112 mph

I've never found any shops that sell the greddy speed cut and I don't know of anyone who has it installed. I would like to talk to them. but I will just be getting an Apexi RSM evenutally.

Some lucky people don't have a cut at all.

My cut seems to be missing. What I thought was previously a cut, turned out to be high RPM spark scatter. Gapping the plugs much smaller did wonders.

I detoured around an accident on the 5 and got blessed with a rare OPEN stretch of freeway. I pegged the speedo and spun the tach up to 7000 RPM in 5th. I'm not sure how fast that was, but it sure felt a lot faster than 112mph.

we distribute for Greddy and I've been calling them since May for a speed cut contoller for my SR and they've been backordered for the longest time......Matt told me that he had 90 sold and none in-stock over the summer......I finally gave up towards end of august cause it was so late in the season......and I'm gettin a new ECU remap this winter.....BTW- I took her out for the last ride of the season today.......GOD im gonna miss her =*(......she be ready to rock in the spring though........

93Nis..

Very nice car!! :ylsuper

It must be nice to live in a place where you can still get away with doing that kind of tuning to your car, and still be able to drive it on the street. I wish that I could make my car that blatantly bad *** looking, and still drive it work.

I'd paint it another color though, I'm not a big fan of red cars. The body kit looks good though. How big is that woofer? It looks like a 12. Does the glass rattle at all, with being right above the bass box and all?

1....I get harassed by my local PD about my exhaust becuase in the state of NH autos aren't supposed to be louder than stock....i got 12 tickets for exhaust this year alone (may till oct) if they cathc me again the last cop said ill loose my license for 6 months.......2ndly I'm painting the car black when i have the new bomex front put on.....3rdly its a kicker solobaric 15 and it shakes the neighborhood.....they state doesn't hassle me for anything else.....(like my illegal motor) just my exhuast......i haven't got any tickets this yeaqr for anything but exhuast i figurede when i got the motor i would loose my license for speeding too much but i havent been caught yet.....actually 1 road racing but he let us go..........i hate NH

Have you taken a look at the laws on the books in your state? Here in CA, they have to measure the decibel rating. If they have similiar laws in NH, you might look into getting it certified. Ie, get a silencer or whatever to get the volume level down, then voluntarily go down to the police station and have them test it for you.

At the very least, the local cops will know that you're making a concerted effort to comply and theoretically cut you a little slack.

Just cut the yellow and green ECU wire going into your ECU BAM instant no speed limiter!

Post by **GTS4-R** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 7:42 am

PHAXI don't see that happening the Nashua police force just doubled its size ogf units and the station itself within the last 2 years....there is too many diaper cops (rookies) with too much to prove. I mean really.....I saw one and rolled down a hill in neutral the whoel time he was behind me and he still pulled me over saying it was too loud even though it was in neutral........they're complete ***holes....as for the law its not a set decibel (CA is 95db) the law says not to produce more noise that that muffler which was origanlly equipped on the vehicle.

Go here for the law......... http://www.gencourt.state.nh.u...9.htm

which was adapted in 1983 and has no purpose becuase motorcycles can be 106 db so whos really waking people up and if thats not why.....then WHY?

Trust me theyre out to get me........12 tickets in 5 months! They even pull up tome on their bicycles to pull me over.....

cutting the yellow wire?......won't that kill ur speedo too??!!

yellow with green stripe you mean?

I'll believe it when I see someone post a pic of their cluster doing the mod and them going over the limiter. my friend tried it and it didn't work.

i agree. as far as JWT is concerned, this thread is the first time i've heard people complain about JWT. granted, if you send your ECU off to someone, it's not going to get tuned to your car specifically, but at least it's getting a remap that will help it more than the stock map.

and even without pushing the car to the extreme, you can still get a proper fuel remap on a dyno and still leave the car reliable.
