top out in 4th

[eastcoastchaos]

i've read the faq about the speed governer thing, it says there is just the one little yellow and green wire to cut and then i can continue to acceleate into 5th gear. now i think i found the correct wire in the little bundle of wires just to the left of the battery? well now to the point of this post. i'm scared, does this really work and will anything else get screwed up like my tach or speedometer. has anyone actually tried this, and if this little trick falls through, can i fix what i've done. thank you. peace

Unplug the speed sensor on teh transmission.

[sideshow]

did you read the responses? and unplugging the speed sensor is a great idea if you like geussing your speed.

[UncleBen]

sideshow, what in the H E double L does your signature mean? I took the time to read that whole thing and just completely dont understand it.

[D1SR240]

I've never heard of this way, but if you try it let me know if it works I'd really like to know.

[TurboKA37]

yea sideshow i read ur sig in another thread. wtf?

[GEO]

no, just the speed sensor in forth gear.

[spec240]

sideshow, about the sig??????????????

[cowboyrps13]

his sig is talking about how people do drugs and wont stop even if loved ones want them too, cause they are addicted, and if you take it away and have something better, then they will jump out a window:D

So what does his dad offering him the golden hammer have to do w/ it? Is that like his dad offerind him chronic instead of mids?

[cowboyrps13]

its a better, more desireable product

i dont know what mids are, but if chronic is better, then yes, thats what its like

DEEP THOUGHTS WITH JACK HANDY

[scott]

i have a 93 240sx and me and a friend had to unplug two sensors on the transmission and cut one wire on the ecu. we tried doing one at a time first. its been over a year now so i cant really remember which one did what, but if you only do one it will increase the speed governer by 5-10 mph. so you we had to do both. before i blew the motor in my car last weekend i could get 5th gear up to about 5500-5700 on a really long straight. i wish i knew how fast we were going because it seemed like we were really hauling assss.

[drifter_for_life06]

In my opinion it would be chronic over mersh, and in my opinion i would read more and ask around a lot mroe before i cut a wire. but thats just me. Bad thigns could happen if you cut the wrong wire. :rolleyes

[[Zero-S]]

Its the YELLOW wire...afaik. Disconnecting the speed sensor on the transmission can be horrible.

You know whats even better to get rid of the limiter...and ECU remap. No cutting, no disconnecting, just a software reprogram. (Sounds like the best route to me)

[toki]

since this thread is alive again, i havn't read the write up recently or know which wire(S) to cut, but as long as you have a soldering iron and and come electrical tape, you can put the wires back together, wrap them up, an everything will be hunkydory.

[drifter_for_life06]

Sounds risky, but if its your only option then go for it

who does ecu reprograming? jwt dosent do upgraded ecu's for 96 up 240's just so happends i have a 96 and tired of lil civics finally catching up 5 mins after i pull them because damn car becomes gutless once it hits 118mph or so.

[drifter_for_life06]

Ahhh, god damn civics, you need to find a solution ASAP and beat the **** out of the civic boys.

[TurboKA37]

whats it matter? u kno that u have the faster car and i dont think it u should go much faster without some suspension mods.

[Sliding_S14]

minor suspension mods like? stiff springs and kyb gas struts? just so happends i do have some minor suspension mods. most the little civics/honda's dont do much when im rolling around in third its on the freeway they seem to want to play.

I wish I knew....I heard something about soldering a new socket connector to the ECU so you can literally get rid of the old rom, and reflash a new EEPROM to suit your needs. AFAIK this is harder than just buying a standalone, piggyback, cutting the yellow wire, or JWT reprogram. I would love to be able to have my ultralight (my tiny little laptop) in my car giving me readings of everything going on tho... (which would be how you reprogram the new EEPROM)

[drifter_for_life06]

ZERo that would be soo badass, if anyone knows who does reprogramming please post it on here.

[Sliding_S14]

I dont need anything fancy but im not going to go out and start snippin wires off the trany or the ecu. right now i dont have the kind of money it takes for using a laptop and a auto program to regulate my car.

[drifter_for_life06]

Godo idea, it will most likely end up costing a pretty penny

[Sliding_S14]

im going to the sac get together this friday so might go down early and spend the day searching for shops that do ecu reprograming.
