yes great idea for performance, not so for rev and speed limiter, if u ask data_mine he will tell you why you shouldnt remove the speed limiter and rev limiter unless u have a strong enough motor and a GOOD tailshaft to handle it.

Be really careful when removing the limiter, even in sedans they have been know to let go at around 195 and create absolute hell.


There is a thread on FM, showing a tailshaft that let go on the dyno, creating total chaos.

Otherwise though $1200, sounds dear; a uni chip would do it for cheaper, but it might be worth waiting; tuning inprovements for EF/EL EEC-V are not that far away.

yeah dude ur defenatly right on the equipment on its way but iv spoken to one to many mechanics about these units that will defenetly make tuning easy, but be at a very similar price as what i was quated to remove it...but not in a hurry to speed just got a new tranny and gotta take it easy on this one money doesnt grow on trees...

mate, one wire cut and you lose your speed limiter. the chip bull**** is just that, BULL****! not your rev limiter though. i have a chiptorque and my rev limiter got raised but i left my speed limiter. it is there for a reason, and i dont want my tailshaft hitting me in the face!

Unichip can't remove the limiter.

[Age182]

mi chip torque removed mi speed limiter n as for the rev limiter i dunno iv only let her go till 6 so i dunno wat its set at

[Mr_4.0]

chiptorques only adjust your rev limiter, not your speed limiter mate. i have one and cam, intake, exhaust, idle and rev limiter is all they can do. if you want to get rid of your speed limiter, you need to cut one wire and one wire only. its that easy.

what makes you think your speed limiter is gone?

[EBIIXR6]

whats the speed limiter on a standard Ef/El?

[Mr_4.0]

180km/h

[ON_DUBS]

isnt 180km fast enough for you???

the limiter is there for a GOOD reason, just ask anyone who saw the photos of that EF that snapped the tailshaft on the dyno

[335JET]

has anyone got the pics or a link to them

[Age182]

my speed limiter is gone MR 4.0 because iv taken her to 200kph b4 so dont try tell me its not gone as for the rev limiter who cares its not like ur gonna spin it past 6 neway

Im not going to get lynched for posting a Ford Mods thread am I?

[ON_DUBS]

dont see why

[Age182]

after seeing that i think ill keep her under 150 from now on lol

[DOWN4U]

get a gas conversion. my ef redlines atchrist no's what, and iv clocked atleast 200, from there on in was to skatey for me. is this tru that lpg systems bypass these limitors?

[Mr_4.0]

no they shouldnt bypass it at all. it would have no affect. only the police pack had no limiter. and maybe xr's from memory

[oneredED]

LPG falcons do not have limiters at all in my experience. Maybe the newer "e-gas" falcons do, but pre-AU they don't. This leads me to believe the limiter is a fuel cut, as opposed to spark, hence not working on LPG? I dunno, but they generally don't have them.

What is the wire you talk about cutting , kept hitting the speed limiter on the weekend , 26" tyre , 3:89 diff and at 100mph it was hitting the limiter before the finish line so need to remove it please .
