Thanks for the input though, Much appreciated. Nice to know someone cares !

Oh I misunderstood the question. I have known about this limiter but never heard of anything to bypass it. As others have stated, it does exist.

I could make the argument that speed limits are far more dangerous than unrestricted roads.

eTiMaGo · 10-25-2006, 04:43 AM

Even that's not safe... One time in Malaysia, made the mistake of getting on a bus which was racing another one across town... Scary...

Back to the thread topic (damn to all of you thread snippers)

There was atleast in my intrepid a device called a Governor which would stop your engine at a certain speed. All you had to do was remove the governor and there goes your "speed limit"

barryware · 10-25-2006, 11:03 AM

Now that we are past the "Speeding Is Bad" thing....

I can not speak for the Yaris as I have never tried to see what the "electronic limits" are. But most cars today have both a rev limiter and a speed governor.

For instance, my 03 Ford Sport Trac, while sitting in the driveway in park will not rev past 2700 RPM. The rev limiter starts firing every other injector to keep the RPM's low. I have a 99 Accord where the engine will not go past 6700 RPM or so. I don't remember exactly but when I was playing with it in lower gears to feel the VTEC kick in, the engine started cutting out somewhere below 7K.

Again... I don't personally know but a friend of mine states his corvette is limited to 140 mph.

There are performance chips and/or modules available to circumvent the controls. I could see the bypassing the MPH but I would rather keep the rev limiter in tact. It has happened before where I am hauling a$$ down the highway and the wife has hit the shifter (by accident) reaching for something and the car went into neutral.. I actually pulled over to listen for a rod knock. Glad the rev limiter was there.

I also hate Governers... here in Ohio there are 2 jackasses running for Governer :)... Oh yeah... wrong Governer... anyway my 00 Blazer had a speed limiter @ 95mph, my wife 03 Alero has one at 115 mph as well... when I hit 115 in my Yaris I can tell she still has some more in her... damn goverment puts regulations on everything don't they?

so... did anyone figure out how to get rid of our speed limiter?

ttufrosty · 10-25-2006, 01:40 PM

Again, experiece from a previous car. My Old 03' Impala's governor was part of the ECU. You had to get one of them fancy expensive tools to read the ECU and the governor was tied to the type of tires you had on your car. From what I remember you could switch the ECU to the type of tire you want to raise or lower the governor. Not quite a chip, but a modificaiton to the ECU.

SeriousBlack · 02-28-2011, 10:50 PM

Gee DarkYaris, didn't you know you were buying a speed limiter when you wrote Toyota Canada a cheque for your Yaris?

I've owned some cars that with 50/50 weighting that handled great - a BMW 3 series and an RX-8 to name a couple. But nothing handled the switchbacks or was funner to drive on winding mountain roads than my Yaris with simple DF210 springs, stock shocks/struts and some sticky 17s. Plus I could buy Red Bulls with the cash I saved at the pump on my road trip.

If you want to go that fast in a straight line, though, do something safer - like getting shot out of a cannon.

^ lmaooo.

Wouldnt a car start reaching its max rev when its topping out?

someone told me the regulator on the yaris really is 115 - 120.
hence why NOONE in this thread has gone over 120 (straight away)

my yaris def felt like it had more to give when i was at 115.
(^if anybody asks x that statement is false btw)

Teruyume, what are you running with that S/C?

barryware · 10-25-2006, 02:45 PM

You can also contact JetChip (www.jetchip.com). They did a custom chip for my son's firebird. Gm has a replaceable ROM in the ECU. I don't know about Toyota. Jetchip does all kinds of custom stuff and if the ROM is not replaceable, they would either have or make a module.
