Speed Limiter

[riceboy]

Your car is pretty fast... I guess.. for a yaris.... lol.....

My Yaris is Red... Red is the fastest color!

I believe greddy and hks sell Speed limit defensors eliminaters. Not sure if they are univiersal for all cars though.

Well,someone call them,maybe I will,if I have time.

I know that if you buy a megan header,youl get to that top spedd with more ease,and it will help with exhaust sound alittl bit,a fix to this problem would be great.

I'm having an apexi Rev/Spec Meter installed, one of the functions is to lift/modify the speed limiter, so I guess I'll find out if it works on the Yaris (or at lease the Thailand models )!

I don't think there's a limiter removal for our cars. Then again, my LB hits a wall at 100mph. Going that fast in this car is actually kinda scary either way. I miss the handling and predictability of my Miata. :(

I"m afraid of going over 85 mph. You guys are crazy.

If you think going 85 MPH is insane, wait until you see what happens at 88 MPH.


That said, I remember reading a while back that if you pull the e-brake one click (just enough to trigger the light but not enough to make contact with the drum) it would disable the governor. BUNCH OF LIES. D: My hatch fell flat on her face at 115 MPH, which was kind of frustrating, because it felt like she had enough gun to hit 125.

Tailwind? Not sure. I didn't check the weather conditions at the time. But she had life left in her. Looks like I'll have to look into the SLD once forced induction is factored into the equation.


By the way, a side note: a tire's speed rating is to show the maximum speed/friction the tire is capable of handling at max load at 100% constant speed. Short bursts above the rating are at your own risk, but I haven't had a failure yet. My 1987 Supra Turbo was wearing some kind of economy R-rated tire (106 MPH) and I had her up to 165 with no blowout... but again, and I can't stress this enough, it's at your own risk. But you SHOULDN'T have much of a problem if it's just a blast to top speed and then back down to 65 MPH.

As much as I love to go fast I probably will never go over 90 with the Yaris. This thing is to wimpy to try it. My S handled like a beast. !55 was my best with the S, and I've gone 175 in a nicely modded supra. :)(still had room to go, but not enough road)

There is no better feeling than taking a 110MPH turn at the top of 4'th gear with the throttle pinned to the floor and tires squeeling (this is at the racetrack ofcourse )

dont think there is a speedlimiter on the yaris, ive had it up to 118mph and it hasnt had a problem
but the motor cant handle much more than that naturally aspirated
you need some boost to go faster

Did you realise that you did actually reach it???? LOL!!!!!!

[YarisPR]

Its hard to tell if the Yaris are limited and if thats the case at what speed because I have reach 117 and it doesn't go any faster but not because of a limiter its just because its a Yaris for fakes u can't ask more to the 106hp
1.5L car. It simply hasn't enought power to get over that barrier hahaha

We guys need NOS!!!!!!

YEP YEP

[Snake]

when you hit a speed limiter, usually your motor will slow down
the yaris does not slow down at all, it continues at full power at that speed, this means the car is topped out and cant possibly go any faster because of the lack of power
