Speed governer - Page 2

looking for interior dark gray with light grayu stripe any advice?

I wouldn't do that speed on the stock Michelins however...You are correct that the governor is there for a reason. Get some z-rated tires.

computer chips are the solution for the speed governor... in I think most cars have them... thats a shame 'cause I think the car could give a lot more! just tryin' out the car i rushed up to 135 milles... I dont know if that implies that my car no longer had the governor It just came yesterday jaja... in my Volvo S60T5 i managed up to 145 milles in my way to school!!! pretty excitin' but a lil risky hehehe...

I would like to see RSX, a 350 Z race because I have driven both of them, and they are both very fast. Has anyone tried the Nissan/ Subaru chip upgrade for the 6 yet?

the z would eat the rsx

and what is this nissan subaru chip upgrade you speak of.
im a nissan person and i know they dont sell chips for those cars.

I too would love an answer to this question,I took mine up to 120mph this morning and that is where the governor kicked in and the pedal went limp on me. Kinda freaked me out at first..lol
Kinda sucks putting all this aftermarket stuff into the Motor,etc then getting shutdown by the car..lol

it's limited by fuel cutoff, so just run a standalone FMU and your golden. i'm running a Haltech and have been up to 140 so far.

is your ride on cardomain.com Mazda0to6ty??? I would like to see your modifications for your ride.

I was wondering which Haltech program you are running? and how much did you pay for it, I am really interested about it. do you have any problems with check engine lights?
Thanks
Dave

it's not program really, it's a a full standalone unit. i have a turbo on the car and it's what i use for fuel...i think you can get one in the 600-800 range? i have the F10X unit

how hard was it to find a turbo manifold for the car?

and is it anything like working with the old ford 2.3 turbo motor out of the mustang/tbird?
there is an amazing aftermarket for those cars, it would be great if it cameover a little bit to us and we could reap the benefits

nothing like he old 2.3's unfortunately...it's the same as the focus and fusion. finding a turbo manifold is easy now, there are a good 4-5 companies to choose from.

Ive got up to 125 in my mazda 6 but then slowed down because their was no one on the free way and i was rollin through air patrol territory. Sketchy. lol. When i had an explorer i had taken it up to 120. lol. that was intense.

unless you're speedo is off from tires, going down hill or not in the US, there is no way to surpass the gov. Unless somehow you got the one freak or something?

i dont know if this will work for ours 6's but. i have a 300+hp ford escort and i hated having all that power and the darn ecu would make the car stop at like 105mph.............so what i did was get the wiring diagram for the ecu and found the wire for speed control and cut it and put a switch in line with it in a nice hidden spot. and when i needed to go faster than the 105mph limit i just flipped the switch and she would accelerate until i was bout to over rev past redline which was about 6200rpms in that car.

so im thinkin the same thing would work any ecu. but for some reason it didnt work with an automatic(it got something to with the speed control being tied in with the shift schedule of the car) the thing would come outta first.........i did it to my boys auto integra and auto escort, but it works on manuals. anyone willing to try it, or do i have to? but i guess i could have tried waiting till i got to my last gear and hit the switch then it wouldnt have to switch gears..........hey maybe i'll go do that right now. but it does work.........only thingg is that if u leave the limit off and turn the car off and start it back up it will throw a speed control code......but easily fixed by flipping the switch and restarting the car........i may try it with my 6

I got up to 120 the other day perfectly fine. Nothing was wrong except I had to slow down because I could feel the car lifting up as the road I was on was super straight, but lots of hills.

I love y 20 year old car's ability to hit 148. I'd never take it up there but just knowing I can kicks ass.

for those of u who got the 2.3
the highest POSSIBLE speed is about 130mph (im still breakin my car in. so i cant b 100% sure)
and heres how i know:

wat do u guys (with the 2.3l) rev at 60mph? around 2900
how bout 80? around 3900 right?
so lets say 3000 and 4000, respectively.

based on the above
100mph:5000rpm
120mph:6000
130mph:6500 < which also happens to be redline
140mph:7000

so for those of u tryina raise the top speed. keep dreamin

the RPM to top speed ratio don't work that way it's not a given ratio 1000 RPM per 20 mp/h.

....ok well anyway i guess you best chance to remove your speed limiter is to bone up ~$400 to have PROFESSIONAL shop, fudge with your Ecu or Pcm or whatever

good call tracker

i dont know if u guys read my previous post about the speed control thing, but it will work.....i guarantee............does anyone have a ecu wiring diagram? i will do it but i dont have a diagram

hmm. I feel like I dont even know you anymore Mazdaservice! No 150 mph speeds? What is that? Joking. I never really knew you anyway.. oh well!

haven't heard from you in a while Mazda Guy how did that CAI thing go?

hey. I got it installed Sunday. It is a good add on. It is not as much of a difference as I was hoping. But it is worth the money!
