Speed limiter

[JGTC]

My boy has a 93 lx accord, when he hits 110mph it totally brakes or throws to the front, instead mine is a 90 dx and i keep on going to 120mph as soon as it touches 120mph it stops but doesn't break my neck like my boys. Can somebody explain this to me, or is it that mine doesn't hava a limiter?

Dragging brakes?

[JGTC]

nope it just touches 110 and the fuel cuts roughly and brings it down to 105, and mine stops in 120 and stays there

[C91BLX7]

I know...

Both manual?

[JGTC]

yessir

It just cuts the fuel, if i'm not mistaken only the PT3 has the speed limit. I know the PT6 doesn't because well I've tried it. Anyways no need to be going that fast anyways.

[JGTC]

that's true i don't need to but it's weird the way it cuts and both of us have pt3 manual

i have a pt3 5 speed like you guys do.
when i hit 110 it just doesnt push any further.
it doesnt buck or anything like your describing.
im not sure what the problem could be

if you have an LX or DX your not gunna hit 130+ or anything like that. your car has a speed limiter because it came from the factory with low MPH rated tires. firestones I think. they also have the PT3 ECU. in it is the speed limiter program.

now if you have an EX SE you can go as fast as the engine will take you because they came with high speed rated tires. michelins I believe. in these theres the PT6 ECU. it has no speed limiter.

if you want a PT6 get the 30 posts, read the cassifieds rules, & look around in there. many people are selling that ECU withOUT the speed limiter

not under the seat, but where your feet go. under the carpet.

It's also not a direct fit under the kick plate. It's bigger than the stock pt3, but in a five speed, without the TCU, it's not a big deal. There's a couple of DIYs on swapping and securing the p12, just do a search.
