anyway to get rid of the govenor??

[midwestgalant]

anyway to over ride the 115mph gov. on a 2000 4cyl. galant?
i was working on my car today and i took it out on a test drive and it wouldnt go over 115 and my tach was only reading 3500rpm and i had plenty of pedal left on the car ????

am i going to need a chip or can i reprogram the ecu or something???

please help I need to go faster!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

[Sowndwayv]

when i hit 115 my pedal was down to the floor already https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

please....please...please don't worry about your top speed. That is how you kill people. If you're going to street race (which i do, but only safely i.e when there are no other cars around and i am alone in my car) then do it from a light or a slow roll. Highway racing is stupid stupid stupid, I know of one person, at least, who is lucky to get out of a game of highway cat and mouse with his life, but unfortunately he almost killed a father in a jeep wrangler.

It's all in the acceleration. Don't try and go 115 or faster on the highway. Try to make 115 your 1/4 trap speed.

[midwestgalant]

we race up and down a 12 mile stretch of back roads in the middle of the country duing the late late night and no one is around
the road is nothing but straits and 90 degree turns with a few S curves
it is the best place to race but you have to have a good top speed for the 3 differant 2 mile straits

dont worry we make sure noone is on the road when we race we take hella country cornersall we have to worry about is deer and turkeys

Well I know that on some years the eclipse didnt top out. You could switch the ECUs.

[screamoboy85]

Listen pal, I have personal experience with speed, i had a freind killed due to it and i wanted to scream at him. i also live on a windy and i put my old car in a nasty ditch. ill post pics soon

[atx]

sooo is there anyway to take off the governer?

[midwestgalant]

none of you answered my Q
I know the dangers of speed I've been in a high speed crash in a GTS eclipse doing about 145 or so i cant really remember

SPEED IS LIKE CRACK ONCE YOU HAVE IT YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE

No joke, I crashed @ 90 MPH, flipped 3 times. I was never into cars before then, but after my crash everything changed. I wanted to go faster. :twisted: Its not that I didnt learn my lesson, I felt that I had learned a lot. Most importantly I learned when/where its acceptable to speed.

what year is your car cuz i do 120 easy ive got a 01 cali spec 4cyl one time it went pass 120 but then i hit fuel cut thats some scary stuff when your going 120+ in the dark alone lol

and you guys who are realizing how much you love cars by wrecking them going ~145mph, i'd like you to know that you have my nomination for the Darwin Award.

I dont think anyone wants to contribute to something that could result in your death or serious injury. Work on getting your car's 1/4 mile time below 14, that is an enormous challenge in itself. My old chevy lumina Z34 could do 140 but what's the point? My buddy launched himself 100 feet into the air by hitting a ditch at 100mph...he will never be the same again...

[BiGSHUN]

my boy has a '99 G and his car just cut off after he went past 120mph once. on my car ('01) i've gone past 120mph a few times...one time in particular when i was racing a SS Monte Carlo, it went well past 120mph. i thought all cars had that governer until i drove mine like i did.

All 1999 8g's dont have that annoying governor. Not that Im saying its aight to be over triple digits but thats how to get there.

I personally dont like TCL...TRC of whatever Mitsu calls it these days. I like to drive the car I dont like fighting against the car inorder to get it to do exactly what I want, also can do with out ABS for that matter..opps already took care of that https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

damn i need ona those (99ecu)....so many parts so little money...he b...lemme get a loan https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

[atx]

my 99 i went about 120 but now i have rims n tires n it maxes out at 115 and its a 99 when i maxed it out i was so dissapointed the rpm wasnt high and i heard in here that i had no governer.!

[cruznnus]

120 thats it? dont you have a V6...oh yea my comment about the 99 ecu not having a limiter refers to ONLY I4 owners opps lol What performance mods do you have all I see in you profile is visual stuff?

how much does that hks speed thing cost? how would u install it? how fast do u think the V6 would top out at with that? any help would be cool

[Mante]

how fast do u think the V6 would top out at with that?

V6 stock without limiter probrably wont do anymore then 130-135. To me the v6 feels sluggish at 100 and up.

thats ok. you can take jet blak. hes a v6 traitor :wink:





jk. take me too. i wish it wasnt so hard to get to our spark plugs.

i wish it wasnt so hard to get to our spark plugs.

Yup yup, I feel your pain. Best way around it is just pratice doing it time and time again then it may be as easy as a I4 lol

hahahahaahahahaa, that sucks man. V6s would be able to pull higher speeds easier than the I4. but damn, i feel bad for you speed hungry 8G guys, i hit 115 at least 3-4 times a week going to school. there's this huge straightaway 2 miles long thats soooo flat (i have coilovers, must have flat road) and you can see if there are any cops, so neeedless to say, speed test every day. i think its 121 the highest i've been on there, just a god damn minivan got in the way, a good 1/2 mile ahead

Yup you read my mind, nevertheless a galant topping out at 115 -120 disturbs me greatly.

[Galant_01]

The 8G V6 has a Computer Limited Fuel Cutoff at 128 MPH. I have hit this about 100 times. It feels like the cars almost dies! There really is no way around this unless you reprogram the ECU because that is what does this. I do beleive this is the same across all 3.0L V6 Galant's.

[Jet Black]

Now whats really tickling my curiosity is why in the world did the Mitsu guys decide to give the sportier galant a fuel cutoff, and the normal one no fuel cutoff. Is the fuel cutoff supposed to be some kind of luxury? Its not like I wouldnt notice I was going 128 mph.

[Gilhuly]

Getting rid of the cutoff would require stand alone engine management.

[silver2k2]

I think all 8G's have fuel cutoffs whether they're 4 or 6 cyl. I have a 02" I4 and mine kicks in at about 125!!!

[Jet Black]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Gilhuly)</div><div class='quotemain'>Getting rid of the cutoff would require stand alone engine management.</div>

Stand alone engine managment, or stand alone fuel management. Or are they the same?

Not accurate, as stated earlier the 99 I4's do not have hte limitation.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Jet BLaK)</div><div class='quotemain'>
Stand alone engine managment, or stand alone fuel management. Â*Or are they the same?</div>

They are different, the standalone engine managment or EMS can control everything under the hood minus the trans I believe. Spark, # cylinders, ignition timing, boost controller INCLUDING the fuel etc etc. Alittle more expensive but gives you total control. Where as the fuel managment can only control the fuel usually can also add more injectors to the vehicle

Dont worry Im not any happier about it, in fact I just lost to a 90 horsepower VW Gulf.
