Just wondering the steps I have to take to remove the governer on my 04 Acura Tl won't let me exceed 100mph

 

thats odd.
the governor is set to 120 on some models and 150 on others.

 

That's what I said when I could not get past 100 feels like when I hit 100 car just dies

 

Maybe you shouldn't be going near 100 on public roads in the first place.

 

Unless this is strictly for the drag strip or track, I'm not going to tell you!

 

The TL won't hit 100 in 1/4 mile completely stock, will it?

 

If Fast and Furious has taught me anything, it's that shifting gears every two seconds will get me up to 100 in 1/8 mile!

 

oh, that might be the automatic's 4th gear WALL.

 

Not sure what to tell you. I have set the cruise at 138 mph before and jammed out for about 10 miles.

Just don't hit a pothole going that fast.

My governor is set at 150 and she will do it.

 

im pretty sure ive gone past 100 mph a couple of times without it bogging down or dieing. i have an 05 TL 5AT

 

It's all about 4th gear vtec. That will put you over 100mph, and leave 2 gears left.

You should be able to get close to 150 in 5th gear vtec for the extra power.

But I do not condone breaking any posted speed limit signs. Follow your local, and state laws while driving.

 

looks like we need to step our games up!

 

Autos cant do this.

 

Who in their right mind buys an auto TL though.

I mean seriously. ITS 2013.

 

HEY NOW!! be nice!

 

On a closed course my 5AT TL can go over 100 MPH with ease. I have zero intention of trying to max out it gets a little shakey even before that.

 

 

^well he technically DID have his car.

that exchange always bugged me.

 

The fastest I have gone in my 04 base TL auto is 135..

 

I love these movies. and F&F 6 is coming out 2 days after my birthday!

 

Of course why would I be going 100 other than on a track I follow the rules just wanted to see if anybody else had this problem and how did they solve it

 

try explaining it better.

its not the Arnold(The Governor)
so, we dont know what else it could be.

 

Somehow I see this being something deeper than just removing a piece...

 

I've done close to 135 in my car on closed roads in Mexico.

 

YOU BOYS LIKE MEJICO????? a

 

How confident are you that the issue lies within the governor? There could be a small possible chance that you won't break 100 with it removed. Maybe your car is losing power?

 

yup, I hit 180 in my tl once. Than I woke up.

 

You spelled "ebrake" wrong.

 

No TL has a 100mph top speed limiter. Something is wrong with your car if it won't do more than 100mph.

IIRC all 04-06 models and 07-08 6MT Type-S models are limited by drag to 150-160mph (varies obviously). They do have an electronic limiter, but it's pretty much unreachable in stock form. 07-08 base and Type-S models with the 5AT are limited to 130mph, which is reachable in stock form.

Here's a video of a 5AT base model (the slowest of all TLs) easily breaking 100mph.

 

I've done 135 in my TL when I had it on an empty highway in Mexico.....

 

no way thats the governor. unless your driving a school bus.

 

You guys are funny....


....but, to answer the OP's question-to remove the governor, doesn't it require a 2/3's vote?

 

It really bothers me that the 04-06 base TLs can do 150 yet the Type-S AT is limited to 130.

 

I got mine to 120 in a Walmart parking lot...

 

Is it annoying not being able to go over 130. I hear ya. Get hondata drive 150.

 

How many miles is on your TL?

 

And this whole time I felt like my 04 TL had nothing on the later models...I feel a bit of consolation in that now, even though I will never have a need to go that fast.

 

OP:

 

Hopefully Innacurate will chime in. I'm sure he's already removed it for weight loss purposes.

 

I just tell the cop its all relative. In some frames of reference I'm doing the speed limit.
