hey whats up ppl i have another question to ask do any of the tl have a governor from 99 and up ??

01tl4tl

yes they have a speed limiter, based on tire speed rating at time of manufacture
ie: may be 120-130mph depending on tire size/make for that model/year

then you get an ignition cutout until speed reduced

boybeasy

so i take thats on all t.l's ?

I've gotten my TL to about 149ish MPH on empty fwy at night.
Takes a while to get there and its a bit scary, dont recommend going that fast, but when I hit that it felt like it could still keep pushing for more speed, but you do feel the ignition cut out at this point.

Accelerator doesn't respond to led foot at a certain point

Yes, they all have it. The 2nd gens all are at 149

Please turn in your man card!


my has always been very solid at those speeds.

alexh1266

Lmao.. solid yes.
I was also riding on some cheap sunny tires which felt like any little groove or pebble in the road would throw me into the center divider lol.

Got to 130mph. I wanted to find out what the limiter was, but some motorcycle cop got in the way. Good to know it's 149.

it takes a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnng time to get there
I didnt know they were all set that high,,thought tire size and type played into it.

take your car to the racetrack for a high performance school day/track day
to find out what fast really is!

k7 how long is your license suspended for? 130!! mandatory weekend downtown?

You think the tracks have a stretch that far? I don't think a stock TL could get to 149 without a ridiculously long stretch of road.

I was 17, he let me go with a speeding ticket of "85+mph" so it was still considered a civil moving violation. Took a class and completely erased it.

I've seen a youtube video of a 3g tl get to 149. Has anyone removed the limiter, and broke 150?

I thought the fuel cutoff was at 147 since our V-rated tires are set for 149?

I wanted to see if I can break the 150 barrier with the turbocharger and AEM ECU, but things change. I'm sure it can be done, just make sure your tires are rated for it.

My car never took that long to get there. (either motor) From 70 it took about a mile

fsttyms1

Its in our ECU, our ECU cant be reprogrammed

fsttyms1

You will far exceed the 150 with a turbo (as long as you can get rid of the limiter) They way mine hits the limiter i highly believe 165 is possible (though the 6 speed gearing is much better for this)

boybeasy

this sucks why cant we reset the ecu

fsttyms1

Because the way they made it. The prom can't be rewritten to.

Perhaps Not only the Joy that he could exceed the limiter! But the Time it takes to get there will be much much lower < I like That... Fuck Top Speed!
