no, U need to convert to a obd1 ecu, and have it chipped.

Speed Governer? My EM1 doesn't have one. I am pretty sure I have the same ecu could be wrong. I have had it to the end of the speedometer a few times.

yea i dont think there is one... if so when does it "govern" cuz ive seen 140mph on more than 1 occasion

You would most likely hit the rev limiter before you ever hit top speed limit on a Civic...

8k revs in an em1 with 15" wheels is 140mph in 5th give or take a few

Well the top speed of some trannys are 160+.

No.

PS - Type like a normal human being. Contrary to your belief, people are less likely to want to help the guy who posts in all bold, huge text, colored text, or all caps.

Wrong.

According to my search on here, redline for an Si is supposed to be about 8200rpm.

So in 5th gear, it's capable of doing 153 mph at 8200 rpm, 155 mph at 8300 rpm, 157 mph at 8400 rpm, or 159 mph at 8500 rpm. I hear they start getting sluggish around 7800 rpm though, which would be 146 mph.

Also, a lot of Civics don't have a speed governor. Some just run out of power. But usually, when you're trying to go as fast as you possibly can in a stock Civic in a reasonable amount of time, you have to shift down to 4th (at least you do in EXs, and it wouldn't surprise me with Sis either).

my friends 98 dx has a speed govenor too we were doin 105 and it just stopped, we were like wtf
so if you just rechip the ecu it should go away in theory?

 

[civic98turbo]

no speed governer on mine...P72-b16a

a cheap way is to just remove the vss plug.

 

[lilwhitecoupe]

vss plug huh? is it legit?

 

[civic98turbo]

correct me if i'm wrong...but removing the vss plug would kill the speedo right?
