Anyone know about cars?

[AustinMan]

Alright heres the deal. I own a 92 Honda Accord and it seems to have some kind of engine limiter (governor) and it limits the speed of the car to 120.. Well me being the daring dumbass wants to unlock it. I looked all over on the internet and I came out to find that its a Fuel Shutoff thing that is comming from the Speedo/ECU after it hits 120. I'v read at places you can just make a On/Off switch and put it in front of the speedo and the ecu and it will make you lose power to Cruisecrontrol and make your engine light on but will let you go over 120. Then once you turn it on its back to normal. And I'v also read about performance chips, but I dont have a clue which one to get sence all I really want to do is unlock the fuel shutoff thing. So any input would be appreciated. :thumbsup:

I mean dude if its a 92 accord with a small I4 1.8l, it has like 100 horsepower and you arent gonna get much above 120, and you risk permanently damaging the engine if you are going too fast for it to handle.

[AustinMan]

It'll be fine. I understand your concern, but just give me some idea's =D

If I blow it up oh well. =]

[slipknotpsycho]

first, as stated above... you aren't gonna get much above 120 anyways... and you're really risking fucking up the car here... i wouldn't fuck with it.... unless you go to a damn race track, you have no reason to be going above 120 anyway.... leave it alone dude..

but if you must, take it to a shop, or get someoen who knows what they're doing.... do it right....

[AustinMan]

To be honest its not that big of a deal. Most new cars are all unlocked anyways, just happens that all most all early 90's have some type of Limiter.

[AustinMan]

Also, I just hate having hidden horsepower. =] Its just kinda like a thing. Like when I get it to 120 on the drag strip (straight rode) we have through town their is ALOT left.... and I dont feel right not being able to unleash it. =D

WHEN i had my 1986 iroc camaro i had it at 140 damn i shouls have nad the t tops on my hair was messed up

i've never owned a honda accord and dont know what hp they kick out but a 92 i would have thought has lost quite a few horses and you aren't going to get much more than that anyway, if you like old cars which have a bit of kick why dont you get a nissan skyline.

[slipknotpsycho]

dude any hp you just might gain by taking that thing off would so minimal the only, ONLY way you'd know the diffrence would be to use a computer to analyze it..

it's not gonna get you off the line any faster, and at most, you might get a 10 mph higher top speed....

like i said if you're set on doing this, pay someone to do it right.... that minimal hp and overall top speed is not worth fucking up your car....

dude... just leave it alone... its a 92, chances are, stock motor... (what a little 4 banger) i had a strait 6 front wheel drive, and blew it doing 120... and the govenor hadnt even kicked in yet...

by the way... the only way to add more horse power to your car is after market prefromance parts.... taking off a part that shuts the fuel pump off... at a certian speed is not going to give your car anymore horse power... and chances are, if your racing it... not going to make your car any faster... because rarely have i been in a car when we were on the quarter mile doing over 120... the fastest ive been on the 1/4 mile was 140... in a suped up 2000 6 cylender racing built motor... running every preformance part you could find for that car... running the highest priced... and best quality parts... mitsibich eclispe... because a 1/4 mile dosent give you enogh time to reach speeds over about 125 or 130.... by the time we hit 140... he was slaming the breaks on to keep us from hitting a wall head on doing 140....

i have been faster the 140 though... just not on the 1/4 mile...

also think about this... that little fuel pump shut off is put there for a fucking reason...that swich shuts off the fuel pump in any sort of colison, to prevent the fuel pump dumping gas all over the road(i mean yea sure if you fuck your tank up in the crash, its leaking gas out already... but the fuel pump shuts off the fuel lines so that its not pooring gas into a engine fire or something...
