MY MX-3 wil only go 100 mph this is jsut wrong. The speed governor automatically makes me slow down once i hit 100 mph. I know this car can go faster!!!! <BR>How can I get this fixed?<BR>If I cant change this I'm selling my MX-3 even my 88 MX-6 did 136 mph... PLEASE HELP

What reason do you have to be going that fast anyways?? Your not on the track, how 'bout you spare some lives? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

You have 88hp. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

not sure if this works but u can research it on the web, there is soposively a little way to trick your ecu, by attaching a toggle switch to your MPH guage, when u click the switch it cuts your guage off, and tricks the ecu and turns the governer off, this was actually design to work on some honda's that had that problem, a friend of mine did it to his car, but im not sure if it will work on the mx, and i wouldnt do it cause u have no working guages when u do that, so in my own oppion if u need to go faster than 100 mph, invest more money, cause daves right u only have 88hp how fast do u really think u will go?

do only rs have those? cause on my gs i have hit 110 and could've gone more but caught up to traffic and decided not to endanger peops.

my gs isnt governed, ive toped out at a little over 117 straigh and about 123 down hill

ive hit 105 mph in my SOHC... downhill but hey it was still goin strong.

the fastest I've ever go with my SOHC was 180km/h (around 115mph).

haltech's don't have governors either

I've got my SOHC up to 135mph on level ground, and haven't done any modifications as far as performance goes yet. So you don't really need more then the 88hp it has. As far as tricking the guvoner just disconect the speedometer cable, only problem will be that you dont know how fast your going. But it will bypass it. Good luck don't break anything.

When my stock SOHC motor was in I could do over 130MPH. With the B6T in, it smacked 150MPH like it was nothing REAL quick like! I'm still using my SOHC ECU on the B6T and the only governer I have is the rev limiter @ around 6350RPM. You could have your ECU reprogramed or swap it out with another SOHC ECU from my year (93).

Thanks mx-3 ricer i will be going over 100 mph asap! and sorry maldo that we cant all afford extra nice mx-3s to go to a race track. I'm only endangering my own life anyways

Nobody else on the road with you??<P> [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

i have a question. if you're wanting to go over 100mph and to do this you disconnect the speedo. how do you know if you're actually going over 100mph then?

You could look into a after market Speedometer. I don't know if the APEXi Rev/Speed meter works with mechanicaly driven Speedo's or not...I'm slowly looking into it because I'm thinking about changing up my dash. Does anyone elso know about the APEXi or any others that work with mechanicaly driven Speedo's??? If the APEXi uses it's own sensors then you could leave your stock speedo unhooked all the time & just use the APEXi, but I haven't looked into how they work yet.
