KL36 electronic speed limit?

Post by DaMN »

I've made a swap to KLZE engine with JE50 vaf and KL36 ecu.
I tried severl times to chack the car in high speeds and I conldn't speed up over 190kmh, the car just stop to accelerate.
With other ecus I didn't had this problem (K8 ecu and KL03 ecu).

Is the KL36 have electronic speed limit?
If it does,is it possible to cancel it?

someone else will tell you, but there is a wire that you need to cut on the factory harness that is connected to the ECU. I dont know which one cause mine is still there, but there are many that have cut this wire to remove the signal that goes to the ECU

190-195km/h seems to be the limit I hit with the kl36 ecu. That is around 110-115mph.

Here is how to remove that limiter:

Hi Mooneggs thanks for your concern.
Don't you worry, I'm not driving that fast or fast at all most of the time.
It's just irritating that with my K8 engine I was able to go much faster then the KLZE.

BTW, I've cut the wire, I hope it's the right one, the car is still speed limited.
Tommorrow I'll rechack the wire.

I'll keep updating.

By mistake I cut the wrong wire. :oops:
Anyway, now after I found the problem I'm more then happy to tell you that I don't have speed limiter anymore.

Thank you all for your help.
