Does anybody know..how to turn off the speed limiter without any negative effect ive allready install piggyback but the SL still kick in, is there a D.I.Y thread about this..!! that device is really pist me off...!! i got smoked by a mb slk 230 compressor...please help me fellow 8 lover... thanks

 

you're going faster than 145mph? on the street? bah. that's not cool.

 

(shrug). Nothing wrong with that - depends on the situations. Speed doesn't hurt anyone. Poor driving hurts people.

 

The speed limiter is there so you dont kill yourself doing something stupid like racing a MB SLK 230 on the road

 

I'm convinced people back east aren't aware there exists miles - tens of miles - SCORES Of miles of uninhabited flat, straight freeway out west.

hehe

Maybe he was racing the Merc on a track? :D

 

nope...we have really really big parking lots over here

 

well that's b/c we are in the east...and it's one large suburb/city lol

 

Don't know about those western states, but it's impossible in Jersey to drive 10 miles on a highway and not see a cop or three

 

lol that's b/c you have so many doghnut shops in Jersey hehehe

 

hehe Dude 'could' be in Europe too, I suppose.

here's a taste of what we have out here:



More:


Insterstate 90 can be desolate. Here is the 'twisty' part. lol :D


Just a side note, I was reading King County (where Seattle is) is, by itself, larger than FOUR states.

 

Here's what I have

 

LMAO!

Yeah - it's that way in Western WA...near the cities.

 

those roads look like alot of fun.

 

Surprised nobody asked.. how were you doing before 145?

 

there is no speed limit in indonesia and i'm racing in track old air field on night battle event...!!! anybody has a suggestion for the SL i'm racing again this weekend... ???

 

What gear are you hitting the limiter?

 

I thought there wasn't a limiter in our 8. It is only "drag limited" to 145mph or something.

 

no limit in 6th, but 5th has the limiter.

 

i've had no problem exceeding 145mph (149 is my top), and no problem destroying a little kompressor benz on the highway

 

the SL kick in at 5th gear 187 km/h never try 6th, my 8 has 218 hp in butt dyno so i expect more than 187 km/h, today i intend to install A'pexi rev/speed meter it said it can bypass the SL...so wish me luck

 

Speedaholic, looks like yours is the JDM model, so the speed limiter is set at 187kmh. Well, let us know if the Apexi stuff helps.
