Hi,

I have a basic fully loaded G20, 1993. I've been driving it around for a while now and one day I decided to see how fast it can go. It peaked at 180 km/h but I felt like as if that wasn't it's full ability. To make things short, Is there a governor on a 1993 G20? If so, how can I disable it or bypass it?

Thanks

Sebastian

It doesn't have a governor/speed limiter. It has a rev limiter which when reached will simply cut off the fuel and drop the rpm's abruptly. I was told that kinda feels like having the car stall at very high speeds.
Not that I care to test it personally.....aranoid:

Hmmm, that converts to about 111 mph? Seems like it wasn't at it's full ability.

I don't believe the US versions have govenors on them.

 

well i'm going to get flamed on the forum, but i'll guarentee you my 94 P10 does not have a gorvernor and i doubt your G does either, since i've gone at speeds in excess of 130mph in my car on empty highways late at night, and if there were a governor in it when it came out of the FACTORY, i guarentee i would have hit it

but there is a rev limiter at around 7500rpm's...
and the previous poster was pretty accurate when they say it feels like stalling at high speeds.

 

I guess my rev limiter does not work - I can put mine way in teh red zone - scared the crap out of me when I forgot to take it out of first.

I reallly don't top out - up hill I have got to 134 - down hill bout 138.

Yeah I know - slow down.... (please don't close this thread)

 

No Gov on there that I've ever heard of that restricts a stock geared tranny on a G20.

 

Nope no governor. I think all newer cars have it though. Boo.

Them roads 'en Atlanta are mighty fun, ain't they....

If I recall Interstate 85 didn't have a speed limit....hehehe ---or--- was it the minimum speed was 90 mph. I don't remember. :lol:

yeah - even in the slow lane there are people flashing there lights at you and riding you but if you are going 70. (55 limit)

Your tach is off. The rev-limiter is controlled by the ECU - it doesn't fail. Mine kicks in at about 8200 RPM indicated (it's set to 7750).

Yeah....I was doing about 85-90 on I-75/I-85 when I was in Atlanta for Thanksgiving......and still being passed.....:monkey:

Yeah it feels like getting socked in the stomach, especially if your not expecting it. I didn't think that i was at red line and then, it felt like someone put the brakes on. when i had the gsr and a crane ignition system, that soft rev limiter totally spoils u.

 

Well i don't have a VSS hooked up to my GTiR ecu and I don't thing that the GTiR has a rev limit either.. I've hit 9,000 (oops!) indicated and I know that my tach isn't off more than 100rpm's cause of what my aftermarket one says. Is it supposed to have a rev limit or not?

is it an automatic?...because the fastest i can go is 115-120 on my automatic 93 and 99 g20t

 

Thanks for the help

Hi,

I guess that I'm going to have to find a longer road and try to get it to go faster.

Well, you can start by getting an OBX header and then some JWT S3/S4 cams, that should get you going in the right direction(the Engine FAQ has a lot more for you to look at....)
Also, I'm sure that there's a local track in your area should you ever feel the need to find out the G20's top speed.......

 

yeah - don't do the street speeding thing - find a track (tickets and killing inoccent people really makes no sense).

 

yeah, its all about the track. Drag strip and Road coarse. More fun personally. And you don't have to worry about getting in a wreck or tickets.

 

Nope no governor. I think all newer cars have it though. Boo.

Does your Legend? I know some asian manufacturers aren't big on speed limiters... We'll leave that open-ended.
