I was racing with this civic on the highwaya dn I hit about 115 or ****. I wanted to know how I can remove that speed limiter.

[Guest_Jason_*]

Celica's are naturally poop for high-speeds. I bet if you did get rid of the governor, you still wouldn't push more than 125...

[94celicaguy]

i know for a fact that the celica st cuts the fuel off at 135. try it on ice. pull up the e-brake and let her go through 5th.

[Mr7AFE]

i still had my stock gov and did more than 115.. how much
weight you pushin and what are your mods?

it doesnt matter cuz you loose the stock internals at 137...
thats when i lost rod number 4 on the way to import xpression.
Racing a mr2, tibouron with nos,and a mitsu lancer. i have it on tape.


whats funny is that i still showed with a shot motor.

[t96f]

I didn't even know we had a limitier,, mine tops out at 200km/h or about 125ish.. But I'm at redline in 5th when get there.. SO are you tellin me there a is a way to get MORE out of the old girl?? If so how?? I'm all over that idea...

[slowceli]

my st cuts out at 115mph. it sucks

[Jeremy1210]

I have a 94 St. I hit 120 with it, so maybe its just your car???

[ghostdog]

I'm thinking the 96-98 STs had a fuel cut off at 115 mph, while the 94-95s are mechanically limited at 125 mph. I don't have any real info, I'm just guessing really...

[t96f]

Well thats my biggest problem with the car,, due to the gearing, no mater how much power I can produce I can only go 200km.. I would obviously like to go faster,,,

[Milds3vn]

Yea it must be my year since its '97 that it cuts off at 115mph, but i didn't know if a new chip would help. Also i just got my Greddy SP catback exhaust and the damn thing doesn't have a spot for the O2 sensor so I gotta wait till next week to get a lil plug to weld onto a awhole i cut in the exhaust! I take pics when I install it. Luckily my dad's business has a pit i can drive my car over to work underneath the car. The tip on the exhaust is a pretty nice size prolly like 3 inches or so, ill post the pics of it with my dirty ass car.

You want him to go at 115 mph, and then pull the ebrake on ice?

[94TRDCeli]

no if you pll the ebrake and drive your car will think its going therefore the speedometer will go up but you wont move all that much at least i think thats what hes saying

[Azncelica]

I have a 94' GT w/ mid mod....and I top my out @ about 125 mph....
@ redline.....

[BlackandTAN]

my 99' Celica GT tops out at like 122mph

[zigy]

My "stock" celica used to top out at 116mph,

but once I had accident and they had to

get some OEM ECU then it would go 121, and

trust me the car was like dieing trying to

get up there...


(heheheh now it goes up to 146mph)

load it up yoh want to see it

[SpedToe169]

I'm starting to believe that different years of ST had different limiters or perhaps none. The reason for having the limiter was that the stock tires were not speed rated high enough. Perhaps cars that were ordered with factory alloys got different tires and no speed limiter???

My limiter kicks in at a GPS verified 111.1mph. I'm pretty sure I'll have a cheap way to defeat it by the middle of the summer.

[Mynzeyes]

mine's around 115-117, but um...i go about 85 on the interstate...so i don't care. i like the twisties. w00t.

Going downhill doesn't count!

... and a 6th Gen GT vs 7th Gen GT-S?

Unless his wheels fall off, he'll hand it to you. Even if he's a bad driver, those things can move.

as jason said, he'd own you, and 140 is BS unless you were goin down about a 30 degree descent.

Dude you against 2000 Celica GTS have no chance,

my car is pretty quick since I got bunch of mods,

(intake, headers, exhaust, 65 shot NOS, fuel pump, bla bla bla...)

and the car run 15.2 (QuarterMile), WELL ITS TOO SLOW because I raced my

buddy with 2001 GTS "STOCK" and he beat me by 2 car lenghts

in quarter mile....

[jumpinccv]

Highest I've had mine was 111 in a gt..however I had to slow down because of a stop sign..I was still going up...we shall see what I can get to.
I would say try the gts..He'll most likely beat cha but hey we're all celi owners. Might as well try.

You guys must be revving the shi.t out of your engines! I have been too scared to push it that hard yet, my car started shaking at about 5200 rpm and I backed off at 185kmh or about 115mph.

[evolve]

Ive got 120mph on the motorway in my 94 GT. Im sure it could do more but didnt want to push it too much as the import limiter would have kicked in, but looking at the revs think i could do possibly 130 or more.

All i got is a S/S exhaust and Blitz intake

[boosted_K2]

i cant, rev limiter and fuel cutoff wont let you up that high... unless you are going down a 30 degree hill. 140 KMH, but not MPH.

[evocelica]

140 is not going to happen, I ran out of gear at 130 with hitting the rev limiter in 5th. I didn't even have enough power to reach 130 I had to be on a slight decline. On a flat road I can easily run it out to 120 and it struggles from there on.

[bojangles_8686]

Dude I swear that I went 140 mph why would I be BSing damn.

[FallenHero]

I hate to say this. It might have said 140, but you weren't going 140.

[bojangles_8686]

Well then if thats the case I need my speedometer fixed but I know what I saw on it.

[bonzaisushi]

ive hit 133, so i think 140 is feasable

[hi_rider]

Last year, in a 1990 gt-s, my friend (i was sitting beside him) drove at least 100 km in 30 min., that means 125 mph, so no matter the speedo, we drove that speed. The speedo actually showed 190 km/h..well 119 mph.
People around here says a 94 celica is pretty fast on top speed, faster than my ex-vr6 i took to 147 mph....I'll have my car in a few weeks and I,ll check this out, cause it's hard to beleive so.....
A friend of mine said he got past by a 6th gen celica while he was rolling 140 mph in a saab. True or not ???

[97sccelica]

my fuel cut cam in when the speedo read 115. the rpm was at ~4200 and it was still goin when the cut came on.

btw i have an auto st with just an intake. at that time i had about 300lbs of extra crap in my car(50lbs in 2 backpacks and a 250lb friend not including 200 for me)

when i am alone in the car, it is much faster on top end. i hit 100 before i even notice it and and the last 15mph doesnt take too much longer to get.

oh and for the past week the sheriffs department in my city parked one of those radar trailer things on my street and from passing it many times a day, i can tell you my speedo is 100% acurate

[batibot]

i'm actually a noob here cuz my eg6 got stolen but when my wife was tellin me that when she bought the car in 94 she got it up to 140.....so I guess It is feasable cuz my wife don't lie.. it's a 94 gt

[FallenHero]

Well, I said that because an X of mine had a Paseo that would say 140 down the hill to her house. But I didn't believe a super econo car would do it. BUT, hey, it says it so brag to hell. I'm not about to try it on my tires to see though
