A question about speed limiter.........for 2nd gen eclipse/talon

[ADrewzki]

So check this out! I took out my ECU because for some reason I have a "rare" AWD car that has a speed limiter. I looked at resistors 255 and 256 and both have resistors in them just like they should. However, the color bands on them are Brown-Black-Orange-Gold which means they are 1K resistors and not the 10K that the vfaq says they should be. Can anyone else attest to this? Is the vfaq wrong or do I just have weird resistors in mine? They look completely stock and the soldering job is immaculate.

Brown band=1
Black band =0
Orange band= multiply by 1k
so 10 x 1k = 10K

hah you guys are crazy , i couldn't see myself going over 140+ in my talon. I think i went 110 the fastest and i didnt feel save going that fast ....in a car. I feel safer on my streetbike , i hit 145 no problem. But also explained in thread i never heard of AWD have the limiter

Done 130 easy in my 98 AWD. It showed no signs of holding back... hafta get back to ya on any higher speeds Personally too fast scares me

I've done 150+ ONCE in my DSM. I won't do it again until I can figure a way to smooth air flow underneath the car. Thinking of using fiberglass panels to smooth out the bottom of the car.

I wish I had a Ferrari, I wouldn't have to be doing this crap.

ok im confused now. Witch resistor do I cut off??? or do I cut off both completely off the board? I have a 1996 TSI FWD i have the ecu out of the car right now i can supply pics if needed. I dont want to have to solider anything tho.

Considering this forum is 5 years old, I'd start a new one, but at least you're keeping the forums clean.
