my car is jap import and has been restricted (speed wise), is this normal?

 

and how can i get it de- restricted ?

 

Thanks

Yes, You need to get a UK speedo or get a converter chip to get it into MPH and to deristrict it at the the same time

 

If you're in Coventry I suggest you speak to Jeff at Zedworld for advice as to the best

 

Hope this helps

cool another thing to add to my list for when i visit jeff :D - my speedo has been converted and my speed is in mph but for some reason it will not allow me over a certain speed- ( i wont say what speed- as i will probably be asked by funky si - 'why do i need to go that fast' which will make me feel bad and not do it :D)

 

Cheers

Bet it's restricted to 120 mph !

roughly yes

if you do the mph conversion that remvoes the 110 restriction.

 

 

the ECU is still restricted to 155mph tho.

 

 

best way is to get a chip to remove it, you can also up the boost etc then aswel.

any idea where i can get the chip from and how easy is it to change or do i have to get a professional to do it??

boost increase and chip upgrade. No limit then and more power, WIN WIN

I've just removed my restrictor (i'm putting a chevy V8 in so don't need it) so if you'd like it let me know

any idea where i can get the chip from and how easy is it to change or do i have to get a professional to do it??

 

 

you need to get it soldered in. its quite small so yea usually a pro does it for you.

 

unless you are good with small solderes.

 

 

there are people on here which do chips, John dixon, and DTA motorsport do them, do a search :)

 

 

about £100 :)

ECU will restircit it! When plugging into to Console just set the max speed to 240mph :) Then you can try and reach your new Maximum :)
