Does anyone know how to take the governor out of a 1990 Corolla? Any help or hints would be appreciated!!!

My 1990 SR5 doesn't come with a governor?

didnt know they had one. got my 90 gts to 195+kph, would have got passed 200kph but got into traffic

well, if it does have it, just cut the spd wire to the ecu, it is coming from the combination meter. I am not sure if this is a good idea. But on the 4E-FTE that is what people do to eliminate the 180km/h limit. mine doesn't have the SPD connected, but because my combination meter lacks the spd output, but i went to buy a comb. meter that has the electronic unit (to convert the mechanical cable's revs into a digital speed signal of 4 pulses per rpm), but not sure if this will only put on a speed limit.

Would cutting the spd wire work on the 7afe AE102?

That will probably work but it will disable your spedometer

damn....

I guess I won't be able to do it. I need the speedo.

thanks all

try and find the speed sensor wire that goes into the harness to the ecu....just remove it. i did that in my EF.

anyways my '90 rolla didnt have a speed limiter either...i find it odd that u have one...are u sure?

i went over 200 on several occasions (trying to follow the driving of mad man redrum

)

no it won't...... the speedometer in earlier corolla's is run off a spinning cable that's linked directly to the tranny.... trust me, mine broke once & i had no speedometer for about 200 miles

as far as i know, all ae92's don't have speedlimters..... they do have rev limiters though

Have you thought that maybe the car is the one that just can't go faster???

I know my car doesn't have one, I've taken mine to 205km/h.

it hits 113ish, and won't go faster, but I know it isn't the rev limiter, because I'm only at about 4000 rpm in 5th (5600 rpm in 4th)
