How fast can a 2002 Corolla S go? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Solara King · 07-01-2002, 05:19 AM

Anyone know how to get rid of speed governor? Once I reach 185 kph it cuts out.
Anyone go faster and how did you do it. Thanks

Heh, I got a 91 rolla without a governor, did 195kph with it, with my old tires :wink:

take your governor out? i've hit it 1st, 2nd, and 3rd... but not in 4th or 5th yet.... (and that includes the 110mph in 4th.....)

Its around 170kph actually... well, no it wont scream, cuz it wont go to redline...which is strange... you'll just go ~170 and thats it... so you need to shift to 5th and then you can nail it over 200 if you have a long enough road infront of you :wink:

Yes, I could see running out of road could be a problem :grin:

Flashmn · 07-05-2002, 11:15 PM

Yeah, thats what happened to me, hehe hit the end offramp of the hiway at about 160kph :wink: Hehe

I took my 2002 rolla wagon to 180kph in 3 doing 6000 rpm.....still had another gear to go but not sure if overdrive would have pushed it any further.Pulled quite strong from 160 to 180.......got a bit scary...must have hit the perfect torque/power range.

The speed limiter for the 2002 corolla is set at 118mph....not sure what the conversion is.

on older rolla's i was told that the rev limiter holds you back and that there isn't a speed limiter, but i like my drivers lisence so ive never tried going 200km/h. Just what I've heard!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll:

toymaniac · 07-20-2002, 07:25 PM

i've been doing 200km/h with my sr5 only to find out that there is no speed limiter and no rev limiter i dont even have an ECU!!!!

2003 Corolla w/auto is speed governed at 112 mph (180 km/h). You'll notice the stock tires (Goodyear Integrity) are 'S' rated ... just happens to correspond with the max speed governor. Hmmm

But i swear i've gone faster than that in one
