Question aristo governed at 120mph. how do I get rid of it?

So last night I found out that my aristo motor is unfortunately governed at 120mph. Was wondering what's a good way to get rid of the governor? I am running epik's old twin k26 turbo set up and still on stock tranny. what's a better bcc to get? greddy or hks? or is there a better option such as upgraded ecu that gets rid of boost cut and fuel cut and speed governor all in one?

There are better options such as a Mine's ECU, they pop up all the time around the net, just keep your eyes open, or go buy a SLD, they're less than $100.

or if you dont use traction control then just pull the Trac fuse out.

My friend who was the previous owner and wiring expert said just cut the pink wire but it can possibly throw a code. I rather be safe, since I still need to upgrade the fuel system. guess the sld is safest way to go?

oh ok. well i own an Aristo and one way around the speed limiter is to remove the traction control fuse because its connected to the same circuit? should give it a try if you have traction control

I completely removed all the traction controll stuff on my Aristo motor, as my GS didn't have traction control. I still have the 112mph limiter too. I just haven't gotten off my *** and figured out what needs to be fixed to fix it.

I don't HAVE a trac fuse. And I don't have a trac butterfly at all, I completely removed both 8-).

my car doesn't have a fuse in that location as far as I remember. I'll have to double check, but I remember thinking I didn't have the ability to put one in.

I use a SLD. Think it's Greddy. Works like a champ.

is the sld plug and play? I know they have a hks type 2 sld and then the greddy. which one is the better out of the two? greddy's sld is sold for a better deal. also is it safe to run an sld on the stock fuel system?

My car doesn't have traction control but does have a trace fuse. So I removed the trac fuse and it didn't do the trick.

Yes it's okay to run stock fuel with a SLD or cut pink wire. I have a Toyota Cressida with a 1JZ swap running an SLD, not an Aristo, but it's pretty much the same thing.


Quick Reply: aristo governed at 120mph. how do I get rid of it?
