[Mk2] [Turbo] top end
Hi I have a rev 2 tubby with uprated intercooler mongoose exhaust and blitz ecu just wondering if anyone knows why my car tops out at 130 mph as I thought the ecu de-limits the cars top end???
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] top end
What do you mean by tops out? Does it hit a limiter, which is quite abrupt.
.
.or does it just run out of go?

Its quite a harsh limit but I thought the blitz ecu de limits the car?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] top end
I
think
the stock ecu limits the car to 120mph.
.
.maybe the Blitz has increased it by 10mph ![Think :-k](./images/smilies/eusa_think.gif)

Might be worth using one of the aftermarket de-limiters?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] top end
You speedometer should have been converted when it was imported.
This will also remove the 112mph JDM limit.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Remove the instrument cluster and check whether you have one soldered to the loom.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

If not, on ebay about
£20.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] top end
My speedo is out buy 10mph so do you think it has not been converted
? but that doesn't explain why it has a harsh limit at 130 mph
