Top Speed Limiter - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #24309 48 posts Started by JoKeRkId613
There is a link at the beginning of this on how to do it from evil speed. To the person that said that on an ST you cannot rev up to 6500 or 6800 I sure can and Ive hit 7500 when I missed 5th and went back to third.
the only speed limiter on my st is that stupid little nob thing that resets my mile guage so whenever my speedometer gets past the 155 it hits that thing and cant go any farther... and plus there arent anymore numbers... can i mod that somehow?

your saying you hit 155 mph before? lol well i have a 94 st manual and once i hit about 115 it was taking for ever to go any faster but then again i have bigger rims and i loked it up and its about 1-2% off so i was actuallu goin a lil faster then 115
I would pay to see a stock ST hit 150. I would pay to see a stock GT hit 150, lol, I guess i'll be keeping my money on that one.
yea that si complete B/S, you would be redlining easily by 120..even in a GT. The fastest I've ever gone is 110 on this little stretch of highway going downhill...I was around 5k RPMs...I know you can't hit 150 without seriously F*cking up your engine...if not destroy it

Speeding is only Illegal...If you Get Caught
The GT is limited to about 125 by the transmission. The only stock transmission on the USDM Celica with the right ratio capable of reaching those numbers would be the ST Auto and it is lacking the fifth gear to reach them, so mechanically you have to either have custom gears or found a 5 speed transmission that would bolt up to the 7A with at least a 3.10 ratio.
Why the heck they put a speed limiter if our cars are THIS freakin' slow.

I mean, if I get on the freeway, gas that crap like crazy... I don't think my car would ever reach the speed limit of 111 or whatever till after like 20 exits.

i was jokin, but i got past 140 once, i wasnt redlining, i was goin slightly downhill on the highway in a 94 auto st with a 7afte engine, and i believe the speed limiter has been removed, the mechanic who looked at the car before i purchased it said the engine was swapped perfectly but didnt know why he couldnt get the check engine light to turn off... but hey next time i get up that fast ill try to take a pic for ya guys, if i dont come back i crashed trying lol :-P

How high can you guys rev up your engines in the st?
so you now, i've got my stock 97 gt convert auto up to 128 in about a mile's distance, it was setting just under 5k rpm's so it must have some rev limiter
Maybe the auto, try that in the manual and you'll redline.
the st is rev limited but i'm not sure to what exactly.
the speed is governed (limited) to 110 from the factory, but different size wheels can affect that.
HKS makes a speed limiter cut for around $45, mabey cheaper on ebay.

also if you have any upgrades and want to moniter your performance, i suggest a APEXi RSM, it has a speed limiter cut built in and can measure all performance numbers. just be prepared to deal with metric numbers.

and i got me celica to 130 with intake and exhaust, it wasn't that fast but i did get it there, and yeah mods won't make you go faster because its usually the tranny that resticts speed, but some cars run out of power before gear, just not the celi.

My RX8 2JZ Swap ThreadLink to PicsStatusLow.com,Store,Facebook
Im almost postive that the rev limit on the st is 6800 or close to that.
fastest ive got is like 100-105. I dont need to go that fast cant chance another ticket >confused.gif>
I have been driving uphill in my 99 ST at 115 mph. There was no problem really coming up to that speed. Not sure how it would have been going any faster though. But I was still only using my fourth gear, and haven't reached rev limit yet either. (this is with no real mods, apart from new rims and tires. And of course removing tools and spare tire etc from the back)

I'm not sure, but I think that the Europe version is more like the JDM version than the US really, because of several things. And I think we might have a tad more than the US version under the hood.

Cali cars atleast are a bit slower than regular, aren't they?
EURO 7afe - rev 7k
USD- 5800 or 6200
California cars arnt necesarly slower we just have more emissions to deal with, but when it comes to top speed the limit is set lower i think than others. As for my redline its around 6800, but if player is saying 6200 it could be, but im pretty sure i can go higher than that. Im going racing tomarrow anyways so we shall see.
