The creation of this thread was brought about by the number of post looking to remove the limiter. These threads usually got pretty bad. So from now on this is the thread on the matter. I have searched and merged dozens of these threads into one. So as your reading through it this is why some post may seem out of place. All others started will be closed. If anyone has anything they feel would be a benefit to add to this thread send it to a staff member for review and addition to the thread. ~Grouch
Is there a simple way to do this or is buying a chip the only answer? I'd like to see what this puppy could hit, topping out at 110ish isn't doing anything for me. |
There is no simple way to do it yourself, as far as anyone on here knows. A chip or reprogram is the way to go.
|
:huh: I heard if you disconnect one of the throttle body cables that leads to a box, that will do it. :unsure:
I've never done it and don't intend to. I'll be buying a chip, Any suggestions? I was thinking about the one on Alero Upgrades.com |
Presently, ASE chips are the chips available for the 3400... DHP hasn't finished their tune for us.
|
got a website for ase ?
|
Check out this web page, they reprogram your PCM. I think it's better than buying a chip

Thanks, that's why it didn't work :P Did anybody try this company? Is this worth it? |
I was just curious....has anyone changed the computer chip in thier 2.4 alero so there is no speed govenor and if so, how fast will it run.
|
the ase chip will give u about 17hp and take off the governor (it's listed under 2.4L grand am)ase chips.. my friend has a 2000 altima se 2.4L and has some chip in it... it marks 140mph(like the alero) and his gets up to 131mph b4 topping out... no telling for the alero
|
ASE is it that is available for the 2.4
|
well im gonna try to put a link in here from the ga boards..i thought it was interesting, although i wouldnt do it to my car, but it is a cheap way around the speed govener...but then again...you have to have someone beside ya to tell ya how fast your goin.. http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread....&threadid=27327

oh the VSS mod.................that is a ify one for an auto. it works with a manual though.

First off you have to have a 2.4L engine for this to work.
The first thing you will want to you is to remove the screw holding down the intake box and pull it back like so.. Just another angle.. This is the connector you must unhook. In order to get to this you must either have skinny arms or a long set of plyers. It is located on top of the transmission. If you look directly down from the top of the engint it will be slightly to your left. A flashlight is recomended to find the connector easier. This pic shows where you should look... Here is a closer view of the connector. There is a piece of plastic that you have to flip up in order to remove it....you can see it here. This is what it looks like when it is disconnected Another angle. Just to let you know, once this is disconnected your engine with throw a SES light but will work just fine. Your speedo will no longer read speed but your tac will still show your RPM.... Hope every one likes this :D :D :) :) |
theres no pictures there slick
|
try again, the pics are hosted on my own webspace and should work just fine
|
Does the odometer still work when you do this?
|
your speed will display 0 so it is recomended that you either know how fast you are going according to rpm or that you have a GPS system which will read speed
|
No the odomiter dose not work with this mod....
Buddy of mine kept his warrnety for an extra 30000 k...lol :P |
