electronic speed limitation

whats the easiest way to get rid of the electronic speed governor on my 99 alero?

cherrington17 · 07-24-2007, 11:15 PM

you have to get the upgraded PCM... i think pfyc.com sells them.

jayson_waltz · 07-24-2007, 11:15 PM

a custom tune, only way i know of. kinda sucks that the power shuts down at 107 and you coast back down to 102 before you can go again doesn't it?

Bad99Olds · 07-24-2007, 11:17 PM

actually mine hit 112 then backed off, and backed off hard. lol. it freaked me out. but i guess its for my own good. w/e its gone ASAP.

seriously why do u need to go faster than 109???? you swear like we got indy race cars n shit, but if u want it, do a custom hp tuner tune.

jayson_waltz · 07-25-2007, 01:05 PM

^why race? Just go places very quickly. My cruise is usually at 90.

if your talking kph... sure. but mph, i'm calling bullshit.

and to the rest of the people in this thread... this isn't a rooster measuring constest... so knock it off. driving 20-30-40 over the posted speed limit is juvenile. your just endangering the lives of others. If your gonna be a fool and kill yourself do it in a senisible way that won't hurt anyone else.

The only way you can get rid of your speed limited is to modify the computer. Question answered.

Go to www.pfyc.com , buy the DHP PCM for the alero if you want to get rid of the speed limiter. I tested it once, and went to 118 with no cars around on a highway. Personally I dont see a need to go that fast, but then again, I figure enough people will tell you that.

Another cool trick is just drive 130mph+ till your engine/transmission/tires explode(s). I think thats why the limiter is on there in the first place lol.

MixtapeMessiah · 07-25-2007, 03:31 PM

yeah like do something cool and drive off a cliff or something, and indeed I am calling bullshit on the going 130 mph on a stock pcm

VERY true, i didnt want to say anything cause i dont need more people getting mad at me

you said it a lot nicer than i would have

I always do 5-10 over the limit, ive never had a speeding ticket and i always get to where i wanna go on time. I dont need to be "cool" and go 100mph to get to places.

they are just askin for death and anyways our cars arent safe over 100 anyways, last and only time I did 100 in my old ho I was scared shitless cuz I was going all over the road and the vibrations were killer.

teflone · 07-25-2007, 04:29 PM

I never thought they had a govener..

I've been upto 190 kph in my car.. nothing ever happened..

When does it kick in ??

MixtapeMessiah · 07-25-2007, 04:33 PM

whats 190 kph in mph?

Wheres oldsman when u need him cuz Im curious if canadian or european aleros came with governers, I always thought it was a U.S. safety feature thingy.

Vinalero · 07-25-2007, 05:48 PM

190 km/h = 118 mph

I have a governor and it kicks in at around 172-173 km/h

Bad99Olds · 07-25-2007, 06:25 PM

yea going that fast is really really dumb, that was when i was younger and dumber. but thanks, question answeed.

jayson_waltz · 07-25-2007, 06:37 PM

Go screw yourself, if your a kitty and are too scared to go fast, that's your problem. No i don't do it to be cool, i only do it when i'm by myself. If your car is maintained right, its just and stable at thoses speeds than at low speeds. at 100, you can still drive with 1 hand and when you take your hand off the wheel it still goes perfectley straight. And if you are too effing scared to go fast or can't drive any effin good and endanger lives, don't do it. Its your choice, don't chew out other people for driving however fast they please. And its not just 'kids' that drive fast, lots of sane 'adults' that know how to control a car (unlike some of you obviously) go fast also.

Bad99Olds · 07-25-2007, 06:41 PM

sorry jayson... your absolutely right driving at 100 is perfectly safe. i appologise.
