whats the governors in cars?

 

Are you asking what the governor is? If so a governor is basically a limit that is placed on your car to keep it from reaching its max speed. For example I had a 98 zx2 escort. My speedo read 120 mph as its top speed. So one day I decided to see if I could reach that 120. Well my car topped out at 110 mph. The governor would not allow me to go past that. Thats all the governor does. I hope thats what you wanted to know. The governor can be disabled.

 

There is a speed and rpm limiter also, but he pretty much got ya covered .

 

yeah thanks for the info.. how do you get it disaBLED?

 

I think you need a programmer to disable it. I don't know any other way to diasable it.

 

On newer cars with computers you can retune the computer to turn off/raise the rpm and speed limiters.

 

Yeah i turned off my speed limiter and extended my rev limit
now

 

Hell I am surprised the car didnt blow up!

 

I know people turn off the speed limiter all the time, but I never understood why people extend the rev limiter unless they have mods that allow you to continue making power. Look at dyno sheets and you'll see at the end of the curve the power drops straight down.

 

it'd be better to drop the rev limiter. Raising it on most 2v cars is plum silly.
