Speed limiter on 2004JDM question
As above,
the car has been changed into mph from new so everything is ok there but it still is restricted at aprox 118mph.
There is a small electrical box fitted behind the speedo instument cluster and it has 6 wires coming from it. Only 4 of them are conected to the wire harness.
My question is by connecting the other 2 wires, will these be the ones i need to do for it to send the siganl back to the ECU to delimit it ???
and if so can anyone tell me to what wires do i connect them to ??
Thanks in advance

I just had to do this on my spec C, there is a cable at the ecu end which needs to be cut, you then make a new connection to it from the MPH output on the convertor. This then fools the ECU into thinking its still reading KPH. Likely hood of you hitting 180 MPH is minimal to say the least
I will try to dig out the wiring instructions.

I have 05 jdm sti was having a look under the metal shield for ecu today theres a red wire leading from the back of the dash and goes to the ecu and goes to the bottom of the ecu first wire going in top row .Thats the only wire what stands out coming fom that direction. I don't know if this is any use to you

Speed Limiter
You could of course just have an Ecutek remap...
This may sound an expensive course of action but don't forget the performance benefits that come with it...The person remapping it will be able to remove the speed limiter free of charge as part of the remap and no rewiring required....
