The other night i wanted to see what the car would do for the first time so i opened it up AND TOPPED OUT AT 112 MPH!!!!! #### My Sentra SE-R would do 130mph what the #### is up?? lol if those Sentra's weren't so #### ugly they would be bad ass cars lmao. Anyway, i know this car has to be able to go faster than that, at least I HOPE SOO!! Not to bust on the 240 but 112 is just not fast enought for me HELP!! PLEASE?? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

there's a fuel cutoff at 114mph.  The car itself is capable of quite a bit more...probably around 135mph or so.

im not sure what the conversion is, but i've hit my governor, 90 s13, 5 or 6 times at 179 kilometers an hour,

stock 4 now

LanceS13

179 kmph / 1.609 = 111mph

the speed governor and rev limiter can be eliminated with and ecu upgrade...most would agree the JWT ecu is the best.

I dont have a calculator, someone wanna help me? My Apex multichecker was reading 223 kph, whats that in mph? My speedo was buried, thanx to the JW ecu and a little boost hehe

bing

how much does the ecu cost???

what else will i need to make it worth while..

ive been waiting for some one to ask this too for a long time!!!!!

PSI240SX

About $500 u.s.

It's a factor of 1.609. &nbsp;If you converting kph to mph, divide by 1.609. &nbsp;If it's mph to kph, multiply by 1.609.
223 kph/1.609 = 138.6 mph

$$$500 us, thats my entire student loan,

mommy, master card please.....

bing

what are the potential results for the chip on my 90' 240 coupe, mind you i'd do a bit else to accompany the ecu...

misnomer

it all depends on what you do. ECU alone won't change much. If you've done intake, exhaust, and headers, upgraded fuel pump, or other mods like that, you'll see bigger gains.

I think in my opion that you should get the G-FORCE ECU upgrade because it only $295 and they return the ecu in 2 days. &nbsp;

Thanks guys i have read JWT all over this chat so that sounds pretty good to me, but $500 is a bit much but neway, I was wondering u say that the rev limiter is removed. Do u mean completely or just jacked up cause i like revving a little higher than 6500 but i still like to know that the limiter is goin to be there somewhere to keep me from getting a little to excited lol. But neway 140 mph sounds more like it!!!!! &nbsp;THANKS.

LanceS13

If I'm not mistaken, it's completely removed. &nbsp;Besides, unless you're modified to make power above 6500 rpm, it's pointless to rev much past it.

DragonReborn214

Why the #### are you revving past 6500<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> Isn't that slightly overkill? Haha

240booster

LMAO IM USED TO DRIVING THAT SENTRA SE-R!!!!!
LOL IM USED TO REVVING PAST 7K RPM!! &nbsp;I GUESS I JUST SPOILED. NEWAY GUESS I JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT A LITTLE EASY ON THE PETAL ..... THANKS AGAIN GUYS

I don't know the specs on the Sentra's engine, but the 240sx is a stroker, it's not meant to be pushed as hard at the high end. Take advantage of your torque. Plus, as lance said, our intake systems aren't going to be pushing enough air in to see any difference reving that high. Be careful up there or you'll have very real reason for an SR20DET (and you thought the ECU was 'spensive) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I hit my governor twice on Sunday <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
#### that thing pisses me off, cant wait to get a JW, but gotta finish my mods first so I can get the right one.

Torque peak is at 4500, Horsepower peak is at 5500. The only thing you get at 7K rpms is a loss of power. So... STOP REVVING SO HIGH! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

If you want to get rid of the speed limiter cut the yellow with green wire on your ECU, It's the 8th one over on the right..... I got this info from www.240sx.org if you want to read up on it.

BlankFlip

Wow, is that safe?

Hehehe. &nbsp;My old coupe topped out at 114mph (at least on flat roads). &nbsp;I knew that before I even bought it. &nbsp;I took it up that high on the test drive. &nbsp;After that, how could I not buy it?

Don't know how fast the convertible goes. &nbsp;The old digital guage registered to 125 (on a down hill), but this one only shows up to 110. &nbsp;And, uh, 100mph feels a lot fast now than it ever did, so I havn't even buried the needle yet.

Maybe someday I'll let you know - because I know you're all curious. &nbsp;So this experiment will be completely selfless. =)

Awww, Jeff.... that's so sweet of you!!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
