How do u go about getting rid of the 180kms cut out on an ef fairmont.......

tickford ecu

[sven]

and why would you need to get rid of it : : :

[steven95falc]

honestly dude i asked the same question when i got my ford but after a while i realised it isnt that important going over 180 it how fast you can get there.
Private roads of course

This is what happens with NO speed limiter:

There's a reason there is a limiter.

I believe it's because you get too much vibration in the driveline.

Also, why the hell do you need to get rid of it anyway?

That s*** is crazy. I had no idea gauge of steel in the tailshaft was so thin. That link is gold to show any know-its how going that fast in a passenger car is not something cool to brag about.

[XRated]

Uhhh yeah not a good idea with the factory tail-shaft.

[mcflux]

So *that* is what happens to all the coke cans...

***Ghia5L peruses VPW for tailshaft loop***

Not due to planned 180kph jaunts along the public motorway dear readers... due to 4.11s and planned future 1/4 mile attacks.

My EL XR6 had a factory limiter. it was auto and when i had the chip done they removed the limiter(manual conversion). I had the car at 200kmph and ill never do it again, the vibration was bad. Im looking for a alloy one from a XR8

I was told they did it because the standard auto gearboxes would pack it in at 190 not that we need to be doing those speeds anyway.

That dude is damn lucky it happened on a dyno people could of died

I heard that one myself, 193 for any period of time and you can say seeya gearbox. Actually I think it says that in my EF Ford service manual, i'll have to check that.

I'd recommend everyone look at the above Fordmods link, and consider what it'd do if the car was actually moving at said speeds :|

Have and noted as a really really bad idea, even thinking about getting a custom 2 piece or at least a stronger 1 piece tailshaft made up before I hit the strip.

[sven]

aren't the e-series tailshaft's only rated to 180 and thats why the limiter is there. unless you do some serious racing leave it. its there for a reason.

hmmm great to tell us this now lol , when i was on gas i got mine up to 205 lol no vibrations tho on my auto i think it was..... or could have been manual. cant remember.... wont be doing that again ... in my ford :P
