V6 restrictor
My car is an ex police car, and my mate who is a mechanic told me that my engine has a restrictor on it which stops it from reaching it full potential speed wise.
What do i have to do to take this off my car?
what speeds are you planning on reaching
1995 Manual HSV Clubsport
Wade Cam :: 9.2:1 CR :: Pacemaker headers :: Twin 2.5" Exhaust :: VT Brakes
1991 Supercharged VN Berlina
9 PSI SC14 Intercooled :: Genie headers :: Twin cats :: HM Twin 2.25 exhaust :: 3.45:1 LSD
Your freedom ends where mine begins
+1 on the above question...lol...
The restrictor kicks in like... past 220... and its not just ex-police... all cars have them... for example we discovered my mates VY maloo had some somewhere around 265kmph.

restricted to 265kph lol, too funny. The ve is restricted to 243kph. Im not sure the VT was restricted
a retune of the memcal will disbale it if the vt came out with a speed limiter?? i know jap cars of that era were speed limited to 180 km/h but not sure on the earlier model commodores....

The OP has a series 2VT which means it was flash programable, no memcal to be found
you know what i mean, change the tune so the speed limiter is disbaled

I think you should concentrate on how to get it accelerating quicker instead of going salt lake racing with it.

I thought the restrictors were the signs on the side of the road, you know, the ones with a number and big red circle around them......they are called speed limits.

vt are speed limited to 216 kph
it only goes to 220 so ya not far off the mark
if ya cant beat them at 216 i doubt you'll need to get to 220+
yes ya can have it taken off with a remap of your computer but not Worth it
well i cant get it to go past 180kms...

lol to get there faster !why are u going 180
but then again thats over the speed limit and u only do that on a race track
yay for track daysor driver training days cause then insurance still pays
Is it rev limiting or just out of push?

gets to about 4000 revs in top gear and sort of just sits there

you'll know when speed limiter kicks in it sounds a bit like rev limiter and bounces if you are just running out of puff its not your limiter its something else like throttle not opening all the way or stretched cable
Well, for one, I can't believe you're talking about 'only' doing 180km/h (presumably on a public road) on a public forum.
Secondly, if you were at a track day doing that speed, you should be embarassed.
Take the car back to nanna, she needs to go to bingo.

mines run 206km/h (not on a public road) good thing i have a farm and an uncle who can lay road tar lol ive got mine to 206 and it could of kept going but i was running out of road. use the VT as ur road car and race another one :P
