V6 restrictor

[Happy_meal_11]

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?

 

[stocky]

what speeds are you planning on reaching

+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

 

[Eliminator]

you know what i mean, change the tune so the speed limiter is disbaled

 

[VT-565]

what speeds are you planning on reaching

mach 1.



or enough to melt most automotive paintwork. lol

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.

 

[imnothereanymore]

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
