two questions

[bdolan21]

is there a way to get rid of the rev limiter?

what can be done with the ecu?

Add Megasquirt, but more rpms is not going to give you any more power as that thing peaks at around 5200-5500rpm's and will start to drop power after that, not designed for high rpms.

Send speedracer a pm over on performanceprobe.com he can give you some help for a racer, I believe he is still on the forums over there.

what does a megasquirt do?

[MonoxideChild]

replaces your stock ecu. so you have full control over everything.

[bdolan21]

so after you get that you would tune it to however you want it?

[A-Pop]

correct! however this is a big project!! and will take some knowhow to do. i suggest chipping your stock ecu. i have the probinator chip from performanceprobe.com and it gets rid of your rev limiter, speed cut and allows you to boost to 17 without fuel cut out!

Be careful revvvvving past 6500 rpm!! bad things will happen eventually if you have high miles on a stock motor

[MonoxideChild]

we have no speed cut. and the chip gets ready of boost cut all together. you can push alot more then 17psi with one. lol. but a chip is only available for the GT's. if he has a gl or lx he doesnt have that option.

[bdolan21]

so there are no chip or ecu upgrade for a gl model n/a motor

[MonoxideChild]

any aftermarket stand alone can be used. so there is a ecu upgrade. but there's nothing as simple as a chip.

[bdolan21]

monox- where do you get a stand alone? what exactly is a stand alone.

[MonoxideChild]

its a full replacement of the stock ECU. which is the brain of the car. there are a ton of aftermarket ones such as the AEM ems, Simple digital systems, or even the popular megasquirt.
