Qball Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Where can you get the speed restrictor removed? My Legacy has an annoying speed restrictor which kicks in hard at 120mph. Not a problem in the UK however there are the odd occasions when I go over to Germany and I would really like see what she is made of. Who can help with this?

Gambit Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If I remember you have to take the speedo cluster out and bridge it,but if not already done would give you the chance to change the Speedo to MPH. It was the case with older Impreza's anyway not sure if it's all done from the ECU now. I will have a look :D Ok it is all done from the ECU by the looks of it. But the cluster trick changes it to MPH and moves the limiter to 180MPH which you wouldn't be able to do anyway. I think you can buy the kits to do them on eBay. But I'm sure likelihood is you will have stuff at home that will do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Right 3 possible points from what I can make out The ECU Behind the speedo cluster Or you have to fit the converter on the wiring above the speed sensor on the gearbox :D I'm just not sure which one it is. Had a look on Fleebay only kits I could find was all to do with the classic shape Imprezas But THIS is what I was on about from HKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qball Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 OK looks good - there are quite a number of different versions, have asked HKS which would be the correct one. It looks like the Type 1 is the one for the car see http://www.rhdjapan.com/hks-sld-speed-limit-defencer-type-i.html So any idea how this is fitted? Behind the clocks? or I think you said from the Gearbox speed sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It wires onto the ECU it's almost like a chip if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Found these to give you an idea. Seems there is two ways 1. is for Cars that use a separate Sensor for the Speedometer 2. is for Cars that use a ECU output for the Speedometer.
