GOVERNOR - 2/25/2006 10:44:46 PM    accord2k   Posts: 110 Joined: 2/9/2006 Status: offline Ok I have a 00' accord V6 coupe, now I was woundering when does the governor kick in? My friend has a 96 accord 4 banger, he said thats his kicks in at 130. also what will it affect if I get it taken off? Will it be hard to find a shop to take it off? And finally, as my car get more horse power will it keep kickin' in at 130 or where ever it is? Post #: 1

RE: GOVERNOR - 2/26/2006 9:58:40 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline AH, thats why both car repair books I have say it has a governor in it. ^_- For LX's lol But stock accord auto's are hard pressed to make it past 120 unless its going on some form of a downward grade. I really need to replace my transmission. Stupid wide gear ratios..... (in reply to F23AccordLX) Post #: 10

Wasn't uphill either, but hey. I had a friend of mine tell me it was 130 on the Accords, and like 110 on the Civic. Both have turned out to be wrong (did 120 in the Civic) Shows how much he knows.

RE: GOVERNOR - 2/27/2006 4:49:42 PM    sir_nasty Posts: 6309 Joined: 2/23/2006 Status: offline Ahh... governors.... so on a roadtrip to Colorado with my friends I had my old 1994 civic dx, they had a 2002 Ford Focus and a 1997 Honda Accord 4 door (dx, lx, ex?? no idea) During that trip we hauled hiney on some long straight streches.... the focus has a short ram intake, and mod chip for engine changes, the civic and accord were stock... at about 120 my civic held there, the accord got to like 125-130 and pulled away slowly, the mod chip on the focus took away his governor and he just kept going.... but from all the research I've done the easiest way to get rid of a governor is to just get a mod chip (around $250.00...) but be aware that if you aren't already running the expensive higher octane fuels you'll probably have to switch to it...
