Yeah, for some reason I was thinking K series I have no clue why. Either way, you're going to have to shell out some $$ just to remove the governor and IMO it's not worth it if that's all you want.

RE: govenor
on an 02 accord the I4 is limited to 118 on LX, no limit on EX I4 or V6....V6 stops at about 126 due to lack of TORQUE you can get it to go faster by winding it completely out in 3rd gear before letting it into 4th and then you can get to 145mph where the car stops

RE: govenor
There is no limiter or chip availabe and no VAFC or version of the like is going to remove it.
98 LX 4cyl auto here - I've hit 125+
It's all in your heads.

BlkCurrantKord, my car clearly cuts out at exactly 4500RPM and 115MPH. Yes, there is a binary governor written to the EEPROM chip inside the ECU. In Crome, under options, there is a box to specify the speed limiter and it works.

Why do you need to go over 100mph anyway? I hope I'm nowhere near you on the road when you are driving that fast. Good luck if you hit any potholes or blow a tire at those speeds.

You read the first post, then mine, then find the relevance of your post to this thread.

Alright, alright guys, no need to flame on me I wasn't trying to offend anyone, just stating my opinion.
00AccordLX5spd, I don't need to drive over 100mph and I don't drive like a maniac. I've never been in an accident, nor had any moving violations. I didn't even need to chip my car, it's pretty much stock. It was the idea that it's possible to change how the engine operates and its electronic limits in 5 minutes that intrigued me to research it and do it.
BlkCurrantAccord, I'm not protesting what you say. You have the 6th gen, not me. Every Honda/Acura I have driven (my 1995 Accord, my grandparents 2006 Accord, my mom's 2004 MDX) have all hit their fuel cut off at specific speeds, whether they're OBDI or OBDII.
I don't want to argue here, nor am I going to keep arguing. I respect your opinions and I was just trying to share mine.
