Just a heads up that the IS-F's engine speed limiter cuts out right at 170 MPH... AMHIK

i know it wouldn't do that on the street (cough cough salt flats) but it looks like it isnt governed to me.....i think she might do a 180 in the right circumstances, and some spray

Its weird that you were able to do this. In my case, my car always hits the limiter at 172mph. Even during dyno runs, I have never been able to surpass it. Have you added anything that could possibly delimit the car?

Steve: FYI.. The speedo on the car more than likely topped out at the 170 MPH range..

IF the speedo on the car was showing 197 as well, then you know for sure that your 20x10 wheels & 285/20 tire size are jacking up your MPH read out...

... But in reality your motor didn't go past the 170 MPH limiter.

FACT: This is hard coded into every IS-F ECU..

The speedo on my F showed 179MPH in 6th on my dyno run n/a. Stock wheels. I was just as surprised.

Steve my man, your setup has to be one of the cleanest and one of the reasons why i am looking into getting a juice bottle now! Beautiful car and setup. What kit did you go with buddy? If you could shoot me a pm with as much info on your setup as you can that would be helpful. Mine is at the lexus shop getting the engine dropped, going with sikky headers, injen intake, custom full true dual true x pipe straight exhaust, the 100-125 juice, arkym kit, bc forged deep concave, a minor drop at the front and a lil bit more bling. Decided to treat my girl good since she hit 50k miles and is going on birthday 3. Love this car. Again congrats on your setup, well done, and maybe you can shoot me a pm for a system quote aswell, nothing too crazy, 1 12inch sub jl audio and a small amp to push it all.
