Default 1jz sc300 topspeed only 110mph

Hey guys I have a sc300 with a 1jz swap and the car only tops out at 110mph. I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the top speed limiter so I can go faster?? thanks anything would help

I went 5 speed and that solved my problem. You need a scd, cutting the pink wire will give you transmission codes.

? Do all SCs have a speed limiter?

I have a JZX90 ECU on my 1jz swap.

I have the same ECU, and I bought the Greddy speed cut defencer from DriftMotion

You'll need something similar.

I have a Greddy Emanage. Not sure if it's one of the options though. I've never taken my car that fast, but i think it can remove the speed limiter.

Anyone know where the pink wire is? Or what it's called? I have a 1jz ECU diagram.
