Default 1jzgte-vvti cuts off

hello community, i recently have a 98 sc 300 with a 1jzgte-vvti and its stock no modifications whatsoever, but this weekend i found out something interesting , i was cruising on the high and decided to squeeze it and when i got to 120 the car backs down , there was like a puff sound so i pulled over thinking something came off or loose and nothing was out of place. i tried again and the same thing once i hit 120.00 mph it backs off . i was thinking maybe it has speedcut or fuel cut . any suggestion would be greatly appreciated , thank you very much. i bought the car like this , and the person has moved overseas , so i cannot contact him , i guess in a way i am going to start finding out things the hard way . i don't even know what type of ecu i am running .

JDM ecu will cut out at around 115 on the pre vvti 1jz's... I assume its the same on the vvti as well. You'll need a speedcut defense (cheap) or a standalone system (expensive) to remody this.

Thank you very much for your reply , i really appriciate it . i certainly will do . also i had another question in regards to the engine itself. i am looking for 500 whp on this engine its fairly new , with about 35k miles give of take according to the gentle man who i purchased it from , is this possible without openinig the engine itself, i know i am going to have to upgrade a couple of things , turbo, fuel, managemnet, manifold, drivetrain, but as far as the engine goes will it hold that amount of power.

The easy and cheapest route would be to disconnect the Speedometer

What part of Florida are you in?

Oh okay, you should come out on Friday nights to Towers with the car! Also, keep an eye on the Florida forums for local meets...
