Default IS-F top speed

Check out this video, very nice! How did they remove the speed limiter? They hit 186+ mph (300 kph) in 7th, so somehow they bypassed the speed limiter that should have been reached in 6th.

Enjoy:

Features

Mounting

● ECU in the engine room harness, connect the harness coupler ON, VAC Type ISF ON coupler body to the connection.

● VAC Type ISF body to secure the passenger's feet.


Other

● Acrylic windows VAC body "ISF" logo, the Power LED is inside the body when illuminated by a light thing.
"ISF" If the logo does not appear, the power ground wire could be bad.
Also, immediately after power-up, this "ISF" logo is flashing at a constant frequency, and then lit. This is no such error code.


There has been NO confirmation if this product will work on a US Spec IS-F...

Time for one of you guys to research this some more..

HKS is too expensive for just a speed delimiter function...

I'm guessing an up and coming Middle East country like Dubai or something. Only in places like that can you find such suicidal drivers.

Hmm interesting. We can get most HKS items, if that would indeed work for the US spec ECU's.

Default Rev Limiter

I noticed that my F really started slacking off around 160mph (sport mode in M). I decided to hit the brakes at 163. I was concerned that I wasn't able to hit 170 like I thought I would. I did have the AC on though. Does the AC really pull down the F at top speed like that? Maybe the limiter is more like 163 rather than 170 exactly? I don't know. What do you guys think?

We have topped the IS-F off at 170mph on the Dyno......... many times....

Anything more and it must have had the speed limiter by-pass.

I disagree with this statement. I thought that it actually felt like there was a lot left in that 163-165 mph range. I didn't think getting to the 170 mph limit was going to be much longer and wondered how much was actually left....but unfortunately I ran out of safe road to find out.

Your right. The car starts picking up at 160 really hard. Its starting to get hard to stop hitting my speed limiter on N20. Ill post a vid when i get home of my 70-170 so you guys can see that i mean. I really wish the car was unlimited so i could run for 15seconcs on N20
