koppers Member 119 Member For: 18y 2m 9d Posted 17/01/07 06:10 AM Share Posted 17/01/07 06:10 AM (edited) Hy guys, I am just wondering if any of you have experienced a speed cut in their Bf t at 180 km/h?It feels very similar to the limp mode caused from over-revving, we're just at a loss as to why it's occuring?The car has the 6 speed auto if that's any help, and runs 265 rwkw.Thanks in advance.

I thought they all pretty much removed the limit as a part of their normal process I was told mine was removed - allthough I haven't tested it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres also a thread on modifying the pressure releif valve in the stock pump some where. Found this in my favorites old link but might explain things - Fuel pumps Edited 17/01/07 10:24 AM by Paranormal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koppers Member 119 Member For: 18y 2m 9d Posted 17/01/07 12:58 PM Author Share Posted 17/01/07 12:58 PM Thanks for the tips guys. he fuel level at the time was rather low from memory, so next time we go back to the same private test track, the run will be completed with more fuel on board.It will also be a good opportunity to test the ute max 180km/h theory.With respect to the tuner, and him missing it, we have been in touch with him oday, and h himself is at a loss to the situation. Only guessing at the fuel tank levels himself.Thanks for the advice, will come back with more news later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
