vfast Member 70 Member For: 16y 10m 19d Posted 06/09/08 06:20 AM Share Posted 06/09/08 06:20 AM (edited) Just wondering if anyone knows if the Turbo FG's are speed limited by the factory? Has anyone got 'experience' (on a private road of course ) of what the limit is?Does a tune remove / replace this limit?Thanks.

I haven't had a chance to find out in the real world though.

Actually on the sat nav it measures out at only 208.Not sure if edit will remove this limit but I WILL BE FINDING OUT IN A FEW WEEKS TIME!

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 9m 24d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 07/09/08 03:28 AM Share Posted 07/09/08 03:28 AM I've had mine up to 230.It stops dead there though.Not sure if the limiter can be removed with a tune.I had an EL XR8 that had no limit on the speed. It did have an active speed sensor open circuit fault on it though.The speedo went to 220 and I saw the needle past that on a couple of occassions.

Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 7m 24d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 07/09/08 08:58 AM Share Posted 07/09/08 08:58 AM Speed limiter can be removed with edit. How fast it goes from there, especially with a few mods and tune will see the car off the speedo.Only on the track of course. To do this on a public road is foolhardy in the extreme Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49438-fg-speed-limiting/#findComment-729583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid or sketchy.I'm not sure how confident I would be to want to go much fast than this in a stock FGT if it was able to go faster. Much faster than this would have to be the limit of the brakes, Downforce etc.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49438-fg-speed-limiting/#findComment-729585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
