On the dyno of course. Doing it elsewhere would be dangerous. Or something. |
Well then that would have started with the EB II EEC IV intergrated drive train controller because in the EA II & EB they had a seperate controller for the transmission. |

| mine cuts out at 190 but then again the ecu thinks it ment to have 3:27 not 3:08 like it does have. XR's and ex cop cars are limited to 210 on XR6's, XR8's are limited to 240 on EB-AU's everything else should be limited to 180 unless of course diff change or inacurate speedo. |

I hear that the manuals wherther XR or not are not limited. Can anyone actually confirm this or is it not true? I dont wanna take my car too fast as a result of the tailshaft being of the snappable variety....
And its illegal.....  |

Some were, some were not. It seems strange, some XR6's (and XR8's) seem to have no limiter, others had 240 and others (like mine) were 210kph.
In the end it doesnt matter, 210 is more than enough in most cases and, if it isnt, get a Chiptorque chip and remove it entirely (like me  ) |

I'm not certain, however, I believe the utes where limited due to having a longer tail shaft.

Yep, all the utes were 180kph limited as they had a VERY long tailshaft. |

My XR8 ute is limited to 180 and the only other XR I've driven that doesn't have any speed limiter is my dads ex-cop XR8 (well i think it doesn't only took it to 210) my brother AUXR6 limited at 205.
It's strange not all XR's limit the same tyre size and diff swap could also come into it but my brothers and dads are stock. yet I've dyno'd an EL XR6 which limited at 195 and a EF which didn't apper to limit at all. |
