EAs and EBs were not speed limited. The first Falcon I drove with a speed limiter was a 1994 ED, it was my mates. The rest of us had EAs and EBs (back then) so we would leave him for dead. Cutout was roughly 181kmh.
Both the EAs I had at the time were manuals (one CFI, one MPI), but the EB that did not have a speed limiter was an Auto.
I have never tried my EF, honest, so I can't tell you whether or not it has one. I assume it does. |

My EB Ghia has no speed limiter on it, coz i have taken it over 180 before, plus it's been on the dyno and they said it hasn't got one.....or maybe mine just blew up!!!  , lol, nah, i think the EB series 1 at least and before didn't have it. |

Ben
The speed limiter, ASAIK, is in the ECU. What you found that has speed controller written on it is probably the fan speed controller. I bet your car has climate control doesn't it ?????
This is all guess work but I'd say I am pretty close to the mark. |

get a Chip and take it off (make sure you can with the chip you get 1st), then get a dyno tuner place to do it for you  |

Ummm ??? They must be speed limited through speedo!! I helped fit a T5/6 into an EDXR8 which has an electronic speedo adjuster due to different ratios..AS soon as it hit 180- 200 kph the engine cut out..
But if we adjusted the speedo to do say ?? 30 kph at 1000 rpm instead of 50 kph the cut out was higher... |
