Speed Limiter on an ED?

[EDclass]

Does anyone know anything about speed limiters on ED's? I didnt think they had them and i did a search of the forums and couldnt find anything bout it. But mine has one for sure, as i found out the other day. Private rd so no worries!

[starkersEB]

AFAIK the speed limiters came in on the EB11 and they are 180kmh or something like that . I may be wrong though.

[EF302]

must be ed cause ny old eb11 wound off the clock

[SVT8]

yeh i was wondering the same thing. i know the eb gt has a speed limiter of 180km......dont know if that helps though. Would be good if any1 does know what models have speed limiters on them.

[EDclass]

i thought they came in on the EF, it kicked in with the speedo at 185, plenty of revs left too

Pardon?

Pretty sure that non-Tickford's (or XR's in the EBI's) are limited but the GT's aren't limited. I have a few Wheels/Motor magazine's that have the ED Sprint radar gun tested at 220+ (up to 231).

im prety sure its limited to 230kmph

[opto]

I believe they are limited due to the aluminium tailshaft.

Well these are for the Sprint, though Im sure they'd be applicable to the EB GT as well.

Wheels - September 1993. 231kmh@~4750rpm (Radar Tested) Raining.
Wheels - Feburary 1994. 237kmh (Radar Tested) KB 'Less than Impressed' Felt Soft.

Sure I have a Motor magazine around here somewhere with high 230's figure.



*Edit:No applicable as to outright speed, but applicable insofar as there is no limiter.

they are most definetly limited to 230 due to the tail shaft, it may be a gt but it runs the same drivelin as the others, that being the alloy tailshaft which at those speed would be like a jump rope. id like to see that artical that says 237kmh

[NC_GHIA]

Thats why I like the EA no limeter. Not that I have ever had it off the clock! "cough" "cough" "cough" "cough"

[5L]

i think it came in ed's i know for a fact my eb series 1 didnt havnt one, not sure bout the series 2 i cant even remember if ive gotten it that fast.

[Age182]

thank god for chip torque :evil_laug

[2002auxr6]

i dont think it matters, u shouldnt be going faster then 180 anyway

[bArNsY]

Go to the outback where there are no speed limits and test it out then tell us all what happens!
Watch out for kangaroos and bunyips!

Mostly watch out for that tailshaft, like others have mentioned!

[kyro_02]

i don't think my ED has a limiter.. i've had it to 200 on private property before, the car feels a bit light so you wouldn't wanna go any faster

[eb91xr6]

mine dont have a speed limmiter as i had mine off the clock, on a privet road

as kyro said nice way to admit to it on an open forum. i guess we'll just assume you had a pitstop on "private property" like the rest :


now just one question: aren't the tailshafts only rated to 180kph???

[sd1800]

On private roads i have hit 195 on my EB11 auto fairmont. Nothing stopped me going over 180......i was rather suprised actually.

[Christiaan]

my ED has one.

I don't go above 150km/hr though (private roads) because of the 3.45LSD and EA T5 box. Car revs it's tits off at high speeds.
