Tip#8 - 105Mph Speed Limit Removal

So you want to disable your speed limit (AKA Governor)? Pictures coming up soon. Here ya go guys!! Remove your dual cup-holders and locate the wiring harness beneath them. Cut the black plastic piece surrounding the wires. Carefully find the white wire with the BLACK stripe. 'mere is a white wire with a green stripe... make sure that's not it Cut the white wire with the BLACK stripe. All done!

I added a toggle switch to my governor. For about 3 dollars, you can go to radio shack and buy a small switch. Connect one side of the governor wire to the center terminal, and one to whichever side you want. Drill a small hole in your center console, and mount the switch, I also had to buy a small reel of hook-up wire to lengthen the governor wire.

Your car should have a check engine light pop up after a couple days This is normal, don't worry The switch I use makes it so that my light doesn't come on for the governor. www.ZX2.com or its creators WILL NOT be held responsible for any damage or financial compensations caused in whole or in part by the information held on this page.

And I don't Hold any liability to this mod.. but I've tried it, and it works pretty damn good!

haha see i said they could go faster then 105 without any aftermarket mods...whos bullsh*tting now??

i got my car up 124 in 4th and then 136 in 5th but had to slow cause of traffic but it was still going.

But the ZX2 weighs several hundred pounds less than the Contour.. Getting my car from 100 to 110 takes quite a long time. Only way the Contour is hitting 130 is on a steep straigh downhill that lasts for several miles.

my 99 se is the same way....105 then zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....it will go no faster

Don't be too quick to sneer at 130 mph from a standard Zetec.

My Mondeo 2.0 has the same engine and I've had 125 out of it (confirmed on GPS). No mods. Straight and level (M45 for those who know it).

Monkeyra has had similar speeds out of his 1.8, and I believe that was *before* he removed his cat

Quit whinin! The dew truck hits 66 and ZZZ!

just had to post somwhere to check out the new forum setup.. and yes mine dies at 105 w/ a 2.0L zetec 96

What wire is this. would I beable to do it to my 96 mystique?

Weaving in and out of traffic at 130mph? I driven my SVT to 135 (indicated) once and 120 a few times so far. I don't recommend doing it in traffic. I just bought a handheld GPS for other purposes, but have used it in my other two vehicles so far to verifiy speedo error. Looking forward to finding out how fast I really went.

I've got a car that's lighter than the Contour and about the same power (135Hp). No way it's going 130 and it has shorter gears. You must have small tires and hit 120 actual tops.
