Aurion speed limiter

Okay, sounds like a suicide mission but i gotta ask...

Does anyone know of any way to bypass/disable or otherwise remove the 215Km/h speed limiter on the Aurion.

I read a review a little while ago (in Wheels magazine i think) where they compared the Aurion to the new Falcon and the current model Commodore. They quoted the top speed of the Aurion around 240Km/h but most (or at least mine) is electronically limited to 215Km/h? So what's the deal?

A simple yes or no will do. I'm already well aware of the legality and danger of driving too fast but it's a personal choice and more over, Falcons and Commodores don't have the same restrictions as far as i'm aware. Please, no lectures. Just delete the thread if you guys don't approve of this topic. I won't winge about it.

That said, anyone with an Aurion that isn't speed limited or anyone who knows... What is the real top speed capability of the non TRD Aurion?

I would say the car would probably max out at about 250-260-ish... but probably not achievable due to less aerodynamically slippery than the TRD Aurion...

I wouldnt wanna try that in a Prodigy model, a sx6/zr6 is a better non trd model to try it on...

I have heard that the Aurion is electronically limited around 240-250km/h. v8toy's experience shows that he was able to go to around 240km/h. Personally I have gone up to 220km/h (on track of course :ph34r:) and it felt like it still had some more go in it.

As for disabling it, you would need to do it at the ECU level. For some reason I don't see that ever happening. By the way, if you ever manage to find someone who can crack the ECU, let us know. I've got a heap of things I want adjusted... starting with the 'sports mode'.

Interesting. I've got a 2007 SX6 and it wouldn't go past 215km/h or so. The revs drop off after this and i loose speed. Don't remember the exact speed i was doing when the limiter cut in but when i looked back at the dash my speed had dropped back past 210km/h. Sounds like i should take it back to the dealer if you guys are saying 230km/h plus.

Got this off the carsales.com.au website for the SX6:

Acceleration - 0-100km/h (secs) 7.4

Maximum speed (km/h) 228

Can't find where i saw the 215 limit or if i was told by the dealer. Can't find it in the owners manual either...

my old avalon in a 3.0L v6 was easily doing 180 and was still pushing.

had the road turned into a curve,then i might of hit the magical 200 mark.

the 3.5l v6 should easily hit over 228kph :D

haha cheers for findin that mate lol

i did it again bout 2 weeks ago again with the 18's and i know that my speedo is out at 110km/h by about 5km/h so with that said the speedo did say 250kmh as the speed limiter hit in so again im guessin it was more like 240km/h but i got my standard wheels on at the moment sooooooo....

I don't know a lot about the set up of the Aurions (Only owned one for the last few days) but in my experience something like this would probably be caused more by an airflow issue than a limiter.

I was more referring to the airflow to the engine (in the particular case of revs dropping off at 215kph), but yeah, that works.

Well, either way sounds like a problem with my car. I know what you mean about air flow problem but it seems pretty unlikely.

I took mine to the dealer to have the speed limiter removed. The guy behind the counter said he didn't know they were limited. Wheels magazine featured an article not long ago claiming the top speed was 249kmh... The guy in the workshop told me they took the limiter off for me.

I don't know what the deal is... I have yet to test it again.

Hehehe. If he doesn't claim to know anything about it, it's the whole, "if I didn't see it, it didn't happen :whistling: ".

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
