ok, my gf has an auto cobalt that tops out at 105. how do i get that removed? and how much would it run

p.s. im putting lower profile and better rims on it before i even think about it so

MISSMATCHEDFACES

ud need to have someone remove the "governer" from the pcm....but 2.2 pcms cant be tuned right now.......except for that clear image place

i used to have a 2.2 i got it over 105 no problem

^^^You must have had the sport package then.


The dealer could get rid of the governor. Finding one that would do that though...

VibrantCOBALT

hmm.. wonder who would or if anyone knows how.

Projekt

why does ur g/f need to go past 105? lol

VibrantCOBALT

don't ask..

cause i dont`

avenger09123

dude thats hilarious, but still, i'd ask, i don' t wanna drop $350+ bucks for rims and another $300+ for Z rated tires for my gf or wife (haha to that statement) unless I know why....

But yeah man we're waiting for our stuff to get tuned.....Governer is what controls that, but hitting 105 is pushing your tires close to the 112MPH stock speed limitation...and you don't wanna know what happens if they blow...flap flap flap screech scraaaanch flip crinkle crinkle.....and death too of course.....

KillerBee

yeah remove the government and it will go really fast

Um... 90% of dealers wont remove it because they cant, to remove it you have to have a special code for the GMTechII scanner. To get the code you have to call GM and they usually wont give it to you.

haha yeah guys removing integral PCM programing isn't exactly as easy as hooking up a tool and pressing the "Removing Computer Controlled Governor" button.

it's only going to go another 10 or 15 mph anyways, and very, very slowly. i had my 2.2 up to about 120 or so, and damn did that take forever

avenger09123

more accurately put, you just push the limit back....you can never really "erase" the governer out of our PCMs

YellowLT

Only way is to get a dealer to put the Sport package flash on. I have it. Not gonna say who did it though

sick06cobalt

but heres the 100 million dollar question... WHY?? theres no reason for it when you only trap mid 80s to mid 90s (on the fastest 2.2

PlaysWitCars

I dont know **** about cobalts so Im not help

Jackalope

Its only good to 105 cause thats all the faster the car can SAFLY handle! The suspension, brakes, and tires are NOT rated for more and to try to push it faster witout building up said areas of the car is crazy and irresponcible as your only asking to get hurt, dead or hurt or kill others.

1st, why do you need to go past 105
2nd, if it's because you want to be able to have get-up and go on the highway... it's a 2.2, taking the governor off won't change the fact that you don't have the power to get much past that anyway
3rd, going with 1 & 2, what's the point? It's a 2.2, it takes you forever to get to 100, what do you want to get it up to? It'd take a forever long OPEN road and that's not saying you'd have the power to get it much past that anyway.

Last, after 2 & 3 i realized you should take something else into consideration and ask you if when you hit the governor it should have jerked the car a little and you should have felt power loss. If you didn't then you didn't hit the governor and you just proved why you don't need it off anyway, because you just don't have the power to go past that, it's not the governor, your speedo just stopped climbing.

EDIT: Just read Jackalopes.... that's another good point. You shouldn't do it anyway because the car won't do well above that. You have skinny tires that are rated at a lower speed and not as good a suspension as you should have, it could be bad for your health.

VibrantCOBALT

tbh. i don't want it to go like 140.. just like 120ish..

my 2.2 doesn't take forever to get to 100. i race a jetta last night but limiter kicked in at 110 :X

Blackout06LS

Connect a toggle switch to the speed sensor wire. Turn it off no governor. But you lose your speedo.

I was going to do it, but decided not to.

VibrantCOBALT

lol. wtf. how do u know how fast ur going haha

First off if its an auto, its not fast enough to worry about having a limiter removed

Raven SS

coming from the same person who said "put a s/c on that thing" to a 03 cobra

VibrantCOBALT

not ness. i have a garett turbo sitting in my basement, but havn't taken the time to install yet bc.

#1) need better rated tires/rims/suspension
#2) governor
#3) might sell the car..

Jackalope

Not to mention messing with the speedo IS a FEDERAL OFFENCE! So thats a great idea! :

SSRedSC

I you wanna go really fast, youve got to be able to stop and turn first...
