SaberZ Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 a 2nd Gen W-body(my impala). I find it hard that nobody online has come up with a way to defeat the limiter. Anyone have suggestions or locations where it could possibly be, and what Possible effects it will have *besides warranty thanks in advance guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPRACER Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 3800?? if so it's fairly simple if you know a technician at a dealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I think it's computer based and therefore pulling anything wouldn't hlpe the situtation. You could get an 'over-ride' system or module plug in that bolts / snaps in to intercept the signal... try these places: http://www.zzperformance.com/ http://www.thrashercharged.com/ Even though they're GP parts, it fits all 3800 Series II motors. I'm willing to bet there will be more people who know more sites / information, but for my parents Monte Carlo, these two have been good resourses for information and inspiration. Best of luck! - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yeah its computer limited. I Like GPRACER's answer, thats what I would do! Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burning Rom Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 How do you get rid of the limiter system on an older W-body like a 90 TGP? I'm just curious, as they don't have the same type of PCM module as the newer W-Bodies have. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 yeah they got a ECM, but you will still need a chip for that. Thats controlled in the MEMCAL, if Im not mistaken. Just get a performance chip. Some guys on this forum make some good chips for TGPs. Or, http://www.fastfwdperformance.com makes chips that allow you to set your own speed limiter and rev limiter.'

DHP makes one for the GP's not sure if it works on the impala. RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZ I'm not sure if DHP makes one for the Impala that you can order and swap, but but I know they can custom tune the stock one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPRACER Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 One of the best ways, and a great performance upgrade is to reflash your pcm with software from a police package equiped w-body. all you need is a serial # from a police cruiser. I have done this for a couple of guys, You get a higher top speed and improved trans shift points. If you have a # and know a GM tech you are laughing. I want to know how to do it on my '95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how to do it on my '95 That's a cheaper alternative to going with a DHP PCM, but the DHPs are by far supreme Another way to go is to just flash your PCM if you've had your car for more than 2 years. It will unlearn what it has learned about driving habbits..and will be stock again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
