Hi All

After a hand our lemon 24 hour car is now hitting the speed limiter (first time its gone 190kmph!) at Sandown at the SAU track day on the weekend. 

Car is a 2003 250GT and has the horrid VQ25DD engine, it is running the 6 speed conversion but we are hitting the limiter down the straights now. 

 

We are planning on running the lemons at the Bend so we need it gone. 

Need to know what wires to snip! dont care about speedo working but need to keep the ABS on as we use it for mates to come and have a go at track time so we have amateurs behind the wheel.

Show me a tunner that can do this then! 

Not as simple as that it’s a vq25dd I can’t find anything on remaps or rom edits for this ecu. Can’t even find a ecu pinout......

They don’t hence why I asked does anyone know what wires to snip? Or does anyone have a 250gt vq25dd ecu pin out? 

Cant find anything online regarding vq25dd ecu pin out so any help is appreciated. And yes they are totally different across all the vq models. 

There's a guy who's cracked the vq25det m35 stagea ecu. Google ITS rom. I know he advertises on ebay, Facebook and is a member on SAU. Cant remember his user name but if you can track him down, would be worth asking him the question and seeing if there's anything he can do for you. Removing a speed limiter should be childs play for him if he can communicate with your ecu.

Hi all just an update on removing the speed limiter.

after no help and no options as speed cut defenders rely on an ecu pin out and they just don’t exist for the v35 vq25 and totally different to other vq25 models.

figured let’s start with abs as that’s how it get is speed signal off the wheel sensors. 

First I pulled the abs fuses but speedo still worked, then unplugged the abs ecu still have speedo. Then unplugged the abs motor and the speedo stopped.

pulled the loom back and found that only 5 wires it could be as 2 are power, 2 are negative and then 4 pairs of wires twisted so I assumed they where going to the wheel sensors. So I was left with 5 wires that it could be.

Started by by cutting the blue one but wasn’t it.

then cut the red/yellow and it was the one! Abs still works but speedo and speed limiter gone!

connected they up to a switch on the dash for now so I can switch it on and off, when I have more time I will work out the signal/voltage range and put in and voltage/signal hold at 180.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
