Removing RS2 Speed Limiter

[Billman]

My RS2 said in the Licence papers 262 (in Germany they right in the speed the factory gives them). Also in the manual said that the Limiter can be removed by cutting the pin as mentioned above. It can also been programmed to have no speed limiter with a chip.

[Jamo]

Incorrect. Speed limiter is 270km/h

How can the speed be limited to 270 km/h when the RS2 top speed is 262.3 km/h according to the specs??

Has anyone got any official documentation on this?

[andyg plym]

i can see this turning into a piss -ing competition....again!

My 3b and ABY coupes both did 170mph (on the clock so not accurate).
I did 160 on the 3b when unchipped.
Havent had a go in the avant yet but easily got 160 a while back,still pulling.

all on a private test track:mischeif:

Defo limited to 163mph. Mihnea informed me he removed the limit when re mapping. Never did test what it did & I am back with the OEM maps at the moment.

148 ish indeicated was 143 GPS in my coupe with 225/45R17s on there. Germany is great...

[DarrenM]

Not sure if its the same on RS2 but on my e39 M5 top speed was restricted to 250KPH/155 mph BUT that was only in 6th gear, you could nudge past 155mph in 5th, change into 6th and that would take you waaaay past that, to an indicated 187mph and that was before i had it mapped. A very fast car..

If RS2 IS restricted it may only be applicable if that speed hit in 6th gear

RS2 has further potential to reduce it's top speed, through the lowering of boost if a tow bar was fitted and being used.
Or did I dream reading that somewhere?

Is the GPS more accurate than the speedo?

what is it by the way, is it the speed indicated on the trip computer average speed display with the reset button held in?

@ Jas11n: you were'nt dreaming! i have the wireing diagram for the tow bar and it says that it fools the ecu in to thinking its at high altitude. iirc it drops the power down to 230bhp

I've had 150 showing on my s2 with 144mph on the satnav and that was running 235/35/19 which i don't think was too bad.

[Rocco]

and me with my 3b, i had sometimes 260KM/h at 6500rpm... and 280km/h (180mp/h) at 7000rpm of course in the speedo,with GPS its the best mode to know how many speed we have. ALL i,ve tested in private tracks of course

what´s the max speed limit in our gearboxes??? around 320 km/h maybe?? and with the 7A cams for broke the red line??

[Skaala]

My RS2 is completely stock, and I hit a wall at 262 km/h (GPS speed) on the autobahn, It clearly wanted to drive faster but the limiter cut in, smacking the revs down and the speed to 255km/h

[BrianSmith_S2]

Maybe its something Porsche wanted on the car...

to stop the RS2's flyin past their 911's

3B 5 Speed ARV box will do 188mph (302km/h) at 7200rpm, if you could hit 7650rpm in top it would pull 200mph (320km/h)

ABY 6 Speed CGR box will do 184mph (296km/h) at 7200rpm, you would need 7850rpm to hit 200mph (320km/h)

fair enough! the RS2 documentation doesn't show a limiter only that the top speed is 262 lm/h
