Zeldoz Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) So i looked the other week for a speedo converter. Couldn't see one, decided to shop around and buy one from here. The other day i was out in the V when an RS6 decided to play, so i happily accepted and chassed him. My clocks currently have a 110mph overlay over the old KM/PH i guess. Anyway, It went off the clocks and kept going until the needle stopped moving as the dials are too small to allow it to make a complete circle. Even when it stopped it was still pulling in 5th... I was definately going over 112mph. I wont state the obvious, but i was going excessively faster. Is there any other locations one could be? I am mapped on a EManage, but my understanding was this doesn't remove it only ultimate does? Obviously, this all happened on my uncles, mates, cousins, sisters, dogs private airfield.

Azz Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 E manage does remove it yes, a Speedo converter inst a de limiter it only changes your car from kph to mph. Quote
daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 E manage does remove it yes, a Speedo converter inst a de limiter it only changes your car from kph to mph.Sorry but both the things you said there are incorrect. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Ive got a convertor and it does de-limit. Ive hit 125 on the same airfield... Quote
kbond Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Sorry but both the things you said there are incorrect.Well I have an emanage blue and no converter and my limiters removed so it must be true. Quote
Zeldoz Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 So im now confused. I thought the converter will allow your dials to start reading in MPH. Then, with this the car will surpass 112mph or whatever the speed limiter is.. Either way. Mine will pull well off the clocks. Even before emanage i know it would surpass 112mph too. The reason im questing this is im about to buy some plasma dials. So with the MPH face on i want to be sure its reading in MPH otherwise ill be guessing speeds until i source a converter! Quote
Zeldoz Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Okay, So how can mine be de-restricted? Quote
karl. Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Is it a chance that the speed cut didn't kick in straight away. I know once I was on my own airfield it went well off the clock and cut out at about 140 or so? Edited April 4, 2014 by karl. Quote
Zeldoz Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Is it a chance that it just cut in time? I know once I was on my own airfield it went well off the clock and cut out at about 140 or so? What? Quote
karl. Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 What?Lol, basically it takes a while to kick in and doesn't cut at 112mph all the time Quote
akyakapotter Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Spedo converter just changes it to 180mph insted of 180kph lol I've hit 148mph in mine on the air field. Edited April 4, 2014 by akyakapotter Quote
DRiiFTiE Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 As said above.. The converter you change on the gear box , just changes the speeds into MPH so whatever it says on the clock you are doing in MPH, most people just put a sticker over the KMH so its back to normal 100 kmh would be 100MPH , 150kmh would be 150MPH and so on.. With the blue emanage , thats one thing im not sure on.. its all down to how it is programmed and setup Quote
daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 No, when you put a speedo converter the speed limiter is still there, but its at 180 MPH instead of 180KPH or 112 MHP. So it effectively takes the 112 MPH limiter away and puts it at 180 MPH. Quote
Zeldoz Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 I do not have one on the gearbox... So how can i exceed 112mph? Quote
daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I do not have one on the gearbox... So how can i exceed 112mph?Could there be a speed limit defender wired in somewhere hidden away ? Have you checked there isnt a converter behind the clocks instead ?Phone up TD and ask if a speed cut is a feature on your EMB, im pretty sure its not though. Quote
morgey Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 He hasn't got a convertor as his clocks go to 110mph (that's just 180kph) he said he has an overlay.If it was converted it would read 100mph with the needle at around 12 o'clock. Chances are you have a speed limit defender in place.OR as there are later versions of emanage maybe the later ones have speed cut? Quote
mikey4410 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 exactly what daniel g said...........bang on Quote
morgey Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 And regards to the stock speed limiter. They are lazy. Mine used to cut in at 118ish if I rolled upto it in 5th (speedo error) but if I was in 4th down a hill then I could get 130 ish change to 5th, a second on the gas THEN the limiter kicked in lol Quote
mikey4410 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 my first gt turbo didnt cut in till 135 mph. Quote
