Speed Limiter Removal
A speed limiter request concerns an existing software-imposed limit on maximum speed, also known as Vmax. Whether it can be modified and whether this suits the vehicle must be assessed for the specific configuration.
Distinguish speed limits from power
A modified speed limit does not provide extra engine power. The speed actually achievable still depends on power, gearing, road load and other vehicle conditions. Other control units may also participate in the limiting logic. A general promise based only on the brand or a previous maximum speed is therefore insufficient.
Provide complete vehicle details
Assessment requires the engine variant, transmission, control unit identification and software version. State whether engine or transmission software has already been modified and which reading tool is used. Describe the intended use and desired result specifically. Only then can the technically possible scope of work be evaluated and clearly defined.
Clarify intended use and vehicle capability
A software file does not confirm that tyres, brakes, suspension or drivetrain are suitable for different loads. These requirements need professional assessment. Whether the modification and intended use are permitted must also be clarified in advance. A speed limiter request therefore involves both the software and the complete vehicle setup.
Frequently asked questions
Will this automatically make my vehicle faster?
Not necessarily. If other technical factors limit speed, a software modification does not change those conditions. Any estimate requires vehicle-specific data.
Can speed limiter removal be requested with Stage 1 or Stage 2?
Yes, you can describe the complete scope you want in your request. Each function must still be assessed separately for compatibility and operating requirements.
