Any way getting past the speed limiter on the XB? Mine will not accel past 110 mph. even though not close to the rev. limit.

 

You're driving a box with only 107 hp. That's your speed limiter right there.

 

i swear some people have the craziest ideas.

 

there is no governor on the scions.

 

A friend said no scion xb could go past 110 without alt'n the computer settings?? Is this true?

 

i get past 110 just fine so i dont think there is a limiter on there unless you tryin to go up a hill..... haha try goin down hill or something it might help you out but yea like hot box said there isnt a limiter on Scions aside from da hp haha

 

In a recent comparison test, Car and Driver states that the Scion xB has a top speed of 109mph, governor limited.

EDIT: Sorry, misquoted the article from memory. The real number, according to the magazine, is 111mph -- drag limited, not governor. See page 91 of the February issue of Car and Driver to check my source.

 

well there isn't
i've gone just over 125mph so i'd say the 109 is not true.

 

getting the car to 125 under its own power? at the very least the tc is limited, governor and rev limiter

 

almost all cars have a rev limiter.

i don't believe the tc has a governor but I may be wrong.

and yes 125 under it's own power. on a flat road.

 

I think I'll give the dealership garage a call and ask a mech. about it. I'll let you know what I find out.

 

Sorry for the misquote I posted above, folks. The article states 111mph top speed, drag limited. Theoretically, this means that if the engince could produce more power, the car could go faster, since there was room before the redline when the speed maxed out.

Out of curiosity, what power mods do you have that allowed you to hit 125mph?

 

There's no limiter, we already told you that.

 

i hit 120 then backed off... i do have to say it takes a while but it will get there

 

yea i hit 120 but i didnt really back off cuzz i was racing an civic ex at da time but it does take some time to get up there

 

it takes you guys awhile to get to 120? that sucks.

 

---that fast in a 'toaster'.Don't you care about me? I am out there too you know.

 

Just got off the phone with Service Dept. at Central Florida Toyota. They said that the Xb comes with the computer set to not let the vehicle exceed 110 mph from factory. This can be changed by someone at any aftermarker shop that has knowledge on how to access the settings. The dealership can change them, but will not alter this for you for obvious reasons. Then are allowed to set it lower though.

Its not a governer, its a computer setting and as you reach 110 mph, your cars computer will simply restrick the flow of fuel so as not to exceed the set speed. They said if you have someone who has an XB that is going 124 mph, someone has altered the settings.

 

Fuel cut, damn that sucks.
Still running the 19"s, they are over diameter, so you are going faster than the Speedo reads.

 

ok, i have hit 125 on 19"s on a flat road during mid day. i clocked it with my GPS, and according to my GPS, i was doing a true 125mph. Tires were installed at dealer before i took delivery so they did the adjustment for tire size. No speed limiter, no fuel cut... maybe this is state specific? I am in Cali. my friends bone stock box hit 120 on same road..
