MY 2007 I4 malibu seems to have the govenor and the motor wont rev past 4K (in park or just tryin to do a launch) and i wanna know if it can be removed/disabled or how to get around it

 

its a rev limiter to keep people like you from toasting the engines.....the govoner will kick in at 175kmph...about 110mph.....why do you want to rev it this high on anyhow? Thinking of racing your 4 banger

 

no i was just tryin to do donuts in the parking lot cuz it was snowing.....even with snow and no traction i couldnt get it to spin....****ing lame. i would never try to drive a 4cyl thinknig its a nascar. a cars motor should have the same displacement as a bottle of coke.

although ty for telling me its max speed, i cant see an I4 taking a 3K lb car to 175kmph but hey, i believe in miracles

 

donuts????....its FWD, try a.... what did we call them rockferds......reverse donutes....

 

steal 2 trays from mcdonalds drive over them with your back wheels then put on the parking break and enjoy! http://youtube.com/watch?v=llQfVfK-OUI of course this is a v6 in the video, but it wont matter.

 

Or you could just drive then use your e-brake to spin the car around. having a foot e-brake is always harder though. you don't have to steal anything doing it this way. The tires will slide on their own when the e brake is onand you are on snow or ice.

also, a 4K governer seems low

 

my dodge caravan had the ***** to do donuts.....its a fwd too.....also more ***** then the motor the malibu has with maybe 10hp more then the malibu but alot more lb/ft
