Yup, and because of that I "remembered" the discussion about the "increased" governor limit with an update, but I thought it was 263 Km/h, while effectively it is 273 Km/h. So the "mistery" wasn't a mistery at all, and there's no "two speed read", nor anything odd. The max speed is simply set to...

Hi again... so the explanation was the most obvious one, and my assumption that the EU version is limited to 263 km/h was wrong, it is in fact limited to 273km/h, and it happened with an update released back in Nov. 2019. I've found the thread where they were discussing this on the German...

I don't think he has/had any money issues. It could have been a personal project, a challenge, something you would spend your time on, look at it as a hobby. You may find it "strange", or a waste of money, but I don't criticize him. He did what he wanted for whatever reason and I really...

I'm not sure if he spent more with the transformation, rather than buying a Bullitt, but looking at the details, this is some serious job.

The GPS speed matched the expected speed, was just a coincidence, it has nothing to do with the speedometer and the speed limiter. Never checked. If it can be read with ForScan, i can do it. Is there any guide on "how"? I've only used it to read the PCM errors so far. Yes, like you would...

Not a "break feel" (like in example you feel when hitting a rpm limiter), the car was rising slowly but steady, it gave me the feel that it would have gone up more than that, but suddenly it stopped at 273 like it was me maintaining that speed with the accelerator (I was obviously floored). I...

If that's the case, it can be tested with a GT as well (EU non-EU doesn't matter). We know they are limited to 250, if so, the speedo should show more that that before the governor kicks in... if I'll found someone with a non-tuned GT that has "tested" the effective max speed.

The speed could be intentionally programmed to read higher to comply with the law to mitigate a reading low error (of effective speed) and potentially having you speeding more than you think? It's an explanation.. however it's all speculation, like the others. I think we'll have more info if...

I did not "assumed" anything, It's the speed shown on the speedometer, and it doesn't count if it's the speed in the "real world", the instrumentation is aboard of the car and the governor relies on the calculated/read speed. As I already wrote in the previous message: here we're discussing why...

Where did you read this? I never said a such thing, neither the two could match, for a matter of reasons that aren't part of this topic. We're discussing about how the speed governor works, and why it didn't kicked in at the supposed read speed (not the "real" vehicle speed). Please do not...

Argh... well I have the inspection next month, I'll ask the guy if he has anything to read the value eventually.

I have a standard odb2/ELM372 interface (it works with ForScan), their software will work with it?

Is it a common interface to find around? I don't know any specific tuner around me... it would be interesting to read my own car to figure it out. Do you know if the dealer and their "official" interface does have this capability?

Showing speed is not an issue, it's computed and will never be accurate. The question was about more how it reached that read speed, since the governor should read the speed from the same source of the speedo (it's all digital, you can't go wrong or having different values, unless there's a bug...

Maybe it's not just mine, but every EU Bullitt. I do remember that the EU one was limited to 250 km/h like the GT, but then the customers complained that it didn't match with the US version (limited to 163mph), so Ford in an update increased it. Everyone assumed that the increase was set to...

Then we just wasted ten posts with you not knowing what the hell is going on... OK. To everyone else: does anyone know if there's effectively a speed governor and how is set? I mean does anyone managed to hit it and check the speed shown on the speedometer?

So, the electronic (the governor) is reading the speed from, comes from somewhere else than the one shown on the speedo? Hence my first post question: "isn't the governor connected to the measured speed?" (that wouldn't make much sense IMO, the only speed read/shown by a vehicle is calculated by...

I know how and why the speedometer is/could read the wrong speed, but I've asked: "How do you think the electronic set in to cut the engine while reaching the set top speed? "

How do you think the electronic set in to cut the engine while reaching the set top speed? By reading the distance travelled by magic? :)

I don't care about GPS (it was just a coincidence, that it shown the real "declared" speed).. I'm more curious about the speedometer reading 273. If it's limited to 263, it should never have reached that speed. So with a recent updated they increased the top speed further.. or the governor is...
