You might even be able to get a tuner to sort it out through email, but you will still need the cable and software.

I think you need a 2.0 cable for EVO 6 (check that on evoscan.com) and you will need ecuflash and maybe evoscan to pull the rom.
Andy can u recommend me a proper unit for this.. if its on ebay,would be better...
thanks,..

you don't need any ecu or hardware for it. And you don't have to wire anything in.
It's a parameter in your current ecu. Just take it somewhere that can tune the car and get them to raise the limit.
You'll probably find some places will do it for free to get your repeat business when you need a tune.

No, it is not necessary to install something in your car to delete speed cut but some may prefer it to tuning. The GReddy Speed Cut Controller just gets wired in to the speed wire in your ECU. If you search it on eBay, something will come up.

What is preferable to installing that is removing it from your ECU all together. To do this you will need to purchase an Openport 2.0 cable (this is the specific cable for reflashing evo 6), ECUFlash software (FREE!). Then you just need to pull your ROM off your car, adjust speed cut and then reflash your ROM back onto your car. The advantage of doing it this way is that the 2.0 cable has other uses (I personally think all evos should come with OBD2 cables and logging software) and you don't need to have a little black box in your car.

Just to answer the other guy asking a couple pages ago...the Australia evo 7 here cuts out at exactly 112 miles per hr or just after 180 kms/hr which is what our speedo's show too,,,but as said many times here easiest is just to change to really High level after buying tactrix cable u need which for me 1.3 metre U was best and then it can be used for future aswell, otherwise there are a couple good limiter cut products on the market for around $100.

no you dont need to spend money on this matter. take it to a tuner spot and tell them to put the limiter at 250 or above. it was more like a plug and command for the ECU, simple process. nothing major.
