Please do send pics because I had to install my factory bump stops with the beltech kit, I noticed machine marks on the 5" drive shaft it should be ok now though.
Removing Speed Limiter
I searched and searched and searched but could not find any answers other than the UNICHIP system. Please don't mention the unichip system in any responses, I'm trying to get intelligent info on how to remove the speed limiter without having to purchase 3rd party hardware and I'm sure a lot of other people on here would like to know the same.
Top speed is 110 mph or so, it's TRD supercharged w/SC reflash.
Are there any fuses that can be pulled to achieve this like the ABS fuse?
I don't care if I also deactivate other systems in the truck like ABS, VSC, Auto LSD... I deactivate all that when I hop into the truck anyway.
Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry is there someone talking?Why don't you pull the fuse for the air bag, curtain air bags and seat belt locks too? You guys are brave to jerry rig the safety features and risk killing our damaging you vehicle and voiding warranty over extra measly 20 mph. I would just be happy it gets to 110-120 as fast as it does and be content with the technology Toyota put in it to keep you from killing yourself or worse, others.
Faster and cheaper to just jump off a plane with no parachute and kill yourself. I think you will go faster than 120mph.
Just my $0.02 and I know I'll get hammered for this, but if you want to go FAST, get a damn sports car; Camaro, Challenger or Mustang. The fact that our trucks run 100+ off the lot is good, it is after all a truck
Ever heard of a Ford Lightning or SRT-10?Just my $0.02 and I know I'll get hammered for this, but if you want to go FAST, get a damn sports car; Camaro, Challenger or Mustang. The fact that our trucks run 100+ off the lot is good, it is after all a truck
They're not supposed to go past 113mph or 180km/h...this alone will make me not wanna do that LOL!

Make sure you level it so the updraft has a good point to take hold of the truck and flip it end on end.I'm sorry is there someone talking?
just let me know when you are bringing your truck over so i can try it!make sure you level it so the updraft has a good point to take hold of the truck and flip it end on end.
I wonder if Toyota could flash it at the dealership and remove the speed limiter somehow as part of that. It looks like pulling the ABS might be a decent option, although not having a speedometer wouldn't make it worth it. I'll test it out at some point to see what systems get deactivated. I'm also going the check with the dealership to see what they can do in terms of factory flashing.
I guess because you pay all the extra $$ for a S/C and it has no increased top end is disappointing, especially when its capable of so much more.Just my $0.02 and I know I'll get hammered for this, but if you want to go FAST, get a damn sports car; Camaro, Challenger or Mustang.

I think the gain is the front end 0-60, beating the Ford/Dodge/Chevy/Nissan off the line.
If everyone subscribed to the theory that trucks should be a utilitarian vehicle only, we'd still be stuck in the days of 200hp TBI V8 engines.
Sure, anyone can get a Challenger/Mustang/Camaro/*.muscle car and go fast. By the same token, it's because everyone and their grandmother has one of the aforementioned cars that I don't want one.
It's one thing to go fast in a car. It's an entirely different thing to go fast in a properly built truck that embarrasses the drivers of sports cars.
Besides, is there really a difference in buying a ZR1 Corvette that will run close to 200mph or having a truck that can run faster than stock? Both are excessive and both will get you killed if common sense is lacking, common sense being the key words.
Some people play golf. I like driving fast trucks.

Bad Dad, that is good to know. Guess once you get her moving and break the inertia, she really moves.
I like to drive fast too and also don't have the $'s to buy a truck for work, GTR for play and Land Rover to take the family around. I just think that when you remove things like ABS and speedometer readings in order to get additional 20 mph out of the truck, you are risking your life and others. Its the others I am more concerned about.
Sometimes we need laws to keep us from getting killed. Why else would they have a national seatbelt law. Why should I have to wear a seat belt if I am the only one in my car? Is there possibility that my body will shoot out the window and kill someone in an accident? The law is there because seat belts save lives and sometimes we need someone else to enforce that. I am all for a multi-use vehicle. That is why I got the CM. I load it, take my family in it and when I am alone, I drive fast in it on a back road with no other cars. I just think removing key safety features in order to make it go faster is stupid. You wanna go fast, add the TRD S/C. I know it costs alot but you can still drive faster and safer then if you removed some fuses from you truck.

Latest TRD flash has the lowest speed cut at 110mph.
I guess Toyota got their hands on a video of a guy doing 156mph in a SC Tundra. 110mph cutoff for the Supercharged Tundra sucks!!! 120mph would be nice for the track off course.

That's the problem, adding the SC doesn't do anything for being able to drive faster, it's just quicker to get to speed. And those "safety features" or nannies completely negate adding the supercharger in. Anyone who has the SC knows how frustrating the overall system is if you don't disable VSC and TRAC and the auto-LSD. If these are not disabled and you floor the truck, it either auto brakes the truck negating the SC extra power, or kills / limits engine power altogether. It's not very "safe" when you go to pass, and your engine power drops to nothing and you don't move anywhere leaving you stranded in the passing lane. Unfortunately, this is what actually happens with the SC with those features still enabled.I just think removing key safety features in order to make it go faster is stupid.

Not trying to be a jerk, but if the nannies surprise you, that means the wheels where spinning (losing traction) before you recognized it. The truck reacts faster than any human could, and that's what makes it so safe. Yeah, its a pain if you need to jump on the gas, and the minor wheel slip kills power, but its better than burning up your tires and not going anywhere anyway. If the wheels are slipping, it may feel faster than when the nannies are on, but I would bet that its not. They also prevent you from trying to exit an intersection quickly while turning left or right, and all of a sudden end up going back the way you came.
As far as for the track, or "spirited" driving. I totally agree a regular LSD or just nannies off is nice. That pause where the truck kills power and then waits to make sure traction is restored would ruin anyone's track times or make them lose to slammed 92 Corolla with VTEC stickers on it. Its a catch-22, but the fact that they don't make you have them on all the time without a defeat button or process means that they were thinking of the consumer who likes to play on or off road. Lots of cars now a days have one nannie setting, full on!

When the nannies kick in on a Supercharged truck it sometimes goes into limp mode and can last for a few seconds and not just a split second.
Well, this isn't exactly so, this still happens in 4wd mode where the tires are not spinning. It has something to do with VSC... why exactly it happens, I'm not sure. Also even if the tires were to spin a little bit (they usually won't if you're going 35+) it's still quite a bit quicker because it kills power for so long. The nannies are fantastic for keeping the truck safe in most situations, just not those which require immediate acceleration.Not trying to be a jerk, but if the nannies surprise you, that means the wheels where spinning (losing traction) before you recognized it.

This made me laugh because it's so accurate.EXACTLY....it takes about 1 second to realize that you just went from having your head against your headrest, to your face slamming the steering wheel, then about a second to recover from that whiplash and take your foot comletely off the gas, then another second or so for the truck to decide to let you have your balls back....3 seconds is about right.
You sir are incorrect with this statement. If I'm going 45mph and go 3/4 throttle to accelerate, I promise you I can't possibly spin my 33" tires, even with nannies off, but the nannies think I'm losing traction, so they kill power? B.S.
With nannies off, it still takes a little effort to spin my 33" 105lb wheel/tire combos from a stop. I have to flat out go WOT to get it done (which I don't do). With nannies on, I have to really ease into it, and if I get to WOT faster than the computer wants me to, it drags balls.
So, the real answer is that the nannies are a burden, and no, they are not smarter than me. (except when the roads are wet)
I'm not sure if my truck is an anomaly, or if I'm just not as in tune to my truck as I think I am, but I have never had the VSC cut power without the wheels actually slipping and the slip light blinking. Then again, I am not running a supercharger. Again, not trying to be a jerk of any kind, I know its tough to decipher tone of voice from text.Well, this isn't exactly so, this still happens in 4wd mode where the tires are not spinning.

riccnick, yeah, I think it's mostly related with the supercharger because my truck didn't do it before the supercharger was installed.
Also keep in mind VSC is somewhat separate from traction control, it doesn't have so much to do with tires spinning as it does with keeping the direction of travel on target with the appropriate yaw and lateral movement that should be registering through the computer. I think what may be happening is gyro that determines what is acceptable and is not acceptable determines that the sudden burst of acceleration from the SC is "out of bounds" for normal operation of the tundra, and initiates the VSC / limp mode which cuts power to the engine. May seem like a weird theory, but I think there is some merit to it.
