VIL Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Guys can anyone help here. As some of you know i`ve had my sup now for years and to be honest never bothered with the cruise control as its pretty much a waste of time on todays roads. However, I am now doing more motorway driving at night and having the sup sit at `Ahem` mph would be useful. Problem I have is that you can set the cruise control below 70 mph, `but if for some reason you wanted to go above this` then it will not accelerate beyond 70! I guess there is some sort of speed limiter restricting the speed, does anyone know how you get round this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 is your car delimited? as mines is not and the limiter also limits the cruise to 70 mph and no more than that is allowed, there is a way with the thor delimit unit to get round that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Really? I've got a TRL Speedo converter that has SLD in the same box, but the last owner didn't hook up the SLD side of it. However I can set cruise to 'ahem' speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 To be totally honest I dont know now? When I bought the car I was told it was delimited but clearly this was a bit of sales speak! If you have the same issue and its the limiter that controls the top speed of the cruise control then I guess thats the problem.

SkyJawa Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 you need to feed the cruise speed input with the adjusted mph speed output from your mph conversion. I did this on mine and it raises the level to around 110mph IIRC. You do however lose the slow speed cruise, only starts to work around 45mph...... see here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=11059 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks SkyJawa, thats what i`m looking for. I`m not massively up on the technical stuff, is it easy to do? Do you know of a post anywhere that helps you go through the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yep, as stated, the cruise control is set at factory to operate between 40kph and 110kph. Even when delimited and converted to mph, unless you feed the cruise unit the converted mph signal that goes has been routed to the speedo and ECU, the cruise unit will still be reading a non-converted kph signal. Feed it the right signal and you're sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks SkyJawa, thats what i`m looking for. I`m not massively up on the technical stuff, is it easy to do? Do you know of a post anywhere that helps you go through the process? It was a bit of a pain as I had to remove the dash and stereo, and theres not a huge amount of room in there, but nothing too difficult to be honest!
