Speed Limiter Removals
Unlock your vehicle’s full potential with Intelli Tune’s speed limit removal service in Bristol. Whether you need to remove factory speed restrictions for work or personal use, we deliver a safe and effective solution tailored to your needs. Our experienced team ensures the process is smooth and reliable, giving you the freedom to get the most out of your vehicle.

Important Note: Speed limiters are often in place to comply with legal regulations, manufacturer guidelines, and insurance policies. Removing them on public roads can have legal and insurance implications. Always confirm the legality of speed limiter removal in your region and use your vehicle responsibly.
Why Remove Speed Limiters?
Maximize Performance
Many modern vehicles come with built-in electronic speed limiters. By removing or adjusting these limits, you can tap into the engine’s full power and achieve higher top speeds—particularly useful in track or off-road scenarios where legal restrictions do not apply.
Greater Control
Some drivers find a speed-limited vehicle restrictive. Removing the limiter can offer a more responsive driving experience, allowing you to control how and when you reach higher speeds.
Optimised for Private & Off-Road Use
If your vehicle is used primarily on private property, closed-circuit tracks, or certain off-road conditions, a removed or raised speed limit may be suitable—provided it is safe and legally compliant in your area.
Custom Tuning Options
Speed limiter removal can be combined with other performance tuning modifications (e.g., ECU remapping or exhaust upgrades) to create a comprehensive performance package for enthusiast drivers and motorsport applications.

The Speed Limiter Removal Process
Vehicle Assessment
We start by evaluating your vehicle’s make, model, and ECU type to ensure compatibility with our speed limiter removal tools and software.Diagnostics & Data Extraction
Using specialized diagnostic equipment, we read your ECU data, identifying the specific parameters responsible for restricting top speed. This also helps us check for any existing error codes or system issues.ECU Modification
We then modify or remove the speed limiter settings, ensuring that all changes are done safely and thoroughly tested. Our approach maintains engine reliability and respects the vehicle’s operational limits.Testing & Validation
After the new settings are applied, we run tests to confirm that the limiter has been successfully removed (or adjusted) and that there are no adverse effects on engine performance or drivability.Aftercare & Support
We believe in ongoing support. Our team is available to address any questions or concerns you may have post-service, and we can provide guidance on responsible usage of your newly adjusted vehicle.
