Reload this Page Any way to Cut the governor on the 2nd gen GT? Is there one?

Ford Escort Ford Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

The only time you have to worry about the governor it kicks the fuel out at 7500 rpm to prevent internal engine damage. Feel free to mod away.

Default governor
unless you plan on getting better connecting rods for your BP.. i'd keep the governor in place...
i personally wouldnt really go past 7200 in the BP's.. and 7500 is fuel cut.. past that.. you're in nomans land on stock internals..

and if it's acceleration or speed you want.. just swap to a 91' EGT tranny.

worth their weight in gold.
