thanks

I have a complete rear end for parts here if you need anything? I also have an english manual for that truck S83P

I have an '89 Hijet ,Jumbo, Left hand drive. The speedo only goes to 25 MPH, yes MILES per hour . That is as fast as this truck will run. Can I change the rearend or tranny to get a little faster ? Maybe 40-50 MPH. Thanks.

from what I understand, these are the trucks that were imported to the us new in the 80's, hence left hand drive, I have never messed with one, but I have been told by some friends that the truck is electronicly limited, not the rearend, but here's the neat part, they said something that you can cycle the key switch like 3 times (somehow, I don't have details) and the trucks would run at full speed

anyone have the actual details???

i'm looking for higher speed gears or a 5 speed. i've seen them on other sites but they don't seem to ship to the US.

does it cut off at a RPM , or a given speed no mater which gear you are in?
i have seen a rotor button that shorts out the spark to the plugs at a set RPM. all you do is replace it with a standard one.

Try a chev sprint 3cylinder rotor if you can get one. It has a small tab comming off the end where it passes the spark plug wire tab on the distributor cap. Cut the tab off the sprint rotor and it should work. Check the size and hieght first.

Guys, i might have some info (might cloud/clear this up). i have a 94 mitsu lhd made for us use, it has 25mph speedo, 3spd, 4wd, dumpbed and even though it is a 94 it has the 550cc 3G81 engine. i don't know why it isn,t a 3G83/660cc since it is a 94 (us/mitsu contract?).....but anyway it is governed to 25mph, at that speed a governor light comes on and stays on as long as you stay in the throttle. when the governor is "on" it will not respond to additional throttle and appears to be in an electronically controlled fuel starved state. in the manual there is a diagram showing the fuel control circuit. basically from the ignition there are two wires that connect to the fuel pump.....however the wires also side step/tie into a speedometer reed switch (whatever that is), a vehicle speed limit control relay which is tied into the main and slow fuel cut solenoids then through the fuel pump control unit and then into the fuel pump. after looking at the diagram in the service manual i have came to the conclusion that i don't have a clue how it works, but here is what i do know:

1. in second gear i can get up to 25mph and the governor kicks in. it's revving pretty high-so i don't think its an "rpm limiting governor"

2. disconnect the speedo and somehow it knows when it is at "that speed" and the governor kicks in- so i don't think it is a "speedo controlled governor"

3. imo i think it's probably some sort of redundant system that is controlling/limiting the fuel flow (don't really know)

now i would like to point out that my reasearch/testing of this system is NOT for any purpose to bypass it but more for understanding how it works in case of failure that could cause a "no fuel/inoperative state". the actual speed of my mitsi (as well as prob 90% of the people who have changed to taller tires) is an "uncalibrated 25mph"

now "key question" (qualified by stating- due to the graciousness and fore-sight of Kevin O'Neil and the sponsors of this site we are an international site). since our Canadian brothers are not bound by us speed restrictions, this could be tested. in theory, on this type of system key-on to key-off switching while in a WOT/governor-on condition will produce a slight increase in speed. this possibly tricks the system somehow. i'm sure it's not healthy for the motor and quickly the system will settle back down anyway. so it appears to be just some kind of anomoly in the system.

sorry this is so long but it's a whole new interesting hobby trying to figure out how these kei trucks tick. kinda like getting a complicated but fun toy with no instructions included.

hope this helps....later, slim

What engine has your hijet ? I can try to find out which rotor will fit without limiter.

cheers,

if you can post a print of how it is wired up, i may be able to help. is your 94 a FI motor or carb?
if the fuel pump it being cut off , then it would be easy to bypass .

follow your speed cable to trans. and see if it ties into a speed limiter. if its the same as daihatsu, just remove extra pcs.and leave wires hooked up, screw speed cable back into trans. you are just bypassing that speed limiter. also on the daihatsu you can go into trans. and shift trans. into high range. they did not make it possible for a person to do it inside cab.
