Default Help with finding my governor

Hey what's up Forum, I got a 7th Gen 03 Honda Civ LX and i'm finally tired of the governor kickin in at 115-120mph!!! My car has some exterior work done and I guess that makes people just always wanna try me when they pull up to me. I didn't do anything extent under the hood except install a aftermarket K&N airfilter so my engine is pretty stock. I'd like to know where the governor is at and if the car even has one. I also want to know technically how to take it off until I can save enough dough to cop me a turbo kit n what not....please help

it's electronically limited in the ECU, your tires probably aren't rated for speeds that high, and driving that fast on the street is not a good idea anyway.
