do i have a rev limiter on my car? if so, how can i get rid of it?
thanks

 

Yes.

Don't.

 

 

It's there for a reason.

 

dont really know if ur car has a rev limiter on it... my 95 i took it up to 135+...

anyway, you can buy a hypertech programmer to remove it, just plug it in and follow the directions.......

BUT why do you want to remove it? unless you are making big power, or forced induction, or cam, you really dont need to rev it over the factory settings............. the stock motor dies after 5,500 rpm anyway

 

Every car has a rev limiter. Don't remove it unless you plan on buying a new engine in a few days.

 

That's not a rev limiter.

The stock motor makes peak power at 5800 rpm, which means that you can take it to 6k easily.

 

sure its not 5,827.9 rpm?

 

Is an LS1 good for more than 6k?

I know that my LT1 goes to 6K no prob.

And as far as Speed Limiters go, im pretty sure mine doesnt have one

155+ (On high rated tires, Saftey first!)

 

It's good for around 6200 bone stock. No need to really take it higher than that. Obviously once you start digging into the motor, 6500-7000 is do-able.

Agree, I like to have my shift points set about 400rpm after peak. So that's about right, but I didn't have mine bumped up yet to try to give teh stock 4L60e a little more life. Although, working on the cam swap right now and shift points will be set at 6,400-6,500; I've already started a RPM Tranny fund...

That does make me curious though, do these cars even have a "speed" limiter in them???

Not that i'll ever hit it, the only way I'll ever hit 150+mph is if i'm clocking in a 8 sec timeslip.

 

Many came with non speed rated tires and a speed limited to 118 mph. All of those that came with speed rated tires are limited to 162mph.

 

ha. thanks. the reason im asking and wondering though is that, when i get on it after 60, it feels like its letting off some

 

If I read that right....you should not feel a loss of power after 60. What gear are you in, and if an auto, is it not downshifting?

 

yean its the a4. and yea its downshifting.
