Title: Rev Limiter
Post by: Zukipilot on October 11, 2004, 01:56:36 AM
Where is the rev limiter on a 16V (what RPM). I decided to give a couple of low riders a run for their money this weekend and gave the ol-X-90 all she had. Gears 1, 2&3 up to 6500 RPM and never felt a rev limiter kick in :-/ I was wondering what RPM it Kicks in at, because I had the 1.6 realy screaming at 6500.

And YEA, I did out run the low riders ;D. I loved the look on their faces :o. One was a Lowered Neon, no hood, chrome everywhere, hugh exhaust, and sounded impressive at the red light. He was pissed off  >:( that the rolerskate on steroids beat him. The other guy was in a Riced out Civic. He came in second about 1.5 car lengths behind the X-90, pulled up beside me and gave me a thumbs up ;) It was fun, I just wanted to see if I could hang with the ricers and ended up beating them.

Ya know, I'm not exactly certain. I know that I have had mine kick in though. Sometimes at 5500, sometimes higher. I think it depends on what gear you are in and how hard you're pushing it.  ???

I know it's there though.

I've never hit mine, but I've never
been too game to take it over 6000
until I installed the Turbo.

It never had enough poop to need
to rev it that high, all it used to do
was make noise, not power at 5K +

    On '95 the fuel injection kicks off at 6800 RPM and will kick back on when it drops back down to 6500 RPM.

i have found the rev limiter on my 91 8v to be a very soft rev limiter..its not a hard shut down like most engines so u hardly ever notice..unless u are doing a burn out and ridding the limiter  ::) not that i have ever done that lol

when u hit the limiter on a cobra itl keep bouncing back and fourth..but when u hit it in the hooptie it just pegs lol its about 6800rpm

I normally run it up to around 5200 in most situations, but in first and second it pegs 6500 real quick with the small tires, then in third I ran it up to see if it was around 6500 because I was ahead of the pack ;) It even caught a second :o.
