Clio 172 Ph2 Engine Rev Limiter!!!

[B1LLRS]

hey people,

driving the cup today took it right over the rev range and hit the limiter before i knew it! which was around 6800rpm, BUT then another 10 minutes down the road did it again and the limiter went to 7200rpm and kept on going to 7200rpm. Any ideas? Im thinking maybe the first time round the engine wasnt at full temp it was about half way up i think? Any answers to this would settle my mind lol, just to add had the cambelt and dephaser done today so was a spirited test run.

Yeah limiter rises once warmed up.

Limiter goes up when water temp is over 75deg.

You should always warm your engine! Even when water temp is up leave it another 5 / 10 mins for oil temp. You will be murdering your internals and halving the life of your engine. You see it all to often people thrashing it from cold.
