Rev limiter
- Thread starter ClioDude
- Start date
When its warmed up go as fast as possible in 1st when its quiet, see when the revs stop rising and youve hit the limiter!
cant say ive heard of spirited driving in a 1.2 8v, i didnt even think they had rev counters, but 5700 sounds about right for a 1.2.
my last 1.4 RT, a phase1, the rev counter only worked occasionally but im sure it was working once when i hit the limiter and it was around 6000 (where the redline is) if not just under....
Anyway now with a working rev counter on my phase2 i was overtaking some poor mk1 1.2 clio (oops not best thread to put that info
) on a nice country straight and i noticed i hadnt hit the rev limiter and i was at 6500 rpm, i was slightly amazed by this due to thinking the limiter was less, I then decided i better change up instead of being confused about my rev limiter. I tested this out when not overtaking later on, it bounced off limiter at around 6600-6700rpm is this normal was i mistaken about the position of the limiter on my phoase 1 with a faulty rev counter or has my current ECU had the limiter raised ?
Sorry to hi-jak cliodudes thread, just it came to me while reading this and i thought id ask, sorry bout my long story.
