What determins limiter change (182)

[r8byb]

Hey guys, reason i ask is i drove my car down the motorway, a good 20 miles, then driving spirited as id call it for a good 4 -5 mins before it gave me full revs ?

Is that right ?

Cheers

works it out off the oil temprature IIRC

 

[r8byb]

ah right i see, if im using 10w 40 instead of 5w 50, could that possibly be the cause ?

How have you got a 182 FF cup?

 

[r8byb]

i ment instead of 5w 40 was a typo, went and bought .

Edit : Late at night :|, 182 with cup packs..

You'll hit a 6750rpm limiter untill the engine reaches optimum oil temperature... then you'll get the full 7250rpm

i see cheers, just thought it was a bit wierd it took so long.

On honda's vtec don't kick in yo, till it's warmed up properly. When it's cold they only go to 4.5k or something like that. The clio works along the same lines, without the vtec yo (obviously)

No hard driving til oil level is up!

Driving along the motorway can cool the oil I think. When I had my Punto GT, it would get quite cool when driving at 65-70 along a motorway. (could tell as had a oil temp gauge.)

Maybe that's why you had the cold limiter?

Could be, thanks guys .

I remember doing this once a long time ago

drive in a higher gear so engine warms a bit quicker, ie keep in 2nd at 30 rather than 3rd, 3rd at 50 rather than 4th etc.

^^ Lower gear then.

Think its actually water temp! at 85 degrees, but I await to be told I'm wrong

 

[Ian_182]

I like the way M3's do this by having the lights around the dials until its warm

Its 85c coolant temp for the higher limiter and VVT, not oil temp there are no oil temp sensors on an 1*2 F4R engine.
