My '95 RA engine let go recently (I was driving too fast). I did however perhaps stupidly believe that I had a rev limiter. I must say I was revving at 9K according to my dial. Anyone else had this sort of problem ?? I thought the ECU did ths.

My 94 WRX kicks in just below 8000. I have only hit it twice though. Both in 1st gear, so barely sustanied.

You should never even hit thr red line, let alone the rev limiter.
|
Whats going on then ?
Does the ECU have a bug or what ? |
No, not a bug in the ECU, in the driver... 9K...
|
If they do not expect you to hit the red line they would not have put it there.

Orbv,
I tend to agree. I can quite often be seen heading towards the red line in first and second. Try to keep off the rev limiter tho. The car accelerates so quick tho that I managed it twice while over taking slower cars a few weeks back. Acceleration is addictive and during full bore accel I tend to watch the road and not the tacho. With the SS DP the TD05 quite happily flies to the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd. :) Normally try to change up at 6800rpm straight back to peak boost on change up. Luuurvley. :D The car's there to be enjoyed, not just to sit still and be cleaned. P. The red line also IMO is there to show that the engine can goto a certain RPM only for a very short time. If you have stronger uprated internals, all balanced, then 9k would probably be a usable maximum. But hey, I don't know. If I don't know I just ask S Lawson. He's probably fed up with 50 questions from me all the time. :D:D [Edited by Sith - 10/19/2001 10:21:50 PM] |
I think what Im trying to say is that there is NO rev limiter. NOTHING cut in at 9k, let alone before it. I know I was driving too fast but I thought the limiter might cut in and stop me shafting the engine.
Cheers though, its hard with a gear box like mine.. Quite right the car is there to be driven..BEAUTIFUL |
