Just driven a 93MY WRX last night.

Had a performance exhaust, dump valve, suspension alterations and induction kit

When i topped the gears, it seemed to stop the power and then in a sense, start to gurgle and sound like it was about to cut out. This would be before i changed gear, and also some of the reason why i changed.

Whats up with it?

 

Hitting the rev limiter?

 

has this happened to you before??

can this be confirmed by any other person?

 

What revs were you doing in each gear when it happened?

 

damn, hard to remember now

errr, im sure it was about 4-5000, somewhere round there??

what u suggested does sound about right though

 

No, rev limiters will (or should!) only cut in at the red line, so anywhere between 6500 and 8250 depending on engine spec (can't recall where the 93 WRX redline is but I'd guess between 6500 and 7500). If the one you tried is cutting out at between 4000 and 5000, it suggests something else - maybe fuel starvation? Try it again if you can and note what revs you're doing when it happens. If it was just a test drive, maybe better to leave it and look for another - there are some good ones around

 

it was one that im interested in.

they sed they are going to sort it, and then i can drive it again, to check

 

OK, best of luck

 

cheers m8!

gonna need it

its a really nice modded jap 93 wrx, bright red!
