Mine too Pete, never get within 1000 rpm of the limit, there is just no need on a turbo car

i thought a rev limiter was supposed 2 stop you overreving on upchanges i know there is no rev limit on downchanges thats why i ask.

Are you refering to the red light and the buzzer that is user set on the rev counter? If so that is not a rev limiter it is a light and buzzer that you set to come on at a set revs much like a change light.

At Santa Pod or another racing strip?

Or a set of traffic lights?

If the latter, I suggest lexus lights, a VTA dumpvlave and a trip to Halfords in the near future


P.S. I'm sure a rev limiter is just that, a rev limit... limit on how high revs can go? Does the rev "limit" go higher than the redline for some reason? Anyone???

hello, i mean a set of traffic lights , i think when you pass the rev limiter quite a lot then it popping of course .but i thought that 8500rpm it would start popping ?

Previous owner removed the rev limiter perhaps.

I do know it's not good to hit the rev limiter as it can cause damage to the cambelt when bouncing.
