[cyrez187]

why cant i hit redline in my car till the rev limit kicks in?? the max i can get is 6100rpm is that right? thanks

 

[speedy13]

no thats definatly wrong.fuel cut is supposed to be at 7300 rpm.is your cel on?

 

[miamieclipse]

auto or 5sp?

 

[cyrez187]

5 spd
i put a msd ignition in, im thinkin maybe thats doing something?it has a rev limit control and i put it up to 7000 but still only 6100rmp max

 

[cyrez187]

so does anyone get why i cant hit fuel cut>

 

[miamieclipse]

Wait its a 5sp and limits you to 6100? Those have fuel cutoff at 7200.......Shit automatics are controled at 6500................strange

 

[cyrez187]

ya i dont get it at all, do u think it could have something to do with the msd ignition or what?

that 7200rpm limit for manuals is BS, i hit 7464 in mine.

Uh... fuel cut is on turbocharged motors.

Because you're normally-aspirated.

The ECU will stop supplying fuel at 7500 RPM, but that's not "fuel cut". Some 2G FWD cars have a speed limiter which cuts off fuel at 130 MPH, because the stock tires were H-rated.

What gear are you trying to redline in?

 

[kelvinb]

my tach gauge is off. my safc shows 200rpm more past 3000rpm

DEFIANT-I know your a moderator and all,and since you are,if your ever in miami i'll let you take out my baby for a spin and redline it so you can bounce off my 7300 rpm fuel cut.I mean i've done it more than once and i also lost a race cuzz of it so i know for a fact 2gnt's have fuel cut.O and this was at 60 mph,from 2nd to 3rd , not at 130 mph

 

[cuttheduck]

you mean you bounced off your rev limiter.

Not fuel cut.

 

[cyrez187]

so u guys dont know why i cant get past 6100rpms?

 

[Defiant]

so u guys dont know why i cant get past 6100rpms?

Are you going to tell us what gear that's in?

No, I don't dare go to Miami. Too close to Boca. Someone there I don't dare see again. Sad story.

ya thats your rev limiter, and if you lost a race from it, then that loss was from poor driving and not shifting before your rev limiter kicked in. i mean its not like it was a surprise that it would do that. or did you honestly not know? shift around 7000 rpms, a little past the power band but you stay higher in it in the next gear.

 

[aliczander]

are you double clutching because if your not your gonna loose more rpms between gears

 

[nutshot]

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should...



We don't need to double clutch, we have the miracle of "synchro's".

cough cough *bullshit* cough cough

Max engine speed MT 7300 rpm (electronically limited)
Max engine speed AT 6464 rpm (electronically limited)

i would have to say the reason why you cant get past 6100 is because you dont have the power to get that high

try going though the power band
go up to 4 grand dump the cluch
then shift at these points
1st gear: 5800
2nd gear: 7200
3rd gear: 6500 - 7200
4th gear: 7000

because in my personal experence with my car when i shift though the power band like this i get up to 120 super quick then it takes a little while to get up to 135-140 shes got it in her it just takes her a little while to get up there she will hold 65-67k stong in 5th but she needs some road behind her to get up to 7k i didnt have enoughf road to get higher then 7 k but shes got it in here i ran into trafic though so i had to slow down
and when you shift dont let off the gass when u push in the cluch just keep goin
try that and get back to us see if that wokers any better for you

 

[cyrez187]

didnt change anything doesnt matter what gear im in still wont let me go past 6100
