420A What is the rev limiter on the 420a?

[barza21]

Answering the original post, fuel goes out at 7200rpms and spark cuts out at 7800rpms. We had this discussion a long time ago on 2gnt but I believe those were the numbers.

Back on topic,

Locke did you ever log your car and find out the actual electronic limit on our cars?

I drive a 98 GS Manual and from my memory i want to say that it cut fuel at 6500 or just above it... But i seem to recall the engine slamming off of it like it wanted to rev alot higher. But that could just be wishful thinking.

If everyone else is getting to rev to 7300 and i'm stuck at 6500 I'm going to be tremendously upset.

(P.s. what's stock redline? My gauges read 6500 but i'm pretty sure they are aftermarket gauges so they might've been auto gauges)

Stock Redline is 7k for manual, 6.5k for auto

I had that issue with some aftermarket gauges, even though redline was physically in the same place on the dial it showed the auto redline at 6500 instead of just over 7000

Hmmm. Well I guess that makes sense. Would that also mean that all of my RPM measurements would be off throughout the spectrum? My car does seem to idle kinda low sometimes. Now i want new gauge faces.

i think mark also has a custome made IM if i remember correctly, i remember seeing some sweet pics of it in another thread.

Yeah it would. I bet if you peel off those guage faces you'll find that they read the right numbers underneath.

Logged my 99 M/T; when I run it up through 1st or 2nd until it cuts out, it first bounced at 7507rpm, then jumped around near 7200 - in fact, the mean over the data points while it was bouncing off the limiter in 1st was 7205rpm. 7250rpm is IMO the actual limit, considering possible ECU hysteresis .

Yeah i guess that's probably what i'll end up doing. I'm Curious what it'd look like though. I kinda like my white gauge faces. But the guy also put in some sort of color controller backlight thingie. And i didn't find the controls for it till just a month or so ago. It dims and switches between blue and green light. But my gauge faces are white with blue lettering so it makes it look like, blue and light light bluish green.

So does that mean he replaced the whole gauge or do you think the stock gauges are behind it? And if so, aren't the stock ones red? Or is it just red light behind it?



Edit: Sorry for being off topic. I'm new, I don't know any better. =p

I used to have some just like that, and they're just stick on faces on top of the original ones. the normal guages light up orange, kinda blah, but there are ways to fix that.

If you don't mind the incorrect numbers then leave them. redline is in the right place, you're just seeng the wrong numbers

mine revs to 7200 just headers and cat back exhaust

^^^ ? cool mine did the same but my car was just stock

7200 rpm is our fuel cut off 6500-6800 is were we would shift if not tuned to shift at 7k or were ever you have tuned it to shift at,,,,,
