SO they still havent got it figured out yet huh. Oh well, guss ill have to wait till then.

 

alright deezo good purchase. one thing though you mean to tell me you kept up with a 2003 255hp max with only a y-pipe,mevi,and im guessing hacked air box sence you didnt mention intake. do you have a catback? well that gives me confidence even though im auto and gotta work alittle harder.

feb 28 i'll be going to the track to maybe 1/4 but definitly dyno

 

Seeing as people are having problems with not getting a raised limiter after ordering one, I'll have to see when I get it. Brian told me I'd be happy when I put in the car. We'll see.

 

It was about $425. It's definitely worth it.

 

Art will tell you that its rated around 215 to 220 but it is referred to a the 200amp alternator. These guys make alts for Stinger.

 

I'm not lieing about that 5th gen run either. It was amazing and we were on a wide open road at 2am. Yes, I forgot to mention that my stock box is hacked and I'm running an Airhog filter. We were door to door in 3rd at about 125mph and I had it floored.

 

 

how does one acutally know if the rev limitor has been extended how do you check that?

 

Rev that bish up to to see where the fuel will cut out.

 

hmm i hope it works out

 

before the mevi install when i was driving and i stepped on the bisshh all the way down the car was shifting gear between 6700-7100rpm's and when the mevi was added now it takes me to almost 7500rpm's. sometimes i have to let off the gas to let the tranny shift cause i dont want it reving that high and messing up my engine. so im not sure i will know. is there another way of knowing like running codes or just take there word for it

do you mean try to bring the rpm needle to 7300rpm while car's in park and if it doesnt let me thats the cut off? soory for newbie questions but first time on this topic for me and trying to understand

 

the REV limiter is 6.5k unless you've installed an ECU with an extended limiter. if your car is shifting at 6700-7500rpm without an extended limiter, your transmission may have some problems (slipping). anyone correct me if i'm wrong.

 

so your telling me when you floored your gas petal it never took you past 6.5k rpm's

laylow you should just get the jwt ecu with 7200 rev limitor sence your stock ecu is already shifting there when you floor it, and that way jwt ecu will be sending your engine fuel until 7200rpm instead of your stock sending fuel until 6.5k. cause anything after 6.5k that you are reving might be doing damage to your engine cause it stops sending fuel after 6.5k but doesnt mean your car cant pass that point of rpm's.

 

Something is out of sync if that is happening.


When you hit the rev limiter, the engine feels like it's shutting down abruptly.

I remember doing this at the track while in second gear a number of years ago.

 

if you agree that there is a fuel cut-off at 6.5k, how exactly are you revving past it?.. if there's no fuel / energy being put into the engine, how exactly is the engine gaining revolutions?

 

YES when my trans was operating correctly. . .


Could that shutting down feeling be the trans slipping/hesitating? Or was yours in working condition?

 

Its the fuel cut off.
You can rev your car all the way to 8k in a 5 speed if you wish, your not building any power up in that area though and its not doing any good for the motor.

 

i can't rev my car past ~6700 based on what the speedo says, how do you spin you're 5sp to 8k?

 

I dont, im sure its possible, Ive never tried. I know right now I can take it pass 6500 and I do not have the raised rev limiter.
6k is the highest I normally go. Anything pass that and their is no point being that I have the stock fuel cut off rate on my ecu so with the MEVI I just take it to 6k for now.
When I dynoed a while back, with the USDM we took it to 6k and I could see the the destinct power cutoff at 5500 on my car. We were still able to rev passed the 5500 mark but it made no power. I'll be dynoying again this Friday to compare the differences in the intake manifolds.
Im going to do a run with the G force ECU and one with the OEM SE ecu.
Once my JWT ecu comes in, I'll dyno that one as well to compare those differences.
That one should show a continued build of power past the G force ECU.

 

I exlpained what it was. The transmission doesn't cause what I described. We're talking about the engine not recieving anymore fuel when it reaches redline.

I have to add that cars with slipping trannies don't run the fastest stock times in the country.
