whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

now I know my limiter is around 6500 (stupidly tried it out in neutral). didn't do it for a very long time, once I hit it I let go of the accelerator

very true, except theres a variation, if you hit it in 2nd you go to the stargate.

I've never hit the rev limiter, even when racing someone. I have pretty much develope the reflex to shift on time before banging it. But I'm still adding a shiftlight especially when I decide to boost her.

With the inaccuracy of the stock tach you pretty much have to be trying to hit the limiter while driving. This thread is back from teh dead zOMG.

hit 6800 for the first time yesterday other than that never went past 5500.. btw what IS the limit of the vq30 with a mevi?

stock rev limit is 6750(around there) unless you raise the limiter.

No it is not that high. IIRC it is 6400-6500max. Most logging shows 6400

i thought it was 6550

tried it once did it a lot in my Accord I hated it for that

Did it once on purpose, well sorta, just manually useing 1-2-D on my auto, hit it at the 1-2 shift for about 3 eeh uuhs (Dont you love doing sounds online?).

You should add the option: Once or twice.

Just an idea.

I'd like to hear that story...

did it once, while peeling out in first



it was fun heheheh

Hitting the rev limiter without a MEVI or 00VI is stupid in a 4th gen

I wus hittin tha rev limiter one time so bad dat I threw 3 rods... one out the top, one out the bottom, and one right through the front radiator.
man it was crazay...
I was sprayin like 300 shot nos on my supercharged double turbocharged motor.

Bumping this thread is even stupider.

U know I never thought of it that way. But now I believe I ought to try it. I think I'll go do it now!!

i've done it couple times before when i wasn't paying attention to my tach meter.. it just cuts off fuel and feels like you're braking really hard.. My lightened flywheel probably has something to do with that since the RPM's climb faster.

Now that i have 00VI + greddy emanage ultimate, i bounce off my 7200RPM set limit once every now and then =P

sigh, just finished my 5spd swap and ACCIDENTALLY went from the VERY top of 3rd, to second I Literally saw my tach surpass 8k range... VERY scary, sounded like a formula 1 car.lol

No need to, 4th gen VQs die at like 6K. When I get that high in the rev range, no matter what gear, it slows down enough that I can make perfect shifts

Happened to me once. First time with the ECU at the track, launched okay but gassed it to much... the tires broke loose and my first gear rpm's skyrocketed. Dam that slippery rock falls! Bounced off 7.5k rpms on the JWT ECU. Good to know that the JWT rev limiter works.... but don't wanna do it again. Keep it at 7k tops.

Well, while we're at it and this thread won't go back to whence it came, I hit it rather frequently. A few times just to see how aggressive it was, a few times to see how accurate the tacho was, a few times to demonstrate a rev limiter to a friend, and a few times just because it's cool. I kind of like the rev limiter.

I've done it when I'm racing along and i'm in D but think i'm in 2nd. I accidentally flicked the gear up and it hits Neutral and bounces off the rev limiter. It's a little embarassing.

im no p u s s y into going to redline but i never actually tried bounching it off rev limiter .... until today with rain on the floor its something worth trying.. nothing too special just felt liike a power shut down. oh well.. at least i found out i can take my car to about 6550-6600 and thats my new redline

6550 is both the redline and fuel cut... what was your "old" redline?

i used to shift right at the beggning of the "red line" lol.. i think it shows it at like 6450-6500

6550 is where the red line begins, hence the name REDLINE
