i dont know why or how but the highest rev recorded by my SAFC is 6650. I'll take a pic next time i get a chance. I was so surprised, my friend in central jersey found out and we were like holy ****. I know the rpm needle goes up to 6800 rpm due to a little incorrection but the SAFC should show correct readings right?

 

SAFC will show the correct readings but a spike to 6650 is not out of the ordinary. Nothing to worry about.

Dixit

 

thanks, it was more of a "my car is a super freak" type worry, not a "my car is about to die" . CAI is in btw . Massive custom work, wish i took a pic before putting everything back in

 

thats cool, but I doubt theres much power waaay up there without an VI/ecu anyways. You should buy them, and give them to me!

 

I know an easy way to get even higher than that. Not recommended, though.

 

thats a normal spike considering the boost your pushing. even with the jwt it spikes to 8,000 easy but if its only a nanosecond shouldnt cause any problems. im glad to see you did the cai. i will dc you later to get all the details so i can do mines.

 

hehe, u mean down shift from 4th to 2nd when i'm already close to redline in 4th?

Oh and i do have a MEVI but no ecu. And C Max, u can definitely hit me up but i had a good friend in central jersey help me with install. I watched a lot so i have a good idea of how to do it but i gotta give credit to him for doing the majority of the work.

 

with the mevi how hard was taking off the old manifold if you did install
i cant seem to get mine off.

 

He already has the VI...

 

Stock rev limit is 6600 or 6650 not 6500.

 

Well, nevermind....

 

You and all your boost... be careful some guy at njit may steal your motor from the parking deck.

 

hmm, that explains it....

 

sometimes you post and ask the funniest $hit mecca......

 

its an 'experienced noob' thing...very few can get away with it

 

what up mecc, well im back on the road and i'll probably try and catch you this weekend to look at your cai. hopefully we can get a run in to see what difference a cai and mevi make versus my set up, but you should run damn good compared to my automatic. i'll take one car and the go please

 

The stock rev limiter is 6550 so 6650 is only 100rpm higher, given the momentum of the engine, you can't stop something with mass instantly thus it will rev a little higher than that before the rev limiter has a chance to curb it.

 

Let's get some bans in here. These posts are popping up in a few places...

 

seems like the fuel cut-off is closer to 6700.
