[ssmate]

[ephect]

[Zuicider]

rev limiter is in the chip/computor change the settings to increase max revs

Maybe increase the shift points

But why would you want to completely remove it??

[VN_Luke]

What car? what motor? what box?

I can help ya out.

its a 92 VP commodore 3.8 litre factory box......have u done it before if so what results did ya get?

[Cobez]

Maybe increase the shift points

But why would you want to completely remove it??

its possible to get a 3.8 V6 reving out harder than a V8 if the V6 has no rev limiter...........

[ephect]

yea but it wouldnt last too much longer before something is outside the engine, thats meant to be inside

[Cobez]

how do you mean?

[Cobez]

have a chat to Dr Bob.. hes the guru when it comes to that kinda stuff

yup yup the doctor has sorted me cheers

[ephect]

a stockish setup wont make any power after 6,000 rpm anyways ive taken my VP V6 to rev limiter in second and theres just nothing there after about 5,200 rpm...

zaclty
i wouldnt remove it cause no power made up that high anyways

But why? Gears are there for a reason, and by removing the limiter to rev it higher, it will be revving in a range that makes **** all torque or power - hence the changing of gears to rev in the next gear's power band

If you want to see what happens after 5500-6000 look at a torque map on a dyno to see where it starts to drop off
