2009 ve ss (rpm unlock)

[aliahmedsh]

Hi All,

Is it safe to unlock the rpm on my 2009 ve ss...I have a auto transmission with sports mode and triptronic as well BUT on all 3 modes the rpm never goes past 6, as a matter of fact it hangs on 6...ppl here get it unlocked from unofficial sources.

Is it safe or does leave a bad effect on the engine, although it does voids the cars warranty...lolllzz

Why do you want to rev it past 6000 rpm

[aliahmedsh]

cuz sometimes i get into a drag race, i got beat up from a 2006 5.7 ltr ss the other day, and this is the cheapest upgrade i can do....lollllzzzz

Without a cam change u pretty much wont make anymore power past 6000 anyway only thing you will do is break shit and still lose

[HoZy]

Your motor peaks power @ 5900rpm If you want more power get a tune, extractors, exhaust, OTR etc.

explains itself really

Yes, unlock it. Then you can feel really stupid when you're walking down the road picking up pieces of piston and rod that have made an inopportune exit from the block.

hahaaaaaaa.....dat was some funny replies i guesss....well ive seen 2 cars wid unlocked rpm's and they did make a difference especially when the gear shifts from 1st to 2nd da tyres burn out or roll a bit like it does in 1st gear...Also these 2 cars were 5.7 litres (2006 ss) and mine is 6.0 litres, even then i could not beat them...As per them they only unlocked the rpm and nothing else, maybe they were lying....

Anyways if it is that much risky then im not gonna do it....Thanx for da gr8 info ppl....

if you replace the "d"with "th" you wont sound like so much of a bogan twit, although wanting to remove the factory rev limiter probably voids that comment......
I reckon your taking the piss..........

What you should do to beat them Ali is drill a hole in your intake manifold to suit some 1/4" clear plastic tube, run this from your manifold to inside your car(just use a 50mm hole saw to get in) buy a can of aerostart and as your about to drag start spraying it down the tube and this will give you a similar boost of power to NOS
LOL

sweet will this work on my lux bucket or only with a petrol

[Nanoxcel]

Seriously one of the electricians i used to work with did this to the snorkle on our work Diesel landcruisers (used to drag race them home, on a private mine road) cause the 2 cruisers used to do the same speed, but it made no difference, just stunk the cab out lol,

Please dont try this it was a joke and any of that start stuff is seriously flammable

[jasonsv6]

i had a mate at school who plumbed up one of the washer bottle kits to spray extra fuel into the carby of his vk needless to say it didnt work

Dude that is a stupid thing to say. In my opinion you will need at least a 3/8" tube to flow enough aerostart to win a drag race against an LS1.

[jasonsv6]

that wonderfull knocking sound will indicate that is all working well

[aliahmedsh]

does any1 here gets serious or just fool around ???

[aliahmedsh]

So, if i change the stock air intake with a k&n or some other intake, how much difference will it make and does that effect the engine in a bad way or good way ? Dont mind if my questions sound dumb or amateur cuz im really new to these things...and this is my sporty car...

[RUF-60L]

get a better exhaust would be the first thing to do headers, cats, the whole thing

[aliahmedsh]

well as my car is under warranty for another 30,000 km and i get it serviced every 5000 km from the dealer, mostly oil change and routine checkup, if i change anything it voids the warranty.....as far as air intake is concerned i can easily and quickly swap it with the original one before going to dealer for service but headers and cams e.t.c ...i cannot for now....

[TinSnips]

Only voids warranty if the new part causes the fault. Quality aftermarket products, installed by a licensed workshop is lightyears safer than canning your rev-limiter. No dealership will warranty that!!!

[kuzman89]

he's from saudi arabia guys, cut him some slack. Dealers might be different over there too.

[aliahmedsh]

come on ppl...can we get over da rev-limiter joke now.....besides in saudi we dont have any dealer for after market upgrades or so....we bring them in from dubai and get it fitted from any local workshop, the dealers wont do that for you....yeah, that how it is here.

[RUF-60L]

we arent joking now, i just said buy a a full exhaust...get it fitted
