Why dont my rev limiter work

[jonathanvb]

Got a little to much wheel spin in the wet the other day and luked at my rev counter and it was past 6,000 rpm

thought they were spose to kick in at 6,000rpm

My thrash v6 vn wagon kicks in at just over 5,500rpm

and just wondering how mine could be fixed??


Cheers, Jonathan

[immortality]

for what car/engine? does it have a modified tune?

[greenfoam]

Is it a VP/R? they would bounce the needle past 6000 before they slowed down off the limiter, My VP is set to 5500 but the needle will still make it past 6000 before it comes back down if the engine didn't have much resistance with its spinning up

Hey Mate

Is it like staying continulsy, on 6000 rpm, ya sure the needle isnt just jumping der with you reving it up and down ?

[RabidDog_12345]

yea most likely just the needle... they arnt the most accurute.. i know most vn's have a solid limiter at 5500rpm.. unless the tune is infact custom then maybe there is no limiter

[wildss]

sorry to hijack but whats the limiter on a 5l set to?
mine is at 5800 does that sound about right?

my old commodore use to rev to 5,800RPM and then i put a different computer in it and i dont think it has had a re-tune and it reved to 6,500RPM and i could get 80 out of first insted of 60, and 140 out of 2nd insted of 120. what do you guys think its a V6 S1 and i just put a nov89 comp in.
