Rev Limit

[Acid18]

NOOB Alert!

just wondering on which RPM would you set your limiter on your Scion to get the Best potential of the car without wrecking it?

i have searched for it but cant find a better answer from others posts. maybe not satisfied enough.

It's generally accepted that setting it to over 9000 is best.

will it not affect the Car with that high rev? on which gear would you try and reach that high?

just trying to push the car a little bit more than daily driving.

This guy is trolling you cause you sound like you are trolling everyone here.

Go anywhere up to 7500 rpm in any gear and youre good to go

i like setting my indicator at 7000 and leaving the limiter at 7200. there really arnt alot of reasons to push it any further in my opinion

hahaha.. well its fine.. its his point of view. we never know how most people drive this thing. some uses it as a daily car with just cruising in it and let other drool. I have that in some days.. but some wants to just burn rubber every time coz thats how they fancy the car and stick to the Redline..

i just want to cruise with it then if there will be chances i can burn out.

Max torque as they say on the Brochure is 6600rpm but the driver always feels the difference.

Please correct me if im wrong..

so this is the safest i might change my limiter to 7500 just to be sure..

thanks!

Wherever it's set from factory would be good on the stock engine. Usually those engineer guys know where the limits should be. If you start tinkering with the insides of the engine you can have your builder/tuner figure that out for you.

Nothing was there when i checked it i tried to stroke it to redline last Friday but i have not seen the Red light on the limiter and that made me curious to check whether it has it or not..

Surprisingly nothing was there..

did you turn on your indicator? i think it comes from the factory disabled. heres a link:

i set up mine for 7300. atleast u have some room to rev it more. thats just me

Every engine is going to have a built in rev limiter from the factory. I think you are confusing the actual rev limiter with some kind of "shift" light or something.

A rev limiter, by definition, limits the maximum RPM the engine can turn...if you hit that limit, you will know, because the car will usually jerk as the ECU does what it needs to do to keep the engine from turning any faster. You can raise or lower the rev limiter through ECU tuning only...no smartly-engineered vehicle would allow you to change the actual rev limiter (raise it, anyway) on your own. Too many terrible things can happen if you over-rev an engine outside of its engineered boundaries:

I set mine 7200 for rev light indicator.... Just to be safe. My BRZ is my daily driven car and weekend car... I just want to be safe not forcing the engine to much...

I see what you did there. For the rest of you, just google "Its over 9000."

My shift light was enabled from the factory. Given how this car was developed and engineered, I have a feeling that the rev limit is set at the proper place for 99% of your driving experience.
