The retro (re-tro) theory: all engines south of the equator rev harder.

I like that theory haha

 

lol, like toilet water how it spins the other way up top, do our drive shafts rotate the other way ... lol jk

ok tonight ill try and get some footage but it might be shotty quility from my camera fone tho ... if i remember ...

 

I agree, I can't hit above 6500...... but the car have less than 1500 KM on this vid tho

maybe I can reach 6800 RPM but I don't see any advantage past 6200...

^love the empty fuel tank lol...
ill see if i can get mine up now, but they were taken on a fone so bad quality, but u can hear it bounce off the limiter

 

ok ill try and upload them now, as mentioned thay are off my fone and bad quality, but u can hear it and sorta make it out on the vid.
im holding the camera with the steering wheel so in one of then i hadto go throught a traffic island so it sorta looks like i dropped it but yeah ...
ill try to get better ones in the next couple days...

a couple questions.

1. so can the limitter be removed?

2. and if so do you get more power out of your car.

3. what will this do to improve your engine? ??

someone do explain.. is there an expert in the house?

 

removing the rev limitor would be a bad idea in our case, we do not have a rev happy toyota or honda, our engine have a very long 100mm stroke vs the 80ish mm stroke hondas have. i know your thinking whats 2cm's allow me to illistrate
at 6500 rpm with a 100mm stroke, the pistsons are moving at 21.667meters per second
at 7800 rpm with a 100mm stroke, the pistons are moving at 26.000 meters per second
at 7800 rpm in a celica gts (2ZZ-GE) with a stroke of 85mm the pistons are moving at 22.1 meters per second

due to the shorter stroke, the engine is allowed to rev higher,and the pistons are still only moving at the same speed, but at the expense of loosing torque.

 

i dont know about you guys but mine only reved pass 7000 rpms when my clutch was shot, but after the clutch was replaced it couldnt go pass 6800 . its weired i didnt think that would have anything to do with it.

 

AHHHH I see. thank you for that info.

 

I tried this and my limiter kicked in about 7200 RPM. This is so wierd that people are getting different numbers. My clutch is fine and the car has 20K. But it easily goes past 7K

 

Take a picture and prove it. Until then, you're a liar in my eyes.

 

Wow 7 posts in and already a liar in Otters eyes. Not a great first impression. I will see if I can get a pic up sometime.

 

Otter's a pushover.
