redline is now at 7k. almost every car i have been in lately has a rev limiter between 6500 and 7500. i understand that every car engine is different but im sure our family sedan car has been restricted a lot. like i have heard a lot of people say we dont give the 4g94 enough credit. most people are over 10psi boost very reliably.

as for me i am at 15psi all the way to 7k. i havent done the VDR numbers to make sure im still making sufficient power up there but when im doing 50 on the highway, drop it into second and pull to 70 i can definitely feel it a lot around 6300-6600. plus all the extra room to shift makes it feel like the gears aren't as short as they are. Im also gettin no knock at those rpms.

call me an idiot but this is pretty fun. and its not my only car so i can deal if it blows for some odd reason. but im very confident.

 

making peak hp at 6400 rpm

 

How many miles on the engine? I wish I could hear my 94 scream at those rmps but I have about 160k on the only means of transportation so... Yeah. I don't want to get too bold.

 

I'm jealous Aaron at English racing tried to raise mine for **** and giggles and he wasn't able to raise it. I know theres no point doing it NA but would of still been fun

 

Why could he not raise your rev limit? It is defined in the stock lancer rom. At least in mine it is.

 

haha i dont know. i guess it was just playing hard to get. i dont know my car was being a pain in the butt it didnt want to tune right. but maybe next time it will let him do it.

 

you could change a few things and add a lot of features yourself if u just got the cable and software.. its easy

 

I just wanted to pipe in with regards to your questions about the hardware. Most of our motor is built off the g93 in the mirage and the head is identical in every way minus the cam and a few sensors it seems. The mirage runs close to 7000 rpm rev limit stock with no valve float, and some of the mirage guys I talk to said that our valvetrain is good up to around 8500 rpm but its pushing it pretty good. Anyways, you obviously need to find a way to make use of the RPM but just figured this was good knowledge to have as far as the stock hardware is concerned.

 

Is it an automatic? I found it really had 2 rev limiters one was like a static rev limit like the evo's launch control mechanism and the other was a in drive limit which has a cap then bleed off rpm set.

The second rpm limiter sets the timing to -1 permanently until the rpm's are lowered. The way its written it may as well be a speed limiter cuts near all power.

 

You guys realize that the 4g93 has a shorter stroke (89mm) compared to the 4g94 (95.8mm).
The shorter stroke allows it to rev higher.

If a 2.4L F1 engine at 19,000 rpm has a 25 m/s (5000 ft/min) mean piston speed;
then the 4g93 will rev at 8561.79 at 25 m/s
and the 4g94 will rev at 7954.07 at 25 m/s

But then again thats an F1 engine

 

thug life.

so what this guy^ is trying to say is... raise it more!?!? lololololol jk

 

If you have an F1 team budget, go nuts.

 

I would love to learn how to tune but I don't know how and I'm not going to lie it kinda scared to do it cause its my daily driver and don't want to f it up

 

we have 7mm more stroke then evo hmmm. tuning isnt hard its pretty fun. everyone is afraid at first then your flashing several roms to your ecu a day like its second nature. you cant just know how to do it... you learn by doing it

 

ok so remember ive never done this. i need a Tactrix cable and evoscan anything else. i already been tuned by aaron at english racing is there a way to say that on my computer that way if i screw up i can reset it back
