is there a way to remove the rev limiter on the automatics? is the dealership capable of removing it? i know they might not want to, but i have a good friend there and he would be able to do it if it is able to be done. thanks

 

which rev limiter are you talking about. the one that doesnt let you go past 4k in Neutral or 6500 while driving? which model do you have?

 

He probably means the one that dosen't allow you to go past 4k in neutral.

Honestly... that's there to protect the engine and transmission. There really isn't a need to rev the engine that high with no load on it... can it can cause problems.

Just one more of the fun things about having an automatic.

 

At least once a month we get a guy angry about the 4k limit in neutral... why do so many automatics wanna neutral drop? or is it that they just wanna be able to rev their engine up against the guy next to them. lol.

 

yeah i don't neutral bomb my tranny (neutral bomb=boom)....lol. i just hate that i can't rev past 4k in N. if it can't be doe or can cause a problem, then nevermind.

 

I think i missed the actuall reason as to why you need to rev your auto in neutral???

plus a few rep for that!

 

Ohh so true.

 

yeah. pretty much. lol

 

like people with manuals dont need a rev limiter????

ever dropped it into 1st at 6000? LOL. ive seen my fair share of manuals break their clutch off the line.

 

yeah, when a car is reving that high under no load at all, there really is nothing keeping the power in check, so the potential for damage is greater.

 

If you wana play, then you gotta pay.... to replace it after you broke it that is....

If I saw someone on the street break while trying that, I would just

 

i've seen it happen 3 times now. first time this guy dropped it from about 5k, second time some ricer put it into gear and his trans fell out the bottom of his car...3rd time some old guy tryin to race dropped it from like 7k into first and just assraped his clutch...sometimes I think manuals need a rev limiter?


the only point of a rev limiter ib ab auto is so you don't neutral drop. I had my limit removed in my equinox, drove it for 40k miles no issues...but then again I never ever neutral dropped LOL

 

I would like a limiter to help launch(I have a manual).

 

you cant hold your rev?

 

You are stupid if you rev it up in N and drop it in gear because you can say to your tranny or axels.

 

if you missed the whole conversation...and didnt read it above ^^...no one is neutral dropping...not even the guys in my thread, they were all manuals

 

^^ oh my bad i thought that is what he was doing in a auto.

 

from my post about the 3 morons? nope, all manuals...which made it so much funnier. thats why i think ALL cars need a rev limiter..but they all need a way to turn it off for people who actually know how to drive.

edit: Seriously..why do manuals need to rev to redline in N???? they dont...

 

so, is there a way to remove it... i like sitting at red lights in N and reving just to show off my exhaust,,,,, that im soon to get haha

 

tune. Vince raised my rev limiter to 7k...im actually going to have him reduce it a little, i dont need it that high..im stock

 

what you rev your stock car up just to hear it , right ! , have fun with that !!

 

its pointless to have it bumped up so you can revv it till it blows..
