Euros got rev limiter, which means that you can not rev pass certain rpm whether you are driving or idling. As far as i remember from past threads, i think the euro limits the rev to 6500 or 7000 rpm when you're driving, and 4500 or 5000 rpm when you are idle
Yep, rev limiter. GT4 Style :D
Rev limiter at Stationary is - 4500RPM
Rev Limit while car is in motion is - 7400RPM
Question Answered.. :)
25yko, I will close this thread when you acknowledge and have nothing else to ask :)
CHEERS
Yep - it seems to rev cut between 7300 and 7550. I was a bit surprised the first time I saw the RSM show 7550 as the peak revs reached (and no - I wasn't downshifting - upshifting). I rarely hit the cut - but on the odd occassion the revs rise faster than I expect and I am caught out :rolleyes:Quote:

As far as I know nearly all EFI cars built in the 90's and beyond have a rev limiter. The euro is the first I've heard of in having a limiter that's lower when in neutral.
I like the feature in the new M3 BMW. The redline changes according to engine temperature. When you start the engine the redline is 4000rpm and as the engine heats up it slowly climbs to 7800rpm or there abouts.
I totally agree, threads around this place are closed waaaay to quickly.Quote:

Speaking of new threads.............we might have to start a new thread on thread closures!
well said we could also talk about thread movements
