mschmalzsr Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 When I was at the track, I hit something that stopped my rpm's. It seemed like a rev limitor, but my dealer did not know anything about it having one. Does someone know what is was and when does it happen? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read your manual. 6250 is the stock limit and the symptom will be off/on/off/on... of fuel. You also have a speed limiter of 155. Both can be removed with a tune.

Thank you I am thankfull it does have the rev limiter, because with the TVS under my hood, the RPM's peg so extremely fast, if you are not quick in shifting, the limiter will save your engine !

SPRSNK Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Sounds like you need a retune to 6500rpm at least! Does anyone have the rev limiter set to higher than 6500? Btw: you can change the rev limiter without retuning the car. Directions are in the owners manual and can be set in increments of 100rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw: you can change the rev limiter without retuning the car. Directions are in the owners manual and can be set in increments of 100rpm. I believe all of the Evo tunes set it to 6600. Correct me if I'm wrong - the only thing you can change with the stock tune is the warning tone and light. You can't change the rev limiter itself.

I think your thinking about the SVT SHIFT LIGHT INDICATOR, you can not change the factory REV Limiter w/o a tuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Doctor Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 What concerns me is that his dealership doesn't know the car has a rev limiter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shack Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 HAHA I was just thinking the same thing. Sheesh. Same here - you'd think they would have had to take a class to work on a GT500. oh wait....they did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer where I bought mine has sold a grand total of one GT500. Yes, it does bother me that when I take it in for anything, I have to school them on the car.
