Hey all again...

got a question....

Do the S/C cars have an "in gear" rev limiter...

when i do a holeshot in sport mode and the car is broiling the tires, the car is a bit of a handfull so i cant quite get a good look at the tach, and it seems a though i hear, and or feel a rev limiter, but i cant tell for sure... the tach is really too small to get a good look at to see what the rpm's are at... when all the mayhem is going on.. LOL

this is a first and second gear shifting situation where i am hanging out in second during the burnout....at high rpm's...basically with the trottle pinned to the mat...

TIA for any info... Gerry

 

yes there is a rev limiter

 

Rock, Do you know what it is set at ?

Thanks

The limiter is an ignition interupt that makes the engine stutter and keep it from over reving...

the "limit"s programed in the ECU...

 

I had just a link - it's not my question

 

AH..Duh... LOL

Its late and i'm tired.

 

The rev-limit is set at 6200rpm on the s/c cars.

You may be interested to know that the s/c cars did not have an uprated & strengthened diff-it's the same unit as in the 4L normally-aspirated cars.

The diff does not have a large safety margin when fitted to the s/c cars, so constant hard use runs the risk of bearing wear or teeth shearing on the pinion-the greatest stress happens during full-bore getaways in 1st gear & there have been cases of diff failure in a few s/c cars...

 

I will test strenght of stock diff soon with Quaife LSD + tight torque converter + soft drag radials.

 

Where did you gewt the drag radials from?

That is one of my next purchases on the list...

Cause my car inhialates the street tires
