Im confused. does my car have one? iv felt something that kinda feels like a rev limiter but i dont wanna go out and just slam on the gas and find out the hard way. so i guess the question is did they have a rev limiter on the 94 f bodies?

 

yes stock is like 5800 i think.. thats where mines at

 

5750 rpm's

 

Hes Right Thats Why When U Get A Tune They Ask U What U Want The Rev To Be At, And U Set Ur Shift Light A Couple 100 Rpms Before That Way U Have A Margain To Play With!

 

I've run my car to 6200 before, only three times, two of which were a missed shift, and to my knowledge, the car has had no tune, and I know that the tach is accurate at idle at least. The first time I missed a gear was at the track, heard it bounce, but have no idea what rpm it was.

 

did '01 A4 SS's have rev limiters? I'm trying something new at the track soon, and i'd like to NOT find out the hard way. Thanks guys!

Sorry if I jacked your post ElkySS...

 

stock tacs are never correct mine off by 250. sure it should if stock rev it up and it it dosnt stop by redline then you know

 

letsrun, urs is a 97 which is obd2 o know for a fact they have rev limiters but mine is a 94 obd1 idk if obd1 had the capacity for rev limitation or not

 

and when i got my car tuned it says they set the rev limiter to 6k but i just went over 6k after applying it

 

I wouldn't believe the factory tach. I would only use it for a reference. If you want accurate shifts get a shift light or aftermarket tach.

 

Yes they do have them. And the tach is way off up that high. Mine is set to 6k also and it shows 6300-6400 when it hits the limiter.

 

lol it dosnt have a rev limiter when you do a downshift from 6th to 2nd doing 70 lol if it hasnt happend it will adventually

 

last I knew all EFI cars and trucks have a rev limiter, I know my 1988 mazda has one cause I tagged it once, and it is "Pre OBD" , you just have to be careful when hitting the limiter on a motor that has push rods in it cause you can bend (or brake them when hitting the limiter really hard) that is why cam swaps usually need a tune, espally if the power band goes alot higher than stock, but most guys do it with any project that rquires a PCM tune
