Removing Rev-Limiter on ECU??

**waveoff** · February 18th, 2001, 09:03 PM

Unfortunately, I don't have either the Shogun or the Fields controller on my car. I met a guy at the street races one time that was using the Fields in his '96 Civic EX to eliminate the limiter. For $200+ dollars I could just get my ECU reprogrammed.

Your best bet is to have your ecu programmed, I had mine done @UPRD they can burn a chip for what ever mods you have and do the rev limiter & speed as well. Although if your whip is SC I wouldn't have them do it for your mods, just to adjust your Rev limit & remove your speed limiter. What kind of car? What's your REV limit know?

97JRSCGS, I have a 89 crx with a little sohc vtec. My rev limiter now is 7500. I'm running a 88-89 Teg ECU. I want to rid of my rev limiter because I'm running a 6al. I will probly redo me orriginal SI ECU. Where you had yours done how much did it cost?

racer4n- I had my ECU done @ UPRD in CA it cost alittle over $300. If your REV is @7500 now. I wouldn't go to much higher. Not sure how much the SOHC can handle. You might want to check into it.

Why would you ever want to remove the rev-limiter? Isn't that "destructive behavior"? biggrin

Seriously, what if you missed a gear? BOOM?! I know a guy here in St. Louis that had his '94 GSR computer modified by some Peter Yen guy in Texas and the rev limiter is removed. This motor is completely stock with a 50 dry shot and he constantly shifts at 10k! He runs low 14's NA and a 13.2 w/ NOS.

Isn't there a risk? Anyone heard of this Peter Yen guy?

No I never heard of Him. I didn't have my Rev-limiter removed, I had It bumped up. Removing it completely is insane, i agree.

My rev limiter is set at 9100 RPMS now. Later on im going to get a soft touch rev limiter from MSD so that i can lower the redline to somewhere that i can be sure that running it to wont grenade the motor smile

You speak of this "soft rev-limiter". Is that what VW has? When you reach the set RPM point, it just holds instead of bouncing? I like that, but how does it work?
