my safc was reading 900idle and stock revcounter 1k i would beleive the safc as its the most thing reading near the ecu and 99.9% would be more acurate.
as for rev limiterthere where times that mine kicked in at 7200 and also at 7500
sometimes also if its reving fast, you change gear and revs keep going a bit to 7800 or so.. but again probably its the stock rev counter givving false readings

good 2 know but who would b hitting the limiter on a turbo charged car when full boost is met at lower revs..

but you dont change gear the second it reaches full boost!
ah ya but u dont want 2 b hitting the limiter all the time either.. pointless and asking for trouble. especially with ep91's..

aie? I dont really agree with that one. It all depends when your power starts tailing off not when you hit full boost.

Little shits? i hope your not referring to myself with that comment or maybe you might want to re-word that as it could offend others.
When i was running my td04 hybrid with it hitting full boost at around 4.2k revs and boost tailing off quite late in second and third gear i felt i had to go to around 7.5k rpm to sometimes 8k rpm before changing gear as the power wasnt tailing off until around that point.

1; you dont change gears when you get full boost lol
2; what about if you have a bigger turbo then the stock gay one?

But we're not talking about sitting in neutral and limiting the car, i agree that's just stupid!
When i say i seen over 7500rpm on my avc-r that was in third gear and that was all of once in the 3years i have the car!
But 7500rpm limit is for ghey's, 8000's where its at! Lol

If you sit there bouncing off the limiter for longer then you should then yeah, you need to learn to drive. I bounce of the limiter sometimes with my EK9 reason being the power shown on my graph continues to rise until it hits the limiter so get the most out of the car without hitting the limiter can sometimes be a task. Im pretty good now but at first was a nightmare.
My starlet hits the limiter 1st and 2nd as soon as you put your foot down, even 3rd with bad tires...... Am i a little shit?
