How high is the stock Rev Limiter

[sMARTINside]

Hi, I am from Canada and own a Toyota Tercel with a 1998 Glanza V engine in it. I also have the Glanza V gauge cluster installed, so the readings really correspond to the engine signals. Since I had the engine installed (since March), the rev limit of the engine (controlled by the stock ECU) was 7200 rpm. Perhaps, since a couple of days, it has gone to 7600 rpm. It just moved to 7600 without any signs, like if I had passed a point where the computer unlocked a couple rpms... Strange

I would like to know where is yours, Glanza V owners, and could it be harmful to shift at 7500 rpm often on the 4E-FTE. I know that one problem is the valve pushing discs get spat at very high rpm, but I need to know if 7600 rpm is enough to do that and kill my engine, or is it in the 8000 rpm bracket?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

I shift mine at 7500 so that sounds good. I think on my car the limiter is taken is off because I know once I saw 8k. But the car has a piggyback chip so it probably taken off.

Glanza is 7500rpm, GT Turbo is 7200rpm. The rev limiter doesn't mean you can't past it by a few rpms, it just means that if you sit on it you won't make any more power and screw up the engine as the ECU cuts the ignition timing.

My GT limits at 7200, but there's fuck all power after 6.5k anyway, so it's pointless redlining it.

spot on. if you go past 7k you can actually feel the power/torque drop off

Well, I don't know if it has anything to do with the different turbine (CT-9B) that the Glanza V's engine has, but I can't actually feel the engine drop in power, I feel it still torques the same about as at 6500 revolutions, up to 7600... Do the EP91 have more top end torque?

I am happy to see that my engine control is completely normal, but, I still don't know the reason why it was cutting the power at 7200 before and all of a sudden, maybe a little progressively (2 weeks), the rev limiter moved up to 7600 rpm... That is strange!

Anyway, cheers to you all, to help me get information on cars we can't get here, in our country!:rockon:

Yes the EP91 has more top end power. I suspect the the ECU was adjusting to your lower octane fuel. JDM is 102RON

That's cool, I was lucky to get an EP91 engine for my swap! And the ECU adjusting to get the right timing and everything would have taken about six months. That seems a little long for it to adjust to the 91-94 RON I have here. Anyway, that is logic!
