GeoffLeggy Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hi, Your rev limit should be just over 7K. Its an electronic function set in the ECU. Does you car have any aftermarket bits? Are you 100% its a limiter your reaching and not something else. Is it consistent in every gear and drives normally up to that point?

Eddie iom Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 hi it's got a panel filter and back box are the only mods I can tell at the minute I've only had it a few months same in every gear car drives good in every other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Do the revs 'bounce' at that point or is it like it just stops dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Something def not right, while you dont need to rev it all teh way to the redline you should easily get it to 6k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggysniffer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Get this checked out asap, could be pulling timing due to detonation, very bad on a hawk !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 My 2003 blob did the exact same thing when i put a cheap short ram intake on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie iom Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 It bounces off like its hit the Rev limit its got plenty off pull upto that point it just catches you out as it gets there so quick it's going for cambelt shortly so will see if they can find anything with thanks for the advice guys if anyone else can think of anything please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie iom Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Just a thought but if someone had put a manual boost control on and locked it in its lowest position would it cause the same issue I'm having with the Rev limit being so low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 the boost control may cause an error but that would cause CEL or limp mode not lower the rev limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
