Tolgz Member 36 Member For: 21y 3m 20d Posted 26/06/04 11:54 AM Share Posted 26/06/04 11:54 AM Hi,I own a BA XR6 N/A, and the other day I got abit bored sitten at home an thought I make use of the wet weather. I turned onto Syndey Rd, which is a three lane rd. Thought I giv it to it (to reach the speed limit quicker) and while it was revving an screaming its head off, the rev tacho didnt go past 6500rpm's. Mind you it was a case of pedal to the metal. Has anyone else experienced this, either in N/A XR6, turbo or XR8? Can anyone give me some kind of reason why it would cutout at 6500rpm, while there is no indication of a red line on da tacho?

Guest KNIX Guests Posted 26/06/04 02:58 PM Share Posted 26/06/04 02:58 PM I've got a Turbo / Auto and the rev limiter cuts in like clock-work mid 5K (more so when I'm in Manual mode).

justind Member 90 Member For: 22y 1m 3d Location: Melbourne Posted 26/06/04 09:24 PM Share Posted 26/06/04 09:24 PM the rev limiter cut out at approx 5900rpm. As to why it is sometimes less or more than that the only explination I can think of it is linked to the variable cam timing so depending on a host of factors including fuel used this figure may change. I have experienced the rev limiter cutting in at a range of 5700rpm to 6200rpm depending on the day. Not that I make a habit of this kind of driving but I occasionally like to give it a bit of stick.I HAVE A MANUAL.
