I was wondering if there is a way to take the rev limiter off. And if so will it have more horsepower. Or will it burn out the engine.

 

From what i know/heard rx7s don't have Rev Limiters but instead a buzzer to warn about the red line.

 

4000, 5000, 600BUUUZZZZ0, 7BUZZZZZZZ0, 8BUUZZZZ0

.... :p

don't blow up your motor.


The buzzer comes on between 6,500 and 7,000rpm, redline is drawn at 7,000rpm, with a stock intake and exhaust system your power will fall off at about 6,500rpm, with new parts it'll pull harder, it's rumoured that the stock apex seals will go buh-bye at or above 8,500rpm...

 

hey is 680bBUUUZZZ0, not 600BUUUZZZ0

 

The only rev limiter is your imagination on a carb'd 12a I've decided. One time the throtle stuck to the floor under the floor mat at full throttle and I didn't know it, then when I shifted out of first it rev'd well past 8K before I could figure out what to do-I shut it off QUICK. Anyway, I took my over rev buzzer out. I hated that thing on my mildport! It was on the whole time. It would of been even worse with the bridgeport now!

 

Ha, my car's rev buzzer never worked since i bought it outta a junkyard... good thing too, im sure it would just annoy the hell outta me.

 

that's why there are to 00s infront of the buzz, almost all the way thru 6

 

it's rumoured that the stock apex seals will go buh-bye at or above 8,500rpm...


My 85 had a problem with the gas peddle stickin....it would go past 8 w/ np. It did eventualy die though

 

I think the rev buzzer's cool... always scares the **** out of people the first time they ride in my car. Does get a bit annoying though escpecially when your car happens to make good power up to 8500rpm.
