HMM... When does YOUR rev buzzer come on? Way to set it or is tach off?
When it the buzzer supposed to come on in a S5 N/A? I have always heard everyone say around 7800RPMs but mine waits until 8200 (YES, I am still making power up there with my mods) 
!
Is mine misadjusted or is my tach off? Is there a way to adjust it back to 7800 or what?
TIA for replies

Dre, I'm not sure exactly how the buzzer is triggered, but it could be independant of the actual needle driver. It may be that your tach reads a little high, but the buzzer is acurate. You'd need to get an instrument repairer to have a look at it.

hehe... I would just like to know if the rev buzzer is independant of the tachometer and which one is more accurate.
If the buzzer is accurate at 7800 RPMs that means I coulda been going faster this whole time!!

C'mon someone has to know! PLEAAASE.
I am going through the FSM looking for the rev buzzer and tach circuits.
I gotta know which is more accurate. I'd hate to think that i've been shifting like 500 RPMs too early at races!

When you hit redline on the TII, the clutch goes into "limp mode" until the revs shoot down.

I don't know dre...but i do know that one way to find out if your tack is off, is by going out and buying a shift light, with some 8k rpms shift pills. Thats what i did. Mine is about 300 rpms off or so, way up top. It reads higher than the motor is actually spinning. The dyno verified it too. CJ

Ok my buzzer comes on at about 7000 rpms. I usually shift then. Are you saying that I could rev it to 7800 or 7500 safely every time I race? I know I sound stupid, but I'm always afraid of the red zone. Don't want the engine to blow or anything catastrophic like that.

You will still need to find a more accurate rpm reading device to set it too.

I love going past redline. It just keeps going faster (ever since I fixed my 6 ports).
My buzzer goes off at 6800, and is nice to have so I don't have to look down.
There is a plug on the leading coil pack you can plug a tach into. Compare that reading with you analog tach. Seems to me the buzzer would be tied into the ECU.

That grannyspeedshop site had nothing on setting the overrev buzzer... 
But their tach re-cal section said there was a contact on the tach that goes to the overrev buzzer... almost as if they work together and not idependantly
