LIMITER. limitator is not a word

Venkat

Is it possible that my ecu may have lowered my rev limiter due to the great amount of stress that i was constantly putting on my engine while drifting?
Also can i seriously easily screw up my rear end and tranny by it? I know drifting is pretty stupid but its still pretty fun [IMG][/IMG]

it's pathetic that all you guys want to bash him for doing something that he likes. he came on here to ask why the car is doing something not get your opinions on what you think of drifting.



for Venkat
there is a program in the ECU to keep you from blowing the engine from excessive revving. but, the 3.8 in stock form is what i like to call indestructible. the stock rev limiter is well below the destruction point in RPMs. i think it is 5600 or around there. you could easily turn 6500 and still be good.

No the ecu will not trip out like that, bad sensor or broken part. YES you can easily blow out your rean end, tranny, or even fry your piston rings if you over do it.

I was always under the impression that the limiter is lowered in neutral compared to in drive.

Somtimes it is, sometimes it isn't, depends on the manufacturer, and the car. Sorry, it's been so long I can't remember what Fords settings are.

deezelnut

that was so fast and furious you deserve a donkey punch.




















i'm not joking.

it is, my car free revs to 4k when i manually shift, its 5800, and i know single ports are to 5300

I know in my 5 speed 99 not rolling it limits out at 4k..but rolling is like around 5600

So you're saying it's dead impossible to fry your piston rings if your "CONSTANTLY" doing stupid things. Well hell, if that's true, I'm gonna go out right now and run 150+ mph, my tires, tranny, engine, rear end should take it.
