In all seriousness, it's there to protect your engine. As Dan says, you need a lot of uprated parts before you can raise the rev limit. The mapping also wouldn't cater for higher engine speeds, so even if it stayed in one piece you wouldn't get any more power.

MY car rpm only goes up to 8000 max.2005 roadster with uprev,hfcs,milltek,plenum spacer and pop charger.

No, it doesn't. The rev counter might, but the engine doesn't.

Interesting my friend,need more info on this lads.

 

cheers :thumbs:

How much info do you want?! :lol:

 

Your car will not do more than 6500 rpm safely. You cannot EVER do more than that without major engine work. Just because the speedo says 180mph, doesn't mean your car can do that either ;)

Everyone to their own, but I noticed the difference, and I'd recommend it too, you're in safe hands with Abbey MS (Years of experience )

but I wouldn't recommend down-shifting at 7000rpm though- you might break something! ;)

You noticed the difference from the Uprev, but no way in hell you noticed the extra 100rpm. Go sit in your car, and rev the engine to 1000rpm and hold. Now do it at 1100rpm. It's incredibly hard to do, as it's such a minute difference. Another 500revs you'd notice, but another 100? Sorry, but I can't see it.

I don't wear underwear when I'm on a track day to avoid unnecessary weight. I can feel the difference it makes.

Sell your car and get an HR model, 7500rpm limit on them! :)

 

Nah, I think the removal of the rev limiter on the DE sounds more fun :stir:

 

complete removal would be amazing!

 

Hey look, his piston hit the moon:

Red hot curry the night before to provoke a full "expulsion" of excess weight FTW!
