Red line/rev limiter

[CarsSuck]

the first (and only) time i drove an eta, i was bouncing the rev limiter on every shift.

[MikeE30325i]

I think i have gotten my eta to around 125-130 mph.

and i let the needle go until it passes the end of the tach and enters the mileage indicator. rarely do i hit the r3v limiter, but sometimes i let it bounce.

haha, i spun a rod bearing.... (im, well was, jc chipped)
good excuse for me to do a m30 swap!

hehehehe, thats sucks but it gave me a laugh.

i spoke 2 soon snapped rocker for me.

My 89 would cut out at 130 without a chip.

[Mystikal]

1990 and 1991 were limited to 125. A chip is suppose to delete the top speed limiter. In my 1991 325i there is OBVIOUSLY a fuel cutoff at 125mph. Revlimit is at 6450rpm.

Not all.

I have seen over 140mph, bone stock. Repeatedly.

Oh, and to the original poster, the stock limiter is 6400rpm.

why rev up that far when the engine leans out and you loose power that high. plus if you keep doing that you will probably spin a bearing.

My car runs out of power at about 144-145...so it seems that the chip does remove fuel cutoff.

Just besafe "testing" your chips and whatnot.

What kind of mods do you have?

[Rennsport]

thats what i figured, thanks guys.
for the record there i am certain that there is a feul cut off. I hit it about 4 times last week.
its just hard not to when big long open roads in tri-cities are calling your name. lol

[Digitalwave]

You haven't had any because your engine isn't even running yet!

[e30 gangsta]

I haven't had any problems :)
