Rev Limiters??? Now with pics!

[tonytony]

very deceptive indeed, placebo effect rules all. My father once gave his friend 5 "OJ and vodkas" with no vodka and the guy passed out in the snow.

anyway, my tach on the 325i ends around 7k. If he were to rev his eta up to redline (unless it had the limit edited or removed) it still wouldn't hit 7 on the I tach. Whatever.

Mark,

My name is Don and I'm from the make a wish foundation. One of the children I work with has only one final request, and that's for you to describe or take a picture of your motor. It's a small request, and it would mean a lot to him if you could do it.

Thanks,

Don

I call BS on the vodka oj, what kinda moron has taste buds so bad that he didn't realize it taste like OJ hahaha :roll:

Looks like a normal Eta engine to me.

Looks like a 4500 rpm'er to me.

[finch]

and how can you tell..?

[RedBaron86325]

The intake manifold has narrow, long runners. Small diagnostic connector. Eta idle control valve. Eta valve cover. Eta fuel lines running above the exhaust manifold. Two temp switches on the radiator. That is just a few obvious signs.

Don't sweat me, man! I was just hasslin' ya!

[clutterbucker]

is that an M30 afm?

[Fred]

is that an M30 afm?

Doesn't look like it, M30's are "reversed" and have the checkerboard pattern on top.

Thanks all for the replies! when i find out more about the enigne and all its components i will let you all know, at 100KPH what should an eta be revving at??? cause now im totally confused at what revs im really at??? Keep up the good work with the site!!

Cheers Mark dv

[clutterbucker]

I dont know where an eta would be revving, but I can tell you that a stock post-'88 325i would be revving around 2200rpms.
