Does anyone know how to remove the rev limiter on the 07 TLS? I believe it revs to about 4900 rpm and doesn't go higher. I want it to go to at least 7000 or 8000 rpm. Do you think I have to take it to Acura to do this or can I do it myself?

 

I thought the redline was 6,800rpm on our 3G Type-S's? Maybe it's different for how it shifts between a 6MT and 5AT? If you're talking about just revving the engine when you are at a standstill, having the e-brake engaged will limit the revs, but I think even that limit is around 5,500rpm.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your question dr_brains510?

 

what I meant was when the car is in park, you can rev up to only4900 rpm and it won't go any higher right? So how do I remove that so it can go all the way to about 7000 rpm for example.

 

Why do you want to rev that high while in park?

 

nuetral drop? but i think you would have to get some engine management in order to control your rev limiter amongst other things, or go to acura and pay the same amount of money for a reprogram and loss of your warranty.

 

he has to attract the beezys with the high rev'n! duhh.

 

i heard that you'd had to get the ecu reprogrammed...didn't know the warranty was going to get voided

 

its limited for a reason, ITS BAD FOR YOUR CAR!

 

Can you explain why you want to do this?

 

.....lol yeah man..thats what pretty much controls your whole car..haha

 

i was just curious b/c when I had my is300 there was no rev limiter and my friend has a g35 and his goes all the way to redline w/o a limiter and just thought i could do it w/ my car.

 

so what cars that don't have a rev limiter are bad? i don't think so.

 

You must have a good reason but is it worth voiding the warranty on your (almost) brand new car?
I believe the ECU is programmed to limit the revs.

 

good lucking doing anything on the 3G TL ECU's... its harder to crack into then the F.A.A. nobodys really gotten anywhere yet, but we are getting closer

hell, dont you live in CA... go take a ride to hondata or church automotive...

 

I like the 5k rpms limiter... makes people think your car revs so quick it gets to redline fast... lol nissan guys always are shocked... like vroom fuel cut off and they're like wow

if I bang rev.limit/redline I backfire... so you already know

 

Revving that high without any load on the engine seems like a bad idea to me.

 

i cant believe i read this post....what a complete waist of time...

 

Still lacking to see the purpose

 

Its healthy to bend valves once in a while....

 

One of the dumber requests I've seen in a while.

Why do people think they know what's OK for their cars better than the engineers who designed them? This makes no sense.

 

lol ive been holding back for days on this thread. i wanna make someone cry LMAO!

 

I'm not saying that I know what is better for my car than the engineers do. All I was asking is if it was possible. That doesnt mean that it is bad for the car. Maybe if u do it continously then that would not make any sense. When I had my is300, it would rev up to 7k in park mode. Now I didn't get it there every time I sat in the car. So that was the whole question I was asking. I just wanted to know if you could do it. By the way, it is not bad for the car if you do it occasionally. So don't tell me it is.

 

me 2

 

Don't forget to wax ur car also

 

one word to describe this thread .... WOW !!!

LOL funny stuff

 

please tell us you are joking.. why in the world would you even want to hit the rev limiter at all... Why do you feel the need to impress people? And reving in netral is something that any car can do... it doesnt make you stand out at all. Grow up man.

 

Would Someone Please Close This Down!!!!!?

 

Hell I took my rev limiter off last night. 2 10mm bolts and about 15 mins of time. Now I can REVVVVV It UPPP UPP and AWAY!!! YEAH!!!

 

As long as you bend them back when your done...

 

I drop off my rev limiter at home every night, after no problems getting it to 8k!!!

 

Thats an excellent idea! Why dont you do that and I will sit here and watch!




Dude....you typically dont want to sit there and redline in park or neutral without a load on the engine. Many bad things can happen.

You dont want to do that at this point anyway, otherwise you are going to have to hang around here looking like this!

 

What exactly can happen if you are redlining in park. Just wondering I don't believe in killing my cars that way, at least not at a stand still. I just noticed that today when I was working on my car. I guess I never noticed because there would be no reason to rev that high in neutral or park.

 

What about revving in N? Is it the same limit as in park?

 

You beat me to it. I was gonna say "I'll tell you how to remove the limit only if I can watch what your going to do afterward."

Maybe it's old school but I've never thought anything good could come from reving with no load. Either that or having to pay for the dumbf_ck mistakes I made when I was in my young 20s smartened me up. (was that to subtle?)

 

I dont think so, i tried this on my previous 6MT without giving much thought to the
life on the engine and it revved all the way to the redline. Or you could easily drop to neutral while driving and floor it to see if it is true.Guys hold off all the rude comments, i have been enlightened enough in these few months that revving the engine pointlessly is Stupid.

Will anybody confirm ?

 

It's not that bad cars don't have rev limiters, it's just that removing it is bad for your car.

Imagine if you're at the drag strip, and you have a 6MT. You're in 2nd gear, and almost at redline. Then you shift, but miss, and hit 1st. Revs go wayyyyyyy high, much too high for the car to handle and bam.

 

The 6MT will rev all the way in Neutral.
I was stupid enough some months ago to actually like doing that. I actually used it instead of the horn .Uh, what a difference being 17 makes !
I stopped when i found out it wasnt exactly good for the engine and one of my passengers told me i was being a Jerk.

 

Yeah one guy here hit 2nd instead of 4th and boom. Once you know the car well the odds of that seem low to me. The automatic is very mistake proof and so it should be. I would love to have a six speed they are still more fun to drive as far as I'm concerned.

 

 

I'm not going to say much. Straight to the point, yes it is bad for you to redline while you're parking. I rev when I enter parking sparks, but nothing over 4k. Just gotta make a good entrance =D
