Is200 Sport Rev Limiter

colbecoz · August 22, 2007

Hi Peeps,

Posted this on the Gold Forum but no answers yet. I don't drive my prize IS200 sport posession hard often, but I notice when I get just on to the red Line (around 7000RPM), I can't push through to get an extra few rev's. It just sticks and I have to change gear. Is there a rev limiter or do I have a problem??

If it hits the rev limiter it should drop a couple of revs and go back up again quickly i.e. bouncing!!

You shouldnt go past the red line anyway though

Ta Rikos. I know it is a bit naughty to try and push it up in to the red line area, but a couple of times I've had a prat accelerate on me when overtaking, and just needed that extra pnch for a few seconds to get past and then pull in. Now I know, I feel easier. Think I'll just let the prat undertake me and pull back in to the "SLOW" lane... Hee Hee. :winky:

I think its actually around 6500RPM that the engine will cut out.Its just a safety feature that most engines do now a days to protect it being over revved. I would not recommend this as i believe what happens is the fuel goes unburned and especially if you have a supercharger once the spark has been restored the unburned fuel in the manifold/exhaust then ignites and can cause the CATs to be damaged

Thanks Rod. Don't have a supercharger or any fancy mod's. Must admit, it gives you a bit of a fright when the engine cuts back, but rather that than blowing the engine or damaging other parts. Guess I'll stick to 50MPH from now on and drive with my pipe and slippers.... Hee Hee. :D
