Subarutex Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 rev limiter? perhaps you are thinking of the fuel cut... Is it a hard jolt? Or is it actually limiting the revs? Is it an automatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxrallye Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 fuel cell in boot, larger injectors, fuel surge tank for which there is a direct line to each injector, speed cutout has been removed, but it hit's a rev limiter at around 6500. it's an ea82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hmm... I never knew that our cars had a rev limiter. I'd like to know some more information on how you have the fuel set up. Maybe a picture or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 as far as I know they dont have rev limiters.. they just won't rev much high then that.. My carbbed EA82 stops reving at 7 grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 my t-wagon went to about 7500 according to the digidash in neutral, but couldn't get it past 7000 under acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxrallye Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 5 speed manual. wonder if anyone has done work on an ecu for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 what year is it? My GL-10 seems to rev limit at 6500. Its an 86. Where as my 89 RX will rev with nothing to stop it, except for something scattering in the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 John... I too have been following the Megasquirt project. What are your thoughts on it applying to our engines? I seem to recall seeing someones sig a while ago that said they had a Megasquirt on an EA81T... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Yeah, someone does. And there is a website about it, either the EA81T or the megasquirt. But i know there was one about the megasquirt ecu setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Originally posted by WJM what year is it? My GL-10 seems to rev limit at 6500. Its an 86. Where as my 89 RX will rev with nothing to stop it, except for something scattering in the engine. Yea, what WJM said about his 89 RX. My '89 GL Sedan w/DR 5 speed and my '87 GL FWD 5 speed will both rev to 7300 RPM and both run clean and smooth @ those revs. My '88 GL 4WD w/3 AT goes to only 5500 to 5900 RPM. This one I suspect it has some form of rev limiter, fuel cut-out, or what not. The '88 GL will rev to 7300 just fine w/o a load on it. All of those tugs of the throttle happened with Sunoco Ultra in the fuel tanks, btw. I have taken into consideration that the factory tachometers could be off. I've only been working with EA-82 cars for about 6 months and I've never bothered to stick a timing light or tach on one, too busy 'wheeling them! After a tear-down and inspection of an '86 EA-82T I can understand why they *could* actually turn 7500 RPM. Not that they're going to make lots of power @ 7500 with the cams they're stuffed with. I just thought that mabie the 5500 to 5900 RPM with the '88 w/AT *might* be an AT thing. No?:eh: Quidam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 back in the stock AT days of the GL-10, it wouldnt got past 6400. Still wont go past 6500, even with no load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
