[ellis]

haha ok ill wait and hopefuly they will let me know

[zooky08]

Yes it does but sounds like shit with stock muffler and the motor bogs down when you hit the limiter

[royce]

well derr, the limiter isnt some magic performance boosting awesome section, its designed to STOP THE ENGINE REVVING MORE AND EXPLODING

[zooky08]

I didn't mean it like that I ment. It bogs down way more then one with a exhaust system is What I mean.

i think mine is at like 6500?? maby 6800?? dunno only hit it once on the dunes.. there is no point reving a g13bb that hard they dont make much power up there.

[BlueSuzy]

I set my baleno tacho needle by the limiter to get the redline in the right place

[ellis]

i think its higher then 6500

[zooky08]

M13a is 6900rpm just checked

[ellis]

ok thanks for that

[zukenutter]

I've never revved past redline. I must be a wuss.

I'm sure Bugsta can tell us where the limiter chimes in on a VVT Jimny

[monley]

6900rpm on a VVT jimny i'm 98% sure! I have only hit limiter once on a big dune. That last day Drew had his m13a he held it on limiter for about 5 seconds just to be sure it was 6900

[atari4x4]

what about the vids from the last big trip?

[Gwagensteve]

There's no need to be afraid of the limiter - it's there to protect the motor from damage, not a sign it's about to explode.

On greasy climbs it's not uncommon for us to bounce off the limiter from time to time.

I love the limiter

[ellis]

yes thats why i wanted to know if it had 1 couse when smashing around off road especially in mud couse u dont realise till u look down how hard ur revving it i just wanted to make sure it had 1 so i didnt blow it

[MrRocky]

hitting the limiter is like going to new zealand
its fine to venture there breifly but u dont want to stay for an extended period of time

[swifty_ano]

Do g16b's have one? I have never been over 5000rpm

[Mike57]

I bounced off the rev limiter all the way up a slippery slope yesterday, must have been for a minute or more. Got committed in first low when second probably would have been OK. Stalled out in second on an earlier climb so picked first on this one. Was not travelling very fast but the wheels sure must have been spinning! It worked anyway, I got up there and the engine is still running. I agree with others above that the limiter is there to prevent damage and nothing to be concerned about.

You blokes need to drive a hire car a bit more often

[Drova]

My g16b is about 6300-6400, of a Sierra tacko!
