Adjusting rev limiter

[Joshmmc]

I've got a 94 LS and I want to lower the rev limiter on my car. I don't care whether the limiter cuts the ignition or the fuel, I just want it to engage at like 6500 RPM instead of like 7200 or wherever it does. Is there something innexpencive I can buy or do to my ECU to make this possible? I really just want whatever the least costly way is to do it.

Thanks

Why are you lowering the limiter op? Just wondering

[Joshmmc]

Trying to take it easy on my engine because I drive it in the high end a lot and feel like bouncing it off the current rev limiter is too abusive. I smell something every time I rev past 6500. I just want my engine to live a little while. I know people say that you can let it bounce off the stock limiter all day, but I've got a bit of leak on one cylinder and I'd just feel better all around if it were set lower.

Take it easy and learn self control. Why spend money >_<

[Joshmmc]

It's not about self control, I'm not some idiot who just shifts my car at the redline for every shift on my way to work. When I drive aggressively, I feel like I'm wearing excessively on my engine. Obviously I could just be really careful not to let it rev past the point I don't want it to, but then I'd have to be more mindful and I'd have less fun. Plus I know that I'll obviously mess up sometimes.

That sounds like self control...& driver's skill.

i can foresee your signature changing to " 94 integra rebuilding motor because i abused it often. 91 civic hatchblack- currently replacing blown ZC with a new one"


i'm sorry but if you feel you are going to break your car driving it hard, then DONT. it's not that hard

i think you should just leave it, but thats pretty high tho ha,
my rev limiter is like 5500 ha

[Joshmmc]

Can't ask a simple question and get an answer. I'm not a professional driver, I enjoy driving my car spiritedly, just like most of you, however, I want to take it as easy on the engine as possible while still having fun. My solution is to lower the limiter, I just want to know how. Yes, I get it, I'm a s***ty driver because I can't shift at the precise RPM I want to, 100% of the time, so I'd rather adjust the limiter.

lol i know what you mean, if i knew, i woulda told you already haha

msd would most likely have something youre looking for.

[Joshmmc]

I've looked into it. They all seem like they're for small block Fords and Chevys.

[ixcocoyxi]

if anything, the bee*R rev limit would be your best bet then. im looking to get that myself.

[Joshmmc]

The Bee*R is so badass. A buddy of mine had one on his Skyline. You can adjust it any time on the go at the twist of a knob, and it's a full on ignition cutoff, so if you don't have a cat, you toss a flame each time you hit your limit. Only problem is that they're crazy expensive.
