urbandork reminded me of a question ive been meaning to ask everybody. Ive seen a vid of someone while they were driving, and their needle was reading at about 8 or 9k whenit red lined, and i remember someone making a comment saying that theirs redlines at 9k.
im only getting about 6500 rpms when i hit the rev limiter is there something i should know? when i got my tranny rebiult, the guy said that it felt like i still had some power left and 6.5 seemed kinda early, i feel the same way what can be done? --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money.

your redline is ~7grand
8 grand would take some head work, 9 grand would take a **** load of work |

it depends on what work was done to the motor.
normally on a 3s, the redline is at 7000 but the rev limiter should kick in around 7300 or so. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

USELESS THREADS ZOMGZ
tuffy might be able to get some rpm outta his motor but he'd be the only one i would think MIGHT be able to do it on this site... go to MR2oc and read about it there is some good reading on the upper RPM... i've been reading on it a lot cause i'm looking for a 8.5k limit |

I'll betcha that the rev limiter is lower in the 4th gen because the ECU is for an automatic, since the Caldina came with a 6-speed AWD auto tranny. Most of Toyota's auto ECUs have a lower rev limit than the manuals.
Perhaps with an eManage Ultimate we could raise the redline a little, I'm sure with that CT20b there's more left up top to gain  -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

God damn.. imagine if they would've done a 6psd manual awd 3sgte trans too... that would probably actually be swappable into a celica w/o much trouble.. not to mention the 4th gen 3sgte too... sometimes toyota makes me cry. -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer.

Actually, my understanding is that the Caldina ONLY came in automatic, and I know for certain that your ECU is an auto because I wired in four resistors to fool the ECU into thinking the auto tranny is still there, which is why you don't get a CEL
