lol.

have not filmed yet cause it's hard to keep the engine idling while filming the sound at the same time.

i will try again, tonight.

[NextLevel]

here it is fellas:

Engine at idle. Foot on gas to keep the car from stalling. (note there is a loud knock that happens in the clip also)



This is the sound of the exhaust. Foot on gas to keep the car from stalling. (note there is a loud click/knock sound as well)

Sounds like an old Ford we used to have when I was at my last job

[Astron_Boy]

Photofucket.

Well, I'm not listening to it then.

Still trying to get the hang of this new weird thing called "the internet" are you pops?

[Astron_Boy]

No, just my dislike of bloatware.

Seriously, who makes a site consisting of so much sh*t.
Apart from Zuckerberg.

(I digress, off topic.)

That sounds like its running on 3 cylinders, check your coilpacks, leads.

Also is your map sensor plugged in?

[Bennoz]

All of the above ^^^

Check all electrical plugs.

Have you done any work on it recently?

7,500-8000rpm on 1st and 2nd gears. Pointless to hit MIVEC on the remaining gears.

I agree, I have never hit 8000-8750rpm in any of my gears.

Mivec in 4th is a beautiful thing

Redline is 8250......

[Daniel2019]

I didn't used to like taking mine past 8k. Generally hit the shift up on tip at about 7,700/7,800 and it would shift pretty much on 8k.

[Taz]

half the fun is playing the game - how close can u shift before it red-lines?

Not in mine, I have no rev limiter, at 8900 my engine "drops off the edge" so to say.
I have pushed it to find the "edge", thats why I shift when my LEDs all flash at 8000.

[Daniel2019]

Ummm... I know you're the infinitely better mechanic and all Phil, but wouldn't there be a limiter at 8,250 for a reason?

[Vectose]

Hence why he doesn't shift past 8k.

[Daniel2019]

I was thinking more along the lines of why would it be de-limited in the first place

[PHIL069]

Ummm... I know you're the infinitely better mechanic and all Phil, but wouldn't there be a limiter at 8,250 for a reason?

Couriosity got the better of me, I just had to know where the "edge" was as I don't have a limiter.
I do have a cold engine limiter at 4000, but no full engine limiter.
I change when my lights tell me too which is at about 8250-8500 by the time I react to the 8000rpm flashes.

[Vectose]

Normal cold limiter is at 6k.
