kool well i ment just get cams for a bit of fun now lol but yes theres a place in burmingham the does engine balancing so hopefully il get it taken up n get mine done iv decided im just going to save bout 5months wages an then just go nutts on it
no i still am goin to just get what a can from it but when modding a car you cant just say yes im getin X amount of ponnys from it so we'l see n alli was sayi previous is 190bhp is a lot
going to be building a mild c16xe for a friend. using std pistons (pocketed by sbd) and arps for the bottom end, were going to be aiming for 170hp (a max of 7500rpm) to hopefully keep a little bit of reliability.
rev limits defo 6500rpm-6800rpm depending on ecu. ive tried many different chips on the x16xe (from x14xe/x16xe/x16xel) and c16xe management. between a few of them the limiter is definitely different.
how can the rev limit possibly have changed? it is not in any way dependant on the engine components fitted, it is governed and controlled by the ecu, if that is stock, so is the rev limit, full stop
your friend is wrong, it is a limit set by the ecu, which takes its referance point from the crankshaft sensor, ask him how his theory works though, i'm up for a laugh
Hahaha, for the most part I agree - however, if it can't reach the limiter in top gear it may rev' higher (go faster) - still limited to the limiter, of course.
From some of the horror stories I hear about some dealer mechanics, I have little doubt one did actually say that.
apparently notlmao in the olden days, when you had no rev limiter apart form the centrifugal weights in the distributor, then you could fit a freer flowing inlet and the engine would rev higher, but with an electronic rev limiter, it just does not work that way, at all, ever
just wanted to back lee up. no way in hell can you change the limiter by playing with stuff on the engine, only the ecu controls the limiter. What your friend might of been saying is it will rev faster but its does not rev higher.
their is soo many dodge mechanics these days as i've worked in a few work shops, i now don't trust anyone untill i see their work or them working.
