why, so you can break your car?

you won't make any more power unless you do engine work that makes power above the rev limiter.

you have to mess with fuel pump relays , dont mess with it, only hondas deserve that kind of rice-mod

what relays i NEED to do this because i swapped a 16v into a 8v car

I cant remember too well but people said you can get a fox relay that has a higher limit or else take your relay and put a differenr resistor or something in it, its mathematical, kinda the same way you change the speed at which the spoiler pops up on corrados

TBird, if it's Digi, have the rev limit raised on your shiny new AMS ECU. I believe they'll do custom rev limits. Better get P&P, more fuel, light flywheel, titanium retainers, good valve springs and high lift cam to get anything from it.

great......
Re: how to disable the rev limiter (JettaTournament)

Put a standard Single Pole Single throw relay in place. It's the relay with 4 prongs. This will get rid of your ~6,000 rpm rev limit, and rely on the knock box to do the trick at ~7,200.
Be warned though, your fuel pump will run any time the key is in the on position.
Cheers

Not only that but they stop making power at about 6400 rpms - the added revs don't do anything except stress the components. I set my shift-light at 6200 rpms so that by the time I get around to shifting, I'm at 6400 - the only time I ever take the engine speed higher is when I'm door handle to door handle.
