Revs

[ChinoCharles]

Question I've had for a long time... look at chaikrab's tach.

6690

Do overseas Yarii actually rev to 8 grand or is there just 1500 RPM's of wasted tach? I've never seen a car top out right at redline.

[kurokoma-kun]

Isn't the redline at 6.5?

[slvryaris]

I think my sedan buries at 8 grand. What about the liftbacks??? I also

thought 8 grand was unusual.

[steved]

My LB is at 8 also, but I believe it is more for looks then anything else.

As kurokoma-kun it redlines at 6.5.

[eTiMaGo]

never tried going over the redline, but I think it can...

[kurokoma-kun]

Try it! the rev limiter kicks in to save you from yourself :laugh:

[REM]

Don't all cars have a red line and then go past it on the tach? I know my last car went 1-2,000 RPM past the redline, and like kurokoma-kun said it wouldn't let me go over it.

Every car has 1500 to 2000 past redline on the tach, it looks cooler! There should be something called a rev limiter a few hundred after 6500 to stop you from dropping valves.

I think Chino was saying that its weird how they stopped at 8 grand but the line continues so it looks like it goes to like 9 grand.

[ChinoCharles]

What I was saying was that on any other manual car I've driven with a tach the revs didn't stop at redline. For example, my old Eclipse I believe redlined at 6,000 RPM and TOPPED OUT at 7,000. What the hell is with the Yaris redlining and limiting out at 6500 RPM?

[slvryaris]

hmmmmm......

[ChinoCharles]

... and the major question... can the 1NZ handle 8,000 RPM? Is the reason for the low revs due to engineering or an FE-geared setup?

Manual, automatic, that's how it's worked in every car I've driven with a tach. What's the point of showing the extra 1500 RPM if you can't use it?

You can if you remove rev limiter.

[slvryaris]

Has anyone seen the you tube videos of people showing off their exhaust and they just peg the needle and keep it there for a sec???

[kurokoma-kun]

I wasn't gonna mention it--no doubt CC is out there attempting it now :wink:

[naossoan]

Um, yea mine is the same I'm in Canada.

Look at the speedo, it does the same thing. You think a stock Yaris is gonna go 200K? I'm not so sure about that.
