this is an easy question

can anyone tell me where the redline starts on a 95 GS? is it 6500 or 7k?

i have reverse indiglo gauges that have different redline so i forgot lol hehe

Everyone says that the limit is set by the ECU at 7,200. But for some reason, I have hit 7,300. When I got my car dynoed, it went all the way to 7300, and thats where the needle stops on my tach. But it is in that general area.

Wait......do you mean where it starts on the stock gauges? I'll go look in a minute......

The redline starts on 7000rpm if you have a manual transmission or 6500rpm if you have an automatic.

>The redline starts on 7000rpm if you have a manual
>transmission or 6500rpm if you have an automatic.

^^^ not true i have taken my auto up to 7k before, but i did shatter the front diff doing it

He said where the redline STARTS at...Meaning where the gauge is literally red in color. Like the 5 speed redline is 7000 but the rev limiter is 7300.

7000K just so you know on a manual.......

ghostshellx: he asked where redline started not how high you can take it.

rgr, i needed to know where it started :D

thanks everyone..... ive been going up to 6k and shifting cause i forgot where it was hahaha

i have manual btw, so 7k here we go :P

Just a quick bump..........Does anyone know how to turn up the rev limiter.......I'm getting a GS that was turned down to 3k which sucks..........and I really wanna turn it up..........any info would be cool......


peace

Wait, your rev-limiter kicks in at 3k, or 4k? If it won't let you go above 4k RPM's, replace your MAP sensor, or check the wiring that goes to it.

Thanks for using the search, though. :thumbsup

Oh ok.............The car got turned down becuase the girl who owns the car....her dad didn't want her going past 90mph........and there's some way to just it turned up..........they said I could take it to any machanic and they would be able to but I'd rather do it myself...........

you got lied to, the car has a problem and they made up a story that you believed...

You totally got scammed. There is something wrong with the car that they were too ignorant (or cheap) to fix. There is no way to modify the rev limiter on these cars as they come from the factory. As was mentioned, start by checking out the MAP sensor on the intake plenum. When facing the windshield, it's the little, black boxy sensor on the far left end of the intake manifold. Two screws from the top will get it out. It could be clogged up with shit or something like that.

Do you have any CEL codes? What year is this car?

One other thing you might want to check is the throttle cable to make sure it is adjusted right. If it has to much slack in it, it may not be opening the throttle all the way. :shrug

It's a 1997...........but I don't have the CEL codes..........I'll have to check out that MAP sensor..........thx again for the info
