Vtr rev limit

[ChrisT]

My mate wants to know is it possible to remove the rev limit on a vtr

[MaRiO89]

It is yes, any mapping company will be able to do it..

Why does he want it done anyway? Unless its cammed with and aftermarket cam there is no need as the standard cam drops off power before the std limiter kicks in anyway..

if you remove your limiter wih no mods at all your engine will go pop very quick

The engine wont blow up, there is just no need to do it though..

no it wont.

The engines are built to take alot more stress than that, they just set the rev limit low for long term wear and the fact the cam runs out of power early so no point revving when the power is not there

no point removin the limiter after all its there for a reason....my mate done it to his vtr an 3 weeks later BANG!!! new engine needed...

i really cant understand why you would want to take it off on a stock car without being branded a chav for all noise and no power

[Hannah_VTR]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but better than a new one
Basically looking at getting a Newman PH3 cam and on Kams website it says power increase between 3-7K. Would it be ok to get a limiter raised to 7k on a standard internal silvertop VTR??? Thanks

You'd need uprated valve springs - £60 from Piper.

I had a similar profile cam fitted to my VTR and I didn't think there was any need to raise the rev limiter - made peak power well before the std limiter. I wouldn't even get it mapped, doesn't need it imo. Have the timing adjusted on the rollers and save for a closer ratio gearbox: VTS, S2 Rallye, 1.4 XSI etc.

Ok, but think I'll still go for a map to get the best out of it, and all other mods mapped aswel then. And currently running a 1.1 box ATM. But when that go's will be going vts
