What can your ex rev to?

[Billy177]

they all have rev limiters the new ones have 2 step limiters that only allow 3k in neutral and park

 

[Brandons]

i dont try to push mine past 5k, so i have no clue were the limit is.

 

[explorer4x493]

While driving, mine shifts at 5400 RPM.

For those of you who can only rev it to 3k in P or N.. Can you try to go 15+mph and put it in neutral then try it? Most cars, if its over 5-10, it will rev over the rev limiter. if your moving in neutral.

My explorer hasnt been over 4500 in years. It just doesnt sound good at all. I hardly ever go over 2.5K.. gas is too expensive. Only sometimes when Im getting on the highway, I might hit 3k-3.25k..........

on my 94, the rev lim always kicked in at about 5200 on the tachometer

 

[jimbo74]

if it only revs to 3k its broken!

my grandpa's 01 sport trac wouldent go over 3k..it cut fule off at 3k..it would bounce from 3k-2k then back to 3k..ect untell you let off it

 

[Billy177]

it is perfectly normal to only go to 3k when you are driving and floor it will go higher

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

im talkin about in P/N..when driving mine shift's around 5k..he asked in P/N how high will it go

 

[99SportX]

I have gone 5000+ in P/N.

How bad is it for the engine to do this? I try not to do it very often, because I feel I am hurting my EX

I think I've got mine up to 5600rpm. That's where the rev limiter comes in.

I think for the newer models, the rev limiter sets to only 3000rpm when the tranny is in Park or Neutral.

 

[TheJMan]

About 4800 on my 93 OHV.

 

[Foo]

I'de say maybe 5750 rpm.. maybe a lil higher...

gotta show off the exhaust system every now and then

 

[Alec]

It is very bad to rev any motor high when it doesn't have a load on it.

I'd do 3-3500 max in P or N usually, sometimes a bit more if I was being naughty.

However when driving I'd routinely go 6000+.

I take the VW to 6700.

 

[Vozar]

Ive also been to 6250.

 

[frickea86]

i've takin mine to 5k and that scared me as i thought the cam was gona go flying...just kidding...it sounded nice....

Be afraid... Be very afraid.

If your chipped or getting a chip you can have the rev limiter removed, buts its there to protect your auto tranny, I had mine left in but had the speed limiter removed

Hit 5000 a couple of times, usually when I was shifting ti 2nd and the D**n shift knob came off and I missed....not good when this happens in mudhole!

 

[Brandons]

hehe and if the tranny happens to die, as most a4lds do, if you have one, then get it built , its usually a good idea for that tranny to extend the life of it, i do 4500-5000rpm goin from 2nd to 3rd gear, you can really feel it hit the gears then.
