VTS Rev Limit

  1. #1
    I'm pretty sure that a vts' redline is at 7250

    I was driving mine earlier and it carried on until 7500 where I changed gear as I didn't want to go any higher...

    Is there any reason for it not to limit at 7250 as as far as I know the engine is completely standard apart from my full supersprint system and panel filter.

    Cheers.

    Not sure about that, I know VTEC Civics go to 8,500 revs iirc.

    Why the hell were you changing gear at that revs anyway lol

    Just testing my new engine out mate lol.. Wasn't speeding, was on a motorway slip road. Just curious as to why it didn't limit.. As I said, I didn't want to go any higher. Don't intend on putting my engine under silly pressure!

    Tbh mate I wouldn't want to be doing that too often. Cant be healthy for the engine lol

    You might want to get that checked out? Could be a fault?

    Oh don't worry mate. I don't intend on doing it often lol..

    I mean, the rev limit is there for a reason, it is healthy to rev up to it.. Hence, I was checking to see if it was there and it just carried on! Just wondered if other people have had this etc..

    Possible fault with the limiter?

    If it was me id get it checked or even ask a mechanic just to make sure mate.

    Pretty sure it hasn't got a chip or been modified in the slightest though mate that's the thing..

    Don't really feel like taking it to 8000 to find out either lol

    Just do it you pussy
  10. #10
    standard limiter is 6250 i think... but thats good though,,, more top end perhaps?
  11. #11
    my standard engine goes to 7600 roughly before it hits the limiter, a mate of mine also has the same. we both have mk2 vts's

    really? i'll have to check my gti.... not keen on thrashin it as i just done over a clutch

  14. #14
    yeah i respect the car now after i was racing and the clutch friction plate snapped... thing is you cant not rag a vts/gti, too tempting imo
  15. #15
    after my remap on my vts i can rev all the way to about 7600, and still dont hit the limiter, dont dare let it go any further, always feel bad after i rev it abit poor thing lol

  41. #41
    I love how lonely you must be. Me on the other hand, couldn't give a shit.

    Saxo's were marketed towards the shopping car crowd, now seem to attract younger kids, as i've got older, i don't need speed, i need to get from A-B.

    Grow up? Not very Xsara like behaviour is it?
  42. #42
    Xsara Sucks COCK, But that my opinon

    And tbh by coming in the thread saying that its amazing and starting a "My Cars better than your car" you deserve the shit.....

    Awaits Rapage....

    i get cocks like you trying to have a go at my clio m8 and leave them for dust so jog on back to the family car forums pls
  48. #48
    oh and to be "on topic" the rev limit of a VTS is 7250
  49. #49
    could it be that when the ECU was unlocked the rev limit has either been removed? or is just very high?

    Might be worth fitting one of those OMEX rev limiters as is nice for peace of mind to have a limiter!

    Just like the speedo, the rev count is out. All standard vts rev to around 7600 on the dials

    jog on ,think again with your clio,just another hairdressers car the xsara vts eats for breaky
  52. #52
    xsara...? I'd rather walk.
  53. #53
    so would i if i had a 1.1 saxo walking is faster
  54. #54
    But in that case you'd have been daft to get a 1.1 saxo.
  55. #55
    well said ^^^^^^^^^^lmfao
  56. #56
    So you're just backing up that you would have been daft to buy one? I lovew how you somehow believe you are by far superior to all saxo owners because you own a Citroen, Xsara. Seriously mate, at the end of the day you honestly need to get a life.

    Perhaps toodle off to your xsara forum with your friends? If, of course other people with xsara's actually sit in front of a pc talking to other old men.
  57. #57
    got to be better than talking to kids and hairdressers
  58. #58
    Well better do one then, people will start talking.

    Gav the old cunt in a Xsara likes chatting up young boys over the internet, invites them to meet and then rapes their poohole. And as far as a hairdresser's car? fucking lolz. you've got a screwloose.
  59. #59
    where did u get that idea from,omg is that why your on here pmsl sicko
  60. #60
    jobby jabber that u are lmfao
  61. #61
    Sorry mate, hit a nerve?


    And I have better things to do than argue with some old man over the internet about how he rapes little boys.

    SO I leave you with this.




  62. #62
    i have a 1.1 and i'm a hairdresser (well barber) n just just find this so funny how xsara are putting out 120 break but if u look at most of the vt's on here their pushing more.

    this must be what u do for fun, yerh, whilst ur not searching though porn i guess

    your xsara would eat a 200bhp+ clio sport WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA twat!

    sorry i am really pissing myself here at work, as i said go back to the family car forum! you would have 0 chance at keeping up with me unless it was a 220bhp engine track preped with fuck all weight
  66. #66
    lol ive taken many clio sports,over rated
  67. #67
    220 bhp you say,is that with your electric supercharger fitted lmfaoooooooooooo
  68. #68
    some unlocked ecu's dont have a rev limiter.
  69. #69
    I think Gav just needs a BIG hug.

    Don't worry mate, life does get better than this as you get older. I'm sure you'll sort it out.

    Going back to the OP's comments... The limiter has nothing to do with the engine, it's set by the ECU. Standard setting is 7250rpm which has already been mentioned. With a standard engine, there's no need to rev the engine this high, as max BHP should be obtained roughly around 6600rpm. However, it won't do the engine any harm, that's why the limiter is there, to stop the engine going to an unsafe rpm.

    If you want to look after your engine, make sure you give it regular oil changes, and use fully synthetic oil, preferably ester based types. Make sure all other regualr serviceable items are changes frequently, and then you can rev it high until your heart is content.

    As toad said

    And someone ban the man with ginger hair and a skirt we are all gutted that you drive the fastest xsara in the world and will always be envyous of you NO REALLY WE ARE !

    (no offence to any other scottish member though)
  71. #71
    Full of shit this thread.

    Covered many a time

    limiter is 7250... but if your pushing the car hard in 1st 2nd 3rd sometimes it will rev all the way through, had mine right the way through the 7s.

    Pointless rev'in that high, but sometimes on a track its easier/faster to not change gear as you will be dropping back down more or less straight away for a corner.

    Straight lines etc i normally change around the 6800 mark, as i can feel the car drop out the power band after that.

    no its with my stand alone ecu, jenvey ITB's and 428 cat cams u nobber sorry for going compleatly OT but hes doing my head in

    the xsara vts only has a book 0-60 of 8secs, and 167bhp.

    whereas a tb'd vts will be around this power figure, BUT a lot llighter so would eat it to 100 (all you'd really do with an S1 box) - so a 1*2 TB'd clio (200bhp+) would easily do a xsara vts, and would be into the distance when it came to the bends.

    I'm not arguing, I'm trying to put across the facts.

    1-0

    eh mate my vts saxo woops the bigger xsara vts yes you have a bigger engine but power to weight its slow. when you going to crail next? also has for the rpm mines remaped its goes to 8000rpm still not hit the limter
  75. #75
    I've had the same on my standard ECU; rev limit at 7.5k. Tach must be a bit out I assume.

    Btw, don't feed the Jock troll.

    I think you would find that your lil xsara wouldnt stand a chance against my VTS, and I dont have a black bonnet or a noisy exhaust.

    Back on topic standard VTS revs to 7250, but sometimes the clock can be slightly out so indicates more than true.
  77. #77
    I would deffinetly6 get it checked out mate or just rev it and if it dosnt limit by 8k then youve obviously gotr somthing wrong.

    VTS-Gav-VTS which is a shit username to begin with and makes me think your the type of person who goes and buys shitty looking wheel trims, cause you can't afford alloy wheels, and still thinks neons are cool along with your lexus lights and BIG MASSIVE Stickers, tbh mate if your not gonna give the boy advice dont comment at all, simple enough, so i suggest you leave this forum, because your no use to anyone.

    Hope you crash into a fucking wall you prick
    Have a nice day

    it will not rev more with a differnt gear box!!

    the rev limiter is done by the ECU!

    and anyway an XSI and rallye when on the XSI or rallye engines have lower rev limiters than a vts standard!

    so that would not effect it one bit all contorl from the ecu.

    You could have a fualt crank sensor which might be throwing it out at higher revs!

    or someone play with the ecu you have on your engine!

    where has vts GAY vts gone im enjoying laffing at him.
    id love race u in my 1.6 corsa. id make shure u had a close up of the thing too.

  86. #86
    xsara is a shit car and slower than a std vts so this guy is a gimp, some1 ban him so we dont have to listen to his crap..

    ur dials might be out thats why it APPEARS to be revving higher, push it to nearly 8k and see if it hits, if not then something is either different or wrong

    Sadly the fact you are clearly a moronic tool, has ruined a perfectly good thread, which I now have to lock. If you decide you want to start pointless arguments in any other threads feel free to log out before I have to do it for you.
