Title: Redline On A 1.6Mk Golf
Post by: Fielder5757 on 12 March 2005, 18:27

Ive worked out where my redline is on my Mk2 1.6 Driver, It sits around 6,000RPM, However ive not taken it past that and im just wondering if theres a rev limiter. If i floored the revs would they start to bounce, Or will i just end up watching my pistons fly through the bonnet?

you do have a rev limiter its built into the distributor i think, the revs will sit at whatever the maximum is for as long as you dare hold it, they will fluctuate about a bit tho

on a 16v its 7200rpm but you really never need to go there. max torque is at 4.5k and max power at 6k. so upchanges at about 6.5k has you sittin perfectly for the next cog selected!!
