i beg to differ...

i have had my 08 since the summer of 2007

my safc has read 6800 as my highest rev...


i havent really tested when n where it will allow u to go past 6500 rpms but i know in some gear si can and others i cant

im pretty sure that in second gear my rev limit is 6650 and i know for a fact ive gotten 6800 outta 3rd gear....


another fact about the 08 tc is that when it hits rev limiter it will def bounce(soft cut) but it still allows u to continue slightly more before the HARD cut kicks in in high rpms i know also that in 1st gear its just hard cut not soft

 

Thats interesting. Thought they all the same

 

nope its was already a known fact that 07-09 rev higher than 05-06

toyota:
05-06= 6250rpms
07-09=6500rpms

but, like i said ive gotten to rev to 6800

 

mine redlines and bounces at 6800 when in park or neutral.....and under load at 6500 is as high as I can get it to rev.....also own an 08.

 

mind i ask why any of you guys are even making your engines scream that high?

 

Someone buy my stock 06 ecu lol!

 

when your parked and showing off ect is it bad to bounce it off the revlimiter? or what if ur in low gear and u gun it till it bounces then shift to second on a automatic?

 

65,000? Holy ____! I want what you got.

OP, Please tune my car!

 

I can not understand your question here. You seemed confused about some things, but I can not help you, If I dont know what question you are trying to convey. Try re-wording your question.

Do you mean, Is it bad to hit the rev limiter when shifting from first to second?

 

im turbo so me taking it that high is useful but for n/a applications shifting at 6k is optimal thats what i used to do and how i ran my best times

 

turbo or not around 6500 is real high, think about the stress you are putting on the engine at that point and hitting the limiter cannot be more useful than just shifting. i am not talking about those who raise their rev limit b/c of their turbos.

 

when the 05-06 hit redline it keeps bouncing at redline and the same goes with the 08+ but with the 07 when you hit 6500 it hits fuel cut off and you lose power but then it picks up and it stays at 6500 but it's better to shift than to stay at that rpm because you wouldn't want to blow your motor or tranny and if you do hold it at 6500rpms then when you shift your exhaust will blow a bunch of black smoke out.

 

like when you have a automatic and you go from L to redline and bounce it around 45mph then shift to second. like.. wahhhhhh ba-ba-ba wahhhhhh hahahha understand?!

 

^^no it is not good too redline all the time and sit there and rev until it redlines. Also it is not good practice to shift the auto like it is a manual. Those gears are really there for hills and stuff.

 

i did it like once or twice. but i was talking about my friend in this situation he loves to do it haha

 

well one of these days he will enjoy that repair bill

 

^exactly you shouldn't do it on the auto unless your going up a steep hill at a slow speed but put it in 3 instead of L because your gonna put alot of stress on the tranny and gears.

 

hence me asking...why would someone in the right mind do this?

and with and auto starting in "L" and shifting up while accelerating hard is probably one of the easiest ways of destroying your tranny

 

^^because people are going to do what they want to do. Some people are stupid and just think it wont do anything to their cars and others just dont care.

 

ehh, yea i guess thats true...repair bills gonna suck later down the road
