4500rpm rev limiter?
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:15 pm
Hi all, I've just bought an unrego'd Liberty 3.0R with the EZ30R and when giving it a decent blast of revs in neutral to see what it sounded like, to my surprise it hit the rev limiter at a lowly 4500 rpm and wouldn't rev any higher.
Now as it's not rego'd I can't drive it yet, but I happened to notice a post on a different forum where I guy was saying his 3.0 Outback had a 4500rpm rev limiter when in neutral.
Mine revs smoothly from idle to 4500 in neutral, then hits the limiter, but no flashing dash lights etc. As soon as it drops under 4500 rpm again it's smooth as.
Is this neutral rev limiter thing for real, or do I have a fault?
I've never known a car to vary the rev limiter between driving and neutral, so any thoughts will be a big a help.
Cheers.
