Engine management / rev limiter

« on: October 10, 2009, 08:09:12 AM »

sure you can rev to 7500-8000 all day long but that won't give you anymore power when the valves are floating... After 7000rpm its the momentum of the crank and the high power you made in the low rpms

It costs big bucks and major valve train upgrades to make power in the high rpms

This only applys for the M42 and the research I have done... I know nothing about any other bmw engine

So you think that with a high flow intake and a proper managment you can't get power after 7000+ rpm?

I am planning to replace the chip on the ecu so i want to know where is safer to set the rev limiter.
Hope that the chip will work so i won't run out of power at high rpm.

Hi to everyone!!!
I am new to the club and i want your advice.
At what rpm can a normal m42 (with stock valve springs, valves and retainers) can run without any problems?
