coming back from a road trip i tried to find out what my top speed was.... not a good decision... i topped out at 135mph at 8000 rpm and blew my engine.
does that mean i have a speed limiter?

No, you blew your engine from excess high revs, heat, knock, not enough fuel, and newb driver mod.

Speed limiter would have nothing to do with you blowing your engine.

I would have shut it down right when you seen this when you were going 135mph after you hit your NAWZ!

What were you thinking???? 8K not good unless the motors built, but it sounds like your wasent. If your motor isnt built or have cams you really shouldnt be taking it past 7k. So was it worth it??

LOLZ@thread.

I wish they'd make speed limiters blow motors up, there'd be less idiots out there.

Dude.....Why didnt you shift into 5th? lol
7500rpms in 4th is right around 130mph, you blew your motor in 4th, didnt you?

Now I don't have a 2g, nor do I have any idea if they are geared differently. BUT I have done 145+ in my first 1G awd TSi. And I wasn't anywhere near 8k (at least not to the best of my recollection) I think I was just under 7k or right at it.

I was thinking the 1g (at least) should be capable of around 150ish mpr before it's at it's stock revlimiter. So it seems pretty odd to me you were turning 8k and only doing 135..


Am I wrong here?

OP, Work on your punctuation and capitalization. Also, this does not belong in the Tech section. Lastly, check Vfaq.com, this has been outlined many times.

moving to newbie talk.
