I can't get my engine to go past the rev limiter...what do I do



Yeah I know...this is a pointless thread. Though, can 3.0's do this with out blowing up?

 

Oh yeah...and I've got some IFS flex in the front...I know all of you are so jealous...you guys with you had a 3 cylinder piece of crap



Sorry, I'm really bored right now...lol

Anybody like to swim?






O.K, on a serious note. I noticed the breather on my rear axle is like a little stub sticking off of the top. I KNOW my axle was submerged in the water...does that mean I GOT water in it? I will probably have to drain it again...lol

SORRY for the stupidest thread ever...i'm really bored...lol

 

I would change the diff fluid for sure!

As for the REV limiter, as far as i know, Toyota's did not come with on, maybe on the 22RE but for sure not on the 3VZ-E. I'm going to get the MSD OFF Road and REV Limiter and set it to 5000RPM.

 

Yeah, I definitely will now...maybe I should just extend it...I think 4wds had a longer one.

Anyway, I have heard mine does.

Isn't the redline the same for the 22re and the 3.0? I would definitely set it at redline or less...definitely NOT the rev limiter.

 

Well the 4WD diff is higher off of the ground than 2WD in most cases because it can handle bigger tires, which in turn give more ground clearance.

the 3VZ-E Redline is about 5300-5500RPM and there is no limiter cause i have taken it to 6000RPM and I didnt want to go any more.

 

where we go 4wheeling there is a kind of pool pond small body of water like that ... we call it the ghetto car wash!!!!

2wd out there you got some balls without a locker..

i like the white truck looks nice..
whats up with the nazi sign?

 

Oh okay, that makes sense. Should I bother with extending it or just not drive in water like that?

So the same as a 22r/e then...lol.

lol...the ghetto car wash! lol, actually this is a boat launch, and the river is really high right there. Its kind of an odd place.

Yeah, I like the white too...but the front clip is different than the cab, doors, and bed because its been wrecked...lol.

Oh yeah, the Nazi sign. It says keep Jefferson white...apparently there are some mexican haters in my area. I would never do that and I'm not that type of person. There is a bunch of tagging there, and I live in a town with like 3500 people...lol. Very country like. Cows, horses, sheep, and some pigs

 

I would extend the diff. even with 2WD. cause you never know when it could be useful.

 

Where to? Like maybe in between the bed/cab? Where does it normally go? lol.

Don't I just need a piece of tubing and a hose clamp to clamp it on...and I've had a couple bad boat ramp experiences...lol.

 

setting up your engine to rev that high would kill the bottom end power and you would likely have to regear higher to take advantage of the higher powerband... which negates the benefit of doing so since the 22re can make plenty of power at lower rpms with a good cam or turbo or supercharging and the latter options would likely be cheaper. a high rpm 22re also isn't very streetable.

give this a read if you haven't already: http://www.toysport.com/Technical%20...tech_notes.htm

if you're really serious about revving it up that high, an aftermarket engine management system or sidedraft carbs, stronger valve springs and an appropriate cam that could push the larger valves are some of what you need. plus you might as well redo the headgasket and bottom end if you're engine mileage is in the higher 5 digit range.

(*edit- changed to read "bottom end power")

 

Ahh... I just love the sound of valves floating in the morning

 

um.... there is a revlimeter. its 6250rpm on the 22re and i think the same on the 3.slow, in my taco "2.7" the revlimeter is around 5500rpm. every fuel injected rig i have ever drove has a revlimeter.

 

I wasn't aware my 22re had a rev limiter...

 

I know on Toyota EFI's......according to the Toyota tech training manuals...the rev limiter is programmed into the ECU to cut fuel at a set RPM to prevent engine damage. And, I do believe it's set on the IG circuit.....having to do with distributor rotation and position (NE?) signals. Don't quote me on that, though. It's just what I'm recalling at the moment.

At any rate, I don't see how you can adjust/change it without utilizing a different ignition system and ECU. Maybe that's what they call a "piggyback".

Don't know...just throwing out thoughts.

 

Stop throwing out thoughts... this is a thread started by "91Toyota" you know... and you don't want to be wasting your thoughts.

 

Oh Kirk....they're never wasted on '91Toyota. It's like giving a cat some catnip. Just kick back and watch it go nuts....lol!

 

 

Okay, I admit that that was pretty funny...lol.

Anyway...how about both of you fools check out my other thread...the surging one...lol. I'm trying to decide on what to do now.

 

As far as taking water in the diff, I was under the assumption that that valve would stay closed unless there was pressure change, and if the diff and the water had temperatures that were close to the same, then it wouldn't suck water into the diff.....

 

I'm not trying to contradict what you've already ascertained, but...
if the differential is 'warm' and suddenly the housing is 'cooled', wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that the cooled housing (caused by immersion in water) would cool the air within the housing and thus cause the breather to draw in air... and if the housing and breather were underwater, water would be drawn in?
