    currently my rev limit is 7500rpm whereas i thought it was supposed to be 8200 rpm, whats goin on? i am using standard management all standard parts. someone once mentioned it would go to this lower limit if the speed sensor wasn't connected (which it isn't in my case) if this is the cause how can i get around it?

    revs count in a 20v

    any help greatly appreciated.

    you need a 4 pulse per revolution output from your speedo assembly in your dash connected to the violet/white wire on the 12 pin plug of your ecu to get the 8200 rev-cut.

    If you can't find the output at your dash cluster (it's a pulsed ground) then you can also use a piggyback transducer which goes between the speedo drive on your box and the speedo cable (same as what some people use to make an RSM work in their AE86).

    One other thing some of the clubman guys do is use a 555 timer IC to make a pulsed ground output circuit and hook the ecu up to that.

    Basically the ECU needs an input to know the car is moving for it to allow the use of the whole rev-range.
