RS2000 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Silly question time... tried a search and couldn't answer it... Would a standard K-series Academy 06 have a rev limiter fitted as standard Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 My boggo K does... Easy way to find out. Warm up the car and floor it! 😬 John _________________________ myothercarsa2cv Bugsy: '82 2cv6 😬 Talloulah '08 1.6K Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpa Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yes it does - about 6750, I think. Test it in 2nd or 3rd, less of a shock to the system that way ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingars Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 From the rolling road session I had on my 1996 1.4 K supersport MEMS I am going vote for 7,450. Scared the crepe out of me as Oily said that as my 1.8 conversion was only non-forged pistons I shouldn't stray north of 7K.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2000 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks for all the responses, I'm fairly happy now that I'll have one, so don't need tio think installing an after market one - having owned the car for 19 hours now I didn't want to find out the 'hard way'...

Martin J Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 If Mrs J is in the 7 I have an organic rev limiter that won't let me rev beyond 5000rpm *nono* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yes, it has a limiter at 7,000 rpm. I can assure you they work, having hit it a large number of times.... An Academy car is not a Supersport, it has the standard Caterham ECU but with a race map which overfuels a little to aid cooling - it has been shown on rolling roads to have slightly less power than the standard map. http://www.minister-power.com/support/engine_data_pages/academy_data_page.htm Charles --- Triple E Racing - build diary and race reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2000 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I love this forum - just soooo much information! Thanks one and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2000 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 is it good forum etiquette to close off a thread once an answer has been given? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingars Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 A good question. There does seem to be a general view that threads in tech talk should be left open so that they can be resurrected at a later time if things change or someone wishes to ask a follow-on. I would leave it open. Edited by - jingars on 21 Apr 2010 22:19:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
