Do TVR's have REV limiters?
Discussion
Can anybody tell me if there is a rev limiter on a chimaera 500hc. If there is a limiter where is it?
I know you dont gain any more power by leting it rev right round but it's interesting to know
Hi Kev,
Posted a similar thread a couple of weeks ago.
It appears that the answer is yes.
try:- www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=13&h=&t=25046.
Hope this helps.
Big Al.

That agrees with my experience, the power drops right off shortly after 5000rpm. The Rover/TVR V8 is not a revvy engine and there is a possibility that it will self-destruct if you go much over 6000rpm.
Kev - Yes there is, but IMHO you only need to use it under three specialist circumstances:
a/ when not letting that Civic Type R disappear into
the distance.
b/ when chasing an Audi RS4 uphill in the wet.
c/ when pulling away from a rep's BMW 325CI at 80.
In ALL other cases, it should NOT be used.
