I have a 98 accent, and it seems like i have no rev limiter. Did they even put them on there? and if so what is the limit? I've had mine up to 5,500 RPM. I figured it should have kicked in by then

 

Well, the redline's 6,000 rpm on the SOHC Accent engine, at least it is on my 97... I've accidentally revved my engine to a little over 6,000 rpm once, and there didn't seem to be a rev limiter or fuel cutoff. I'd say no, but someone else might be able to give a more definitive answer.

 

All Hyundai's sold in North America have RPM limiters. It has to do with the tires and the ability to sustain high speeds.

 

Yes there's a rev limiter on the SOHC accent, if memory serves me right it'S at 6200RPM and on the tib it's 6500rpm? not very sure about the tibby...

tibby is either 6500 or 6750.

 

on the accent its 6250.

 

Ok so why is it there beside the obvious reason, protect the engine from the user

 

Random, 6500 and 6750? 2.0 and 1.8 ? or different years?

I've had some folks claim 6500. My OBD-ii software records between 6800 and 6700 when I bounce it off the rev limiter, the highest I have hit without it cutting of is 6750.

I dunno if it is a US/Canadian thing, or a different year thing or ????.
