anyway to dissable RPM limiter on 6spd 05's??
I noticed yesterday that there is an RPM limiter when in neautral on my 6spd 05 W203. Is there a way to remove that? will Dyno mode remove that?

Thanks

The only way to remove this safety feature would be through reprogramming. HTH

peak torque is at 3500 anyway, right? so you can just floor it, let it stand at the limiter, pop the clutch and gooooo

audi's DSG has a similar feature. you can stand on the brake and gas when it's in 'sport' mode, and it'll hold the revs, when you release the brake it'll launch

Is this limiter in neutral or if the clutch is pushed in?

You can tell I've never tried it!!

do you really need to heat cycle street tires to drag? I could see if you were running slicks or drag radials, yeah...

well why not? the warmer the tires the stickier they get regardless of their treadwear. That's just the way rubber works.

Why would you be revving your car in neutral anyways. If you are going to launch it then it needs to be in gear. WHY WHY WHY ??????

Why would you want to destroy your clutch with a high RPM clutch drop? I can smoke my tires no problem doing a power brake with my 6 speed! And I drop the clutch from like 1500-2000 RPM. No need to go to redline and drop the clutch they will spin just fine without needing to wear your clutch out faster!

Hold clutch with left foot, and toe-heel the brake and gas with right. Feather the gas to get a few RPMS and let the clutch out! Hold brake and floor with right foot. Car stays still and rubber is quickly removed from tires. LEaves big black marks and rubber pieces on ground. Once you break the tires lose you can let off the brake a hair to let the pressure off the rear brakes.
