Rev Limitations

Soft Rev Limiter Delete

Modern vehicles often come with factory-programmed soft rev limiters designed to protect the engine by gradually reducing fuel delivery before the maximum RPM is reached. While useful for everyday driving, this feature can restrict throttle response, slow gear changes and limit the true performance potential of your engine. At Inverness Tuning, we specialise in ECU remapping and performance tuning solutions tailored to your car, van or commercial vehicle. Our soft rev limiter delete service recalibrates your engine control unit to remove these artificial restrictions while maintaining safe operating limits – giving you sharper throttle response, faster acceleration and a more engaging driving experience.

What is a Soft Rev Limiter Delete?

Modern vehicles often come with a “soft” rev limiter programmed into the ECU. This restricts how high your engine can rev in neutral or low gears, typically to meet noise and emissions standards rather than protect the engine. While it may serve the manufacturer, it can feel restrictive for enthusiasts, drivers who heel-and-toe, or anyone wanting a sharper response.

A Soft Rev Limiter Delete removes or raises this artificial restriction, allowing the engine to rev freely – just as it’s capable of doing under load – giving you full control when you need it.

Benefits of a Soft Rev Limiter Delete

A Soft Rev Limiter Delete unlocks the full potential of your engine by removing the factory-set restrictions on RPM. This modification delivers sharper throttle response, smoother launch control and improved drivability, especially for performance-minded drivers in Scotland. By allowing your car to rev freely, you gain better heel-and-toe downshifts, a sportier exhaust note and a more connected driving experience without compromising reliability. At Inverness Tuning, our expert ECU remapping ensures the rev limiter is safely adjusted to your vehicle’s specifications, providing a custom performance upgrade that enhances both everyday driving and track-day performance.
