Tacoma redline

My Tacoma cuts power after I hit redline while drifting/burnouts, I heard feathering the throttle helps this and I was wondering if that’s true

 

And this is why I try to buy new vs used. Few days early for a Friday post but hey, it's a holiday weekend.

OP keep trying and I'm sure you'll finally take it to the limit just right.

 

Working as designed.

Your problem is you are in an off road model

A Sport likes to be feathered. Part of the feature of the skewp.

 

Used is ok, long as its history is obvious but yes, agree. I sense Friday post here but no doubt this happens.

My Sport was owned for 2.5 years by a nice old man who daily’d it, probably nothing more than Lowe’s and the coffee shop, and used it to tow his little fishing John boat. He was getting old and starting to have a hard time with its height so he decided to part with it. Had 18k miles, receipts from 5k mile oil changes, spotless other than a little rust in the tow hitch from use. Absolutely the type of used find you’d want. Probably never saw the redline in its life.

 

The truck tried to save you from yourself.

There are ways to change redline behavior. I'm not sure that I want to say how to do it.

 

There’s a reason why professionals never redline during a drift or burnout, gotta keep it in the power band

 

There's no style points unless you're banging off the rev limiter

 

Try using half the amount of engine oil

 

Oooooooo, I'll guess!
Lobotomy?

Video or it didn't happen.

 

Well, welcome to the forum, I guess...

 

Nice first post! Welcome to the forum.

 

OP, forget about drifting and burnouts. Going airborne is where it’s at.

I dunno, I remember one time in my '22 OR 6MT I was merging onto the interstate and spaced out when all of a sudden it felt really spicy and then started bouncing off the rev limiter cause I forgot to shift. It felt like it had more to give!

 

People have been drifting Tacomas for decades. Just needs the correct venue and appropriate driver skill level

 

The thought did cross my mind. The 3rd gen is incapable of one wheel peeling on ice.


Then again, there is always the possibility of sincerity, as demonstrated in the past.

 

If you don't leave hard parts with your burnouts are you even living?

 

It does but not much more. Played around a bit. There were words noted about 7,400rpm, but 7,150rpm was the recommendation. Too high, IMO. Setting the limiter at 6,300rpm gives the right shift feel to me. I used to play around up there, but less so these days.

No burnout silliness, but having fun on ramps like you noted.
