Ceffy Bangs the limiter most days when Im driving and especially at the track when drifting, the RB20 loves limter!!!

As for durability, I seen a horrible Non turbo R33 Auto at the Drag tag burnout pit last nite, and he sat on the spot in first gear for about 3 minutes popping on the rev limiter. CONSTANTLY. The Aircon belt popped within a minute but he kept going. Sounded terrible.

Bite me - the car is nice - the driver sucked hahahah BTW its a turbo... And i popped the belt within 15 seconds, Its breathing a hell of alot better after the hiding i gave it last night :laugh:

the rev limiter is there in a safe place to stop you making melted steel out of ur motor. i have seen/driven many a car bouncing continuously off the rev limiter. Look at a typical drift meeting at barbs. For a good 150m we are smashing limiter up the hill in 3rd and yet to break anything. stop being so weak, get out there smash some limiter and scare some old people :laugh:

agree 100% if your not smashing the limiter ur not tring hard enough!

Machine Gun Limiter Pfc Style!!!!!

The Rev Limiter is a Guide so is the speedo, To reach the end of a dial is a goal. Once there you will never look back!

Seriously most Jap cars the red line is under stated by about 1500 rpm, eg compare Nismo dash cluster to stad cluster for a GTR, std readline at 8 grand

Nismo around 9.5 to 10 mark.

The under testing by Nissan would do a similiar test flat chat for days on end til the engine blew up to simulate increased engine wear. So driving that hard will stress the engine and increase engine wear hich if done on a regular basis leaves things open for things to fail.

Looks like I'm the minority here :laugh:

RB26's cost a fortune to rebuild though so I'm not fussed.

No seriously i dont think you are. If you are hitting a limiter say 1st to 2nd in a drag race, provided you've got traction, you must be losing momentum, so from that aspect its counter productive. Unless your Roy and your doing some MC work:laugh:

Wah, wah, wah...throttle control this, durability that. :)

I use a lot of limiter in first and 2nd gear as i need every last rpm so that when i shift i dont fall out of the powerband.

LOL...anyone that has seen (or heard :D ) me coming onto the straight at Sandown knows that i hit the limiter a bit. Its not intentional and i would rather not be doing it.

I even have multistage shift lights so i know the revs im pulling. But if you back off you lose momentum and the whole throttle control thing...provided its not pointless wheelspin you just have to wait that brief moment for road speed to equalise with rpm...then you just shift up :(

Plust the things revs out so quick when comign out of slow 2nd gear corners, sometimes you are jsut too busy with the steering and keeping the thingon the blackstuff to worry about shifting up before you are out of the corner

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
