ok well i did it, i set it to 6950 last night.

two things.

1. even tho it was set at 6950 it still spiked out to 7215rpm when i hit the rev limit hard. is that normal?

and

2. Does it hurt the engine or anything bouncing it off the limiter?

do you have to turn car off and back on again to get the settings to stay in?

i've not fiddled with a power fc for a while

tho maybe not true, as i remember sitting at lights and adjusting the launch control (gti-r) and that changed right away. now there was a few funny looks from other motorists, Bang bang bang bang!

if the engine couldn't rev happily to 8000rpm they wouldn't have put the factory rev limiter there.

So what I said about the factory limiter being at 8000RPM is correct?

Why the hell lower it to 6950 then!!! It's CRAZY TALK!

ive been told that 8000 is way to high and should reali be kept around 7000revs... so daily i wouldnt need any more then that.

Just being safe..

On a daily car, it is fine.

On the race track, stick a bit lower down. (This is why the ex bathurst GTR ran a 7000RPM limiter on race day, but during prac/qual ran 8000RPM...)

also dude, if its your daily, how many times in a day are you going to be bouncing off you rev limiter?? im sure you will give it a squirt here and there, and if you do, having you rev limit at 7500rpm is fine, even 8000rpm! but just dont sit there and bounce, obviously then you asking for trouble. with these motors, in first and second you still pull when hitting 6500 - 7500 or so, so if your changing gears early, then you wont be inside your torque range in the next gears.. and so on...

so your saying hitting 7000rpm on a daily basis is fine?

Is this a trick question or a very silly one?

Not sure... so im gonna reply with one of my own

You sit on the limiter daily driving?

No.

So of course its fine for a daily driver.

Bouncing of a 7k limiter would be FAR WORSE than reving the car to 7500rpm and changing naturally.

You often come here with some misinformation, so wherever you keep getting it from, you need to stop going there or talking to that person.

7500rpm would be FINE. However, are you making power there on the stock turbos? Probably not that much so changing from 7k-7.5k would be the spot

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
