SPARK CUT on REV LIMIT (which is set via hand controller) (or datalogit) - there is no other way to adjust it

+ also with launch control

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

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
