If you have any idea how the inside of an engine works, you'll understand that staying constantly near or hitting the limiter is bad. Actually it's really bad.

The higher you rev the engine the more rod stretch you're going to get. While these rods are bouncing all over the place, add some crazy ass cuts all along the crank and things are going to get all out of balance, at such a high rpm.

Now hitting the limiter isnt bad if you do it every now and then, but inexperienced "drift queens" that just want to slide think its cool to just hold it on the limiter, and it's kind of like these clowns that have a vent to atmosphere bov - they do it because they think it's cool.

Well, unfortunately no one cares about your bov or your coolness at hitting the limiter. They just want to see it blow up, hence why they encourage you. It's human nature to want to see things blow. . Also, if You bash the limiter you're going to show that you have no idea how to properly drift, to the people that actually can.

Learn throttle control, and learn about what limiter bashing all day long will do to a standard rb25. Their rods are weak. They are more prone to rod stretch and will not take abuse.

I swear the questions on this forum are getting stupider every day.

has anyone seen a rod failure in a 25?

I bent a rod in mine but that was due to bearing failure welding the rod to the crank

All I've ever seen is detonation, bearing or oil pump related failures.

Never see a rod on its own let go with something else failing first.

Not very many engines like limiter bashing at all. When you limiter bash, you hammer the oil pump, when the oil pump cracks, you lose oil pressure and trash the motor...

I can tell you this from experience...

Yes, dead standard RB25 bottom end, making 370odd RWKW... Nitrous Oxide was then added...

Here is a look at my hand controller. Its a stock internal rb25det hitting almost 8200 rpm at about 26 to 28 psi through a gt35r. I raised the rev limit to 8500.

The youtube clip is uploading now and should be ready in half an hour.

I took it a bit easy in first gear to prevent limiter bashing.

I guess another degree of timing can come out at the high load 8000rpm cells.

Maxing your afm out, does that make it hard to tune?

I haven't tried it myself but I have heard that you guess what the timing and fuel will need to be after 8k and then change the 8k cells so the extrapolation works it out. I could be wrong.

That was the one and only time that engine will see that amount of rpm. The power fc lets you tune to 8k rpm anyway.

I'm about to upgrade my ecu to a map sensor based one so the afm maxing out wont be an issue.

ouch...would hate to see the EGT's

not that timing can be related between RB's due to the cas being a hunk of shit

The missus was watching the afr gauge and she reckoned it was mostly low 11's and went to 10.7:1 after 7500ish

There was a really nice piece of kit someone was using on here, individual cylinder EGT probes, basically comes with a special gasket that they are part of. Wasn't cheap though, something like $1500 for it and the data logging hardware/software it came with.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
