Hit limiter also causes engine knock, which can lead to broken ring lands, pitting in the combustion chamber and on the piston.

99% of knock readings on limiter are false. unless you've got more timing in that cell than others under full power it'll fine knock wise.

agree with the rest though, bad idea in general to limiter bash

5 seconds? haha what a dickbag.

do your mates realise that the car is actually losing speed while they are doing this? or are they actually too stupid to notice?

Excessive use of limiter will eventually break an oil pump.

Hard cut does do damage to bearings and could also pay a part in rod bolt failure too.

However, a lot of drifters sit on the limiter all day and i personally havn't heard of someone breaking an oil pump because of it.

Oil pump is definitely the weakest link though. Having a short nose crank, stock oil pump, old worn harmonic balancer and hitting limiter all the time. The odds are really against you.

heres a stupid question..How does a harmonic balancer get worn?

Kitto:

Never met someone who's broken an oil pump from limiter abuse hey?

Let me know when you're in my kneck of the woods, I'll come say hi. Then you'll know someone who has broken an oil pump through limiter abuse.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
