A 12k rpm tacho in a car that can only rev to 5750rpm....

No idea what car it is.

It was on photobucket, it was free, I don't have one , I don't want one,...........it was the closest I found at short notice.

reminds me of a 'tube vid of a bunch of kiwi's laughing at some bloke in a boat drifiting at some circuit... 1st gear limiter for aaaaaaaaaaaaaages.. if only i could find that vid

Dammit Zebra! glare.gif

Draw? happy.gif

No I havnt seen someone break an oil pump that was caused just by limiter bashing.

Harmonic balancers are a serviceable part and should be replaced every XX km.

From speaking to tuners and information from a power FC, although im not a huge fan of the power FC. Ive found that high knock readings are found when hitting limiter. How reliable knock readings are from the PFC is another thing.

Sadly I think it goes beyond this forum. I think the whole world is becoming more stupid!

:stupid:

Stupider.

OP, I doubt your friend is holding the car on the limiter for 5 whole seconds. Get a stop watch or just count 5 seconds in your head, if someone could hold the car on the limiter like that then there must be something wrong with them. The car sounds like death and drops off the power curve, so it will noticeably slow down.

Thanks for that info. What do you mean you don't want one? Man if I had 2 tacho's like that I would have one lined up with each eyeball to get stereoscopic revving uley. cool.gif

I wasn't giving you shit tho. It is a 90's model commodore in case you were wondering. They don't rev very high and take ages to get there too.

Ever thought he may have just been exaggerating and pulled a random number out of the air? :P

Yeah, sorry I wasn't sure so took the 'not insulting but refuting' approach. Lol at '90's Commie, I've probably been in one, but never cared enough to notice.

And TBH, I'd probably get one and use it if I was at a drag strip meet or something, but otherwise I don't need it, you tend to feel the torque drop off and change up anyway.

I think you'd get eye strain looking at that one though, be like ground level front row seats for the movies and watching an epic battle like LOTR's or Star Wars etc - my neck hurts thinking about it......lol

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
