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

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
