so youre saying that everyone whith launchcontrol is a ricer and whants to get noticed ? first of all these limiters are safer for a engine you can install les revss and no fuell cutt duo to cutting the spark signal thats why unburnt fuel detonates in the elbow, but as i said it would be fine if you dont turn gain up to high which some people do because they like they bang bang indeed and yes high gain and overuse can damage but i said that my plans wherent use a high gain, so please stop bashing the limiter now and my choiche to buy one my car its my money Mkay?

My brain hurts due to lack of oxygen. Please say again in some sort of English.

End of the day, you don't need it. Post the specs of your car.

Cutting fuel is a safer fuel cut than cutting the ignition (which is why every car manufacturer does it). Cutting the fuel simply means the spark plug fires but it does nothing. Creates no heat or stress on anything. Cutting the ignition is bad for the turbo and exhaust due to the excess heat and pressure.

The only real use for this type of ignition cut is if you want to build boost while banging on the limiter in neutral, such as in a drag car.

As for whether it's genuine or not, does it really matter? From what I've read, the fakes still seem to work fine. As long as the price was reasonable then move on.

nicely said.

I thought cutting spark was safer as it prevented leaning out and melting pistons?

I have no experience with them but it makes sense. Could overspin the turbo if the fuel ignites in the turbo though.

If there's no fuel there'll be no ignition (as in no bang), so no risk or pinging or higher cylinder temps

Spot on. No fuel = no bang = no heat. And even if you had the tiniest amount of residual fuel vapor in there, it would actually be so lean that that it wouldn't actually cause much heat, if it was even enough to ignite in the first place. You get to a point where leaning out doesn't get hotter, and temps start to drop. Think about it, if you have a big fire it heats up a big area, but lighting a match in the same area won't do squat.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
