Is Hitting The Rev Limitter Bad

[mad082]

the reason to rev it to 7500 is so that when you grab the next gear it is higher in the power range.

and limiter smashing sounds cool.

old vid but applicable to this thread

with the microtech i run the soft cut at just over 7 which cuts 3 injectors, then the rev cut at 7.5 which cuts all...

when you hit boost in 1st gear, its like zzzzzz bu-bu-bu-BANG with a cloud of black smoke out the back!!!

wouldnt a ignition cut only be dangerous if the fuel that is still being supplied ignited on some white hot carbon in the cylinder???? and blew half your spark plug out the ass of your new disco???

the rev limiter is there in a safe place to stop you making melted steel out of ur motor. i have seen/driven many a car bouncing continuously off the rev limiter. Look at a typical drift meeting at barbs. For a good 150m we are smashing limiter up the hill in 3rd and yet to break anything. stop being so weak, get out there smash some limiter and scare some old people

amen brother! have a warm glass of harden the f**k up.

i owned an r31 with an rb25det in it for 5 years. everyday i hit the limiter. didn't really care about it that much....no such thing as a warm up in that car....had 205rwkw the day i got rid of it. still purrs like a kitten to this day.
