Wondering if it is possible to change the nature of the stock rev limiter?

Now I don't know much (at all) about the coded internal working of the ecu BUT, I'm wondering if it's setup in a way that you could tell it to cut different channels, i.e. to cut the ignition channels instead of injectors..

so... basically a Bee*R limiter?

there is nothing wrong with the fuel cut.

The Ignition cut is more harsh on the engine and will cause premature turbo failure, and blown gaskets.

If you're gonig to say "Yeah but the injectors cut and can cause a lean condition" then you are absolutely wrong. The injectors cut after a full cycle, not halfway through.

Injectors are spot on. And when you cut an injector, the cylinder is completely empty, therefore no explosive charge, and no detonation \ lean condition.

BUT in saying all of this, if you have an aftermarket turbo, and good support systems, ignition cut is more fun :thumbsup:

Yes and yes, and finally yes :happy:

Once the 35R is on it will go in for another remap, I was wondering if it was possible to do what i said above. I'm not a fan of limiter bashing but some nice flames occaisionally wouldn't go astray :thumbsup:

Im guessins, but there are two ways that i can see to easily do this, You could put appropriate igntion values in to give it a soft limiter- ie 0deg ign timing above a certain rpm, or turn the dwell down till it doesn't run, im pretty sure there is an rpm/dwell table.

This assumes his ECU runs the injectors sequentially up till readline. I thought most of them go batch fire above 4000rpm, meaning of course fuel is being squirted at the back of closed inlet valves in portions of the total millisec requirement. Half or 3/4 strength charge can indeed be ingested into the cylinder. I could be wrong, maybe the R32 ECU is seq the entire rev range... :D

    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
    • The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂
    • I use Taaarks/efi solutions ones. Years, and no issues.
    • At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great.
