Rb25 Hitting Rev Limiter Street Use

[extreme33]

Thanks for some half decent answers. At least i can lol at my mates a bit more when i hear that sweet bang

[tridentt150v]

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.

Wasting any more than 1/10 of a second on a come back to this kind argument would be a real good use of time wouldn't it... Doesn't take a genius to figure that...

[tridentt150v]

Don't open it......no please don't!!!

I think the OP realises it now, and it wasnt a stupid question either.

I've never hit the limiter in my car. lol @ the vid.. needs to learn how to drive lol

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.

[zebra]

knock sensors just pick up sound of a certain frequency...hitting the limiter makes a lot of mechanical noise which the sensors pick up

hahaha cheers - poor boat..

Goddamn some people just need to stick to walking.

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

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?

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
