    Since the cams feel like they want to carry on beyond what the standard ECU would allow, I thought I'd raise the rev limit. Chatted to someone who sells ECU chips who sorted me out a chip for my spare ECU, with some fueling/ignition tweaks and an RPM limit set at 8,000!

    Cracked open my spare ECU:



    Chip is removable:



    In goes my aftermarket one:



    OK so 8,000 rpm isn't really a sensible limit with a standard top end! So I have this neat little unit which I have set at 7,500 rpm. Also has a secondary 'launch' limit that I've mounted via the button on the steering wheel which is a lot of fun I must admit!

    Yeah it's an OMEX limiter 'with launch control'. I've got a button on the steering wheel that sets the rev limit at something I can define, e.g. 4,000rpm. So I can sit at the lights at exactly 4,000, dump the clutch, off it goes then release the button to revert back to the normal limit when the wheels have stopped spinning. Want a video?
