lol i was meaning as its harder to hear the revs an gauge it when your excited, but was only joking, well the limitter was set before at 7750 but Dave lowered it to 7500 as theres no need to have it any higher etc,
Any way no pics, but ive justt fited some new center section exhaust rubber hangers as they melted on the rollers! lol
And while the back end was in the air i decided to lower my rear coilovers another 20mm, supprisingly they wernt stuck tight and it was easy..

Nice results Scott, what was it running when I drove it then? Just a standard map?
as scott said, you set the limiter at a safe limit...so it doesn't drop off too much & hopefully saves the engine...Quote:

Nice results too - the power probably isnt that far off what it was tbh (13.4 iirc on the quarter?) but the benfits will probably be teh delivery and torque curve improvements!
Base maps are built to be safe - now its efficient!
;)
I'd disagree tbh, I wouldn't lower the rev limit on an engine unless it was actually likely to rip the crank out the block, at least then if you overrev it a tad it keeps going rather than splatting you on the windscreen.Quote:

don't they teach about adding reliability on your course??
Yep, it's in the lecture with Geoff's sidenote on how to get an engine to rev to 24k without exploding.:)Quote:
