Sparky Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I used to think having fuel cut there is to protect the engine, just imagine if you didnt have it Guess I got lucky Mine died when it was mapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Is there any proof that fuel cut damages the engine? I often hear of people hitting it but never see any posts say 'i hit fuel cut and my engine blew up'. Is it not more a safeguard for the engine to stop it blowing up. Funny topic either way, i like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The way I see it being "bad" is the same as sitting on the rev limiter.Going from full load to nothing to full load to nothing very very quickly can't be good for the engine, but obviously it's better than over-revving/running lean and breaking or melting something.

Glanza-Love Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 hitting fuel cuts not life or death to the car..Its there to stop you from doing damage to the internals & turbo lol.theres a first time for everything mate dont worry about it.Its a jap engine.. and a tought mucker at that... hitting the fuel cut its not going to sh*t its self and have a blow out..theres more chance of a piston melting in the third cylinder...

StarletRick Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 fuel cut, cuts the fuel. thus, stopping the car revving up, but the caveat is also a lean burn for a split second. its a pikey way of stopping it revving up. ignition cutting is better but it produces mc flames (that all a bee*r is/does) so you cant really have that on a stock car. unless youre sitting there bashing it off of fuel cut constantly nothing bad will happen. hitting it once and using that as a warning is the best way to go about it. at the end of the day, its there to stop you damaging the engine, if it was really going to borg the engine, it wouldnt be there/would be let lower, etc.alternativly, get your car setup properly so it doesnt hit fuel cut yes? ^^; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 hitting fuel cuts not life or death to the car..Neither is hitting the rev limiter which some people seem to shit bricks about.Just don't stay on it for too long... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_cl Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 you here things like 'hitting a brick wall' etc but it's not all that bad. just a bit like a bad misfire.you will be revving your car then all of a sudden it will jolt or judder, thats fuel cut it will most likely throw up an error code but nothing to worry about, it goes when the ignition gets turned off.the only time i have hit fuel cut is on the motor way, when i was doing some heavy revving in 4th as it's a long ratio gear.it mostly happens on motor ways when the turbo has a long time to spool and can over boost or creep, or on a cold night when the air is super dence.

Steve GT Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 yeh its deffo not like hitting a brick wall just feels like hitting a speedbump too quickly or something like that. well actually just like tapping the brake momentarely while at speed. once or twice wont do any serious damage lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
