spirit-racing Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 The process happens when the unburnt fuel hits the hot exhaust/turbo so how would it effect the engine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just cause you run lean you wont fuck your motor just cause you run a hard cut limiter you wont crack a piston. but its a contributing factor, and you should be aware of it. You asked for opinions, so your getting them. If you want to run it that bad, then youll do it anyways despite the risks. in that case go for it, just be aware that damage can occur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirit-racing Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thank you buddy, I appreciate your advice and honest opinion :-) I think I may try it at a later stage. One thing I recall is, my mates V struggles to pop/bang on the launch controll only pops when revved up to 6k rpm.. I guess it's cause he doesn't have a Fpr? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 There are different types of rev limiters soft/hard cut limiters, the hard cut limiters are where it cuts the ignition for longer(more chance for more fuel/air to enter combustion camber) making a big bang and the reverse is for the soft cut limiters. There are many adjustable ones On market Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlancEP82 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 toughgt the omex were goodand them bee r were bad on 4e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirit-racing Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Bolted it on, it's pretty awsome! It doesn't bang when on launch though. Only bangs when at 6k rev limit. Launch set at 4k which is just right, spool to take off without spinning up too much 👌£100 well spent Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Banbury Glanza Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Am I right in thinking this will hold you at say 4k for the best launch possible ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirit-racing Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah it does that too, press the button, rev her up, it blips at 4k until u let go of the botton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 for the best launch possible ?? thats maybe a little bit of fantasy but it will hold the revs at 4k as long as you want it too. thats about it. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Banbury Glanza Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 And at 4k is when it pops/flames and so on lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
