Question Revlimiter on stock ECU?

What's the type of revlimiter built into a stock ECU? Does the engine retard or does it use fuel-cut? Also, can you get an aftermarket revlimiter that will work with the stock ECU? (Just curious)...

Fuel cut and no. You need an aftermarket ECU to raise or eliminate the fuel cut.

Ok, so how come you couldn't use an aftermarket fuel cut device as a revlimiter? I would think the ECU might not be tuned properly ABOVE the stock revlimit but what about if you lowered it? A product that I've seen and sounds interesting is the OMEX clubman revlimiter and launch control:

So would that product work with the FD? And if not, how come? (yeah a lot of questions, and it's not that I doubt your answer...I'm just curious as to what makes the rotary engine/ECU in the FD different.) Thanks a lot, -Joe

That would be a nice gadget for when we leave our cars at the body shop/tire place/valet park so the idiots won't hotrod in our FD's.


That would be classic to see their face when they hop in and it won't rev past 2k.



*edit* I guess if you have a PFC, you already have one.
