Power FC Rev limiter + Drifting
Hi guys,
As I'm using my car for drifting, I was wondering if the long periods boucing the rev limiter were gonna destroy my next engine ... ?
There is any technical solution to make a "clean" rev limiter instead a bee*R like ?
I may say something stupid, but can I make it "regulating" with playing the ignition timing ... ?

You could get a three channel unit to actually retard timing instead of fuel as the PFC does.
Or use something like I do with the PFC. I use 8000 rpm max since my porting is almost stock.
Set the rev limit to something very high. It can go over 20K. I use 9999 rpm. Enter 99999 and see what happens on the map. Move timing and fuel columns 2-20 down to 1-19 and use 20 at less timing. I use 0 timing at 9000 rpm. Do not forget to change the map ref table. Thus if I go over 8000 rpm, timing drops to 0 with 15 spit by 9000 rpm but fuel remains the same.
Definitely gets your attention and power drops off.
I also use row 20 for over boost where timing also drops off and fuel dumps in to prevent blowing.

i have been thinking about rev limiters alot in general. I blew my engine my first day out due to ignition breakup at high rpms. I was retarded and now i ma paying. However this is the same thing that rev limiters do. So how does joon maeng's rx-8 sounds so fiesty without blowing the hell up?

Sir Braps A lot
on the PFC for drifting i would set the rev limiter at a lower setting so you dont over rev and spin the rotor bearings. IMO 7500 would be a safe bet what are your settings?

Hi,
Thanks for the input guys.
As soon as my engine come back in the car I'll try this solution and will save some money for a multi channel unit as it seems to be the better way to do it !

Cut fuel while on boost and your engine can blow up.
My way fuel cut would happen very high and by then timing has already dropped very low.

That is under deceleration tho is it not? when you are drifting you hit the rev limit while under a load and with fuel cut you wouldn't get a lot of backfire like ignition cut just what I think
