Bounced my motor off the rev limiter really hard and the Nitrous gave a shot on the top. Fuel cut limiter and Nitrous w/ fuel are not nice

100 hp shot. The system is supose to shut off at 11 pounds of boost. However I was on the limiter really hard. I've done that 100 times before. The theory we have is that while on the limiter, the boost became eratic and turned the nitrous back on for a micro second. You guys all know what that does in a rotary!! LEAN AND BOOM!!!

650 for a new rotor, 650 for a new housing, 1000 for a rebuild kit, 2300 worth of damage. Glad it worked out for you in the end.

200 for a rotor, 200 for a housing, 1000 for rebuild, 100 in misc. = 1500 worth of damage. Thanks for your concern.

P.S. yes it was worth it. It was worth twice the price for what I learned in tuning and set up for the mistake.

all the more reason for no rev limiter! just use the handy rev-buzzer at your intended redline. Sorry for your loss though, that really sucks.

Let this be a lesson to anyone attempting to use NOS, bring up the limiter as high as possible on your ECU's and also put a rpm window switch on yout NOS system, this will allow the NOS to only activate within a specified rpm range, and will prevent this from happening.
