I have had my omex limiter set to hard cut for a while now, and as you would expect the loud bang when hitting it is very fun, but will it cause any long term damage if I do it too often? Cheers.

CV joints may not like it that much!

set the soft limit up 400 rpm lower and try to change gear before the hard limit

S2Steve

As far as im aware that wont work, it is either set to soft or hard, not soft then hard? How will it affect cv joints? Can it cause any top end damage?

Jay,

id think cutting the spark at high revs continuosly cant be it much good

hasnt the omex got a shift light facilicty or just change gear that bit earlier ?

I imagine this is the stand alone omex clubman unit (just rev limiter) rather than a whole management system jay

S2Steve

YEs indeed, its just the clubman limiter. I Can't personally see how cutting the spark and running rich for a matter of secodns can damage anything too badly?

You can get huge torque reversals on the camshafts, which isn't a good thing.

A rev limiter isn't a toy or a target, lol - it's still preferentially to the alternative though....

Ginge !

even when you remove the rev limit some engines still have a natural rev limit, my old 1300 escort would never make the factory limit in 4th or 5th gear

ok its fuck all use to this thread but theres never another time ill get to post this pointless bit of infomation

S2Steve

So what your saying is i should set it to soft cut at a limit which i will rarely want to put my cvh near anyway (6kish). Thats no fun though lol
