a slower climb will not make it to the limiter as fast, thus increasing the delay between fuel cuts. so i dont' understand how that can make anything faster?

depending on the level of part throttle we are talking about, the climb rate is more subjective - it can be much slower than at WOT throttle or also most the same...

 

I think we are probably talking about 2 different setups. I set my rev limitter at 8500 and my rev limiter recover at 8499. In this case, the slower climb really just reduces the amount of overshoot. If I set the recover RPM lower, then I could see how the slower climb at part throttle would slow down the oscillation.

 

same as gernby i softened up the timing and got it down it 8600 and i've softended it more but i haven't dataloged since the last change

here's the latest results

first cut was at 8455 (in 4th gear)

2nd @ 8600
3rd @ 8561
4th @ 8551
5th @ 8600
6th @ 8542
7th @ 8522
8th @ 8600

 

[QUOTE=gernby,Aug 5 2010, 09:29 AM] I think we are probably talking about 2 different setups.

 

The higher recovery point was not to soften the rev limiter. I just didn't want to pay any unnecesary penalty for riding the rev limiter at an autocross. If I'm going to ride the rev limitter, I want it to stay as close to 8500 as I can keep it.

 

I finally got my setup and was looking at the tables. Gernby, My Hondata stock setting put rev limiter at 8200 for the AP2, and Silver the VTEC window is 5900-6400. It does not appear that timing is retarded at all near the limit. Unless I'm misreading it, it is still max 40 deg advanced at the limit.

 

i guess launch control is a bad idea

what if u cut ignition instead of fuel?

My friend has an ignition cut on his n/a si it shoots huge fire balls

 

You would not want to cut ignition instead of fuel, since that may fuel wash your cylinders, contaminate your oil, damage your catalytic converter, and create a lot of soot on your back bumper.

 

You would if you're trying to keep a turbo spooled

Yes back from the dead.

 

How would unignited fuel help keep a turbo spooled?
