looks quite good and was thinking about getting one. just wondering if anyone has any experience from one?

 

[butch20vt]

think that is very similar to a wot box ?

 

[turboholic]

hmmmm thought so. anyone got one?

 

[sheps]

Off topic did i see you on track at combe a few weeks back?

 

[turboholic]

probs yeh. forge action day?? on track this saturday at combe aswell

Its different to a wot box, have a read of the description

Wot box is for clutch-less gear changing and holding boost through gear changes, plus launch control

This is different

Its a rev limiter that still allows fuel to go through by not cutting fuel at higher rpm's, giving bang bang and flames at high revs

They sound mad on tuned jap cars, never seen one fitted to a seat though

 

[fourtwofive]

im interested as this sounds unlike wot box.

 

[p34ch3y]

ive read somewhere a few people bending rods with these

imo id stay well clear

 

[Berg]

Are you sure your not thinking of a wotbox

I cant see how this can do anything to engine internals

Its just a rev limiter which allows fuel to go in and ignite

At worst maybe the extra heat could potentially cause long term stress on the turbo/manifold due to the heat but engine internals shouldnt suffer surely.

 

[p34ch3y]

yea berg sorry i was thinking wot box

Says in the ad that you need an aftermarket ecu

 

[Berg]

Its says additional wiring may be needed if you have an aftermarket ecu, works on standard ecu

Some addional wiring may be required if using in conjunction with an aftermarket ECU

 

[turboholic]

Hmmm think i might get it and see what its like. Shouldnt do any damage should it?

 

[CupraSean]

be very interesting to see how this turns out, we be nice to have just for the sound of it

 

[cuprabaz]

Wot box is for clutch-less gear changing and holding boost through gear changes, plus launch control

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE gear changes not clutch less.

 

[Berg]

I thought it could allow gear changes without the clutch aswell as not having to lift off the gas?

Seen yanks on youtube doing that

 

[Pyro]

Get it let us know how it is as I'm like g the look of it

 

[cuprabaz]

I thought it could allow gear changes without the clutch aswell as not having to lift off the gas?

Seen yanks on youtube doing that

As far as I'm aware it's the activation of the clutch switch that triggers the ignition cut taking the load off of the engine/transmission to allow WOT shifting.

 

[Berg]

Oh right my bad than

This does look interesting and from what ive seen alot of people only buy wot box for the bangs and launch control and to show off lol

This bee r limiter could be a safer way to get that i can see it becoming popular once a few people bite the bullet and buy one

 

[ibizacupra]

apart from those who suffer engine damage...

did'nt a guy on here explode his engine the 1st time he used it?

full throttle, abrupt off loading with an ign cut, and back on again?
think about the stress's involved and ask yourself will my Standard engine cope with this?
