Rev Limiter

What does rev limiter do to your engine?

Rev limiter is a brilliant little black box that throws a CURSE on your engine RPMs. But, it’s a type of a good curse. Let me explain the trick. Revving in the red zone time after time causes more wear and tear. In that range, your valves end up kissing your piston.

Will the rev limiter hurt the engine during the misfire sequence?

During the rev limiting mode, the rev limiter absorbs all the energy of the magneto and the magneto can not cause a cross fire condition in the cap.

What happens to the engine during rev limiting?

The cylinders that are not firing will pass the fuel/air mixture out the exhaust system.

How safe is this limiter with a turbocharged or blown engine?

It is completely safe as the rev limiter prevents crossfire in the cap.

Will the rev limiter save on the torque converters life expectancy?

It will definitely save on the damage of the stator, sprag, and impellers as well as ballooning.

What will the rev limiter do to my turbocharger?

It will raise the exhaust pressure and create more boost on launch (hang on).
