Tune fitted
Hay all
Just fitted my ECU i recieved from SKR today the cars feels so good its rev limiter has been raised aswell to 7200rpms. Is this ok? Aswell the added limiter definatly makes the car feel faster just goes hard in the higher revs really happy.

Hmmm, OK I'm envious and think I want an SKR tune too - so it was a postal tune? Is it designed for any mods or still stock engine?
Now you have to do another 1/4 mile run and see if or how much quicker it is!

That sounds good. Think i need to do this to the ralliart. Just need to decide if i want lumpier cams or not first....

I thought the stock cams on the non-Ralliart models ran out of puff about the 5-5.5k rpm mark. Increasing the rev limiter wouldn't really achieve much then would it?

I think it was the tune, not the rev limiter increase that changed the way the car revs. Also on a Ralliart it still has a drop at 5500, it's just not as bad. haha

7200 probably is probably starting to valve bounce, actually, about 500rpm sooner is. the car would be making sfa power up that high to. i also hope there is shit loads of fuel being dumped in after 6 as well.

Talked to steve night at SKR. He said to me thats wat they did with all the race magnas that wanted the most possible gain. it feels amazing and he said yes the engine can handle the rev limiter increase just dont sit it up there all day so yeah really happy. Yes this was a postal tune for 98octane fuel. No 1/4 mile done yet but will definalty be a quicker time then my PB.

After all that must of just been a feeling swapped old ecu back car runs basically the same no gain in performance ill have to give steve a call see wat the go is?

Wait so you put an old untuned ecu back in and it's exactly the same? What about all that stuff you were saying about how good it was =\
Is there even a change in fuel consumption at least? Very interested in SKRs explanation.

even if it did have the increase (about a max of 10kw atw) its the same as driving with the ac on. really not that noticeable anyway. i believe that more than most of the "difference" felt from tunes like these is a placebo effect. though some might say 10kw make the car hugely different. and before anyone starts carrying on with "i got 13kw from an skr tune" just dont, 10kw about is the average, from what i have read on these forums (and a very generous one at that).
