Pyrorocketeer Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Rev limiters prevent bent valves... not when you mis shift into a lower gear they won't..... EDIT: lol.... i'm dumb.... I totally skipped over your post compuvision...... yeah, what he said.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 That's what the restrictor is for... ...but it doesn't help if you really slam the gears hard and fast, you go straight through it. Hense why I shift like a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 does anyone make something like the z-gate shifters for hondas? pretty bad ass device, but not so practical for a dd as it would get annoying real fast. would definitely limit the 3-2 issues though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that, I think I asked someone and they said they did not make them. It'd be sort of cool to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that, I think I asked someone and they said they did not make them. It'd be sort of cool to have. no, not a plate. It is a whole new shifter assembly. it only goes forward and backward, but each flip forward and backward moves the gear up one level. To go backwards you have to purposefully squeeze a trigger and flip the shifter back and forth with the trigger held down. I guess a better term for it is a ratchet shifter. Very common item for domestic muscle cars, I am suprised no company has started making them for tuners yet. Here is a link to a whole page full of them for domestics: Ratchet Shifters btw, what is the recommended psi for those tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well, for a street driven car that is raced sometimes, not worth it. I am going to run 12psi, no idea on recommended, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 lets invent the mechanical rev limiter pyro , lol. well make it so the tranny will pop the car out of gear if car revs past a certain set point , for example the infamous 3-2 shift , lol.

mycarsux Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Or how about it locks up the wheels so that the idiot who does a 3-2 shift hits their head on the steering wheel, lol. it also adds some negative reinforcement to learning how to shift well. haha. wow i'm bored.

compuvision02 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Eh, 3-2 shifting isn't always because the person can't drive, it just happens. When you are racing, you don't have the same feel as if you are just daily driving. I had no idea I was going into 2nd, because it flowed, no restriction or anything. When you shift hard and fast, anything can happen, regardless of your ability to drive. I personally gave pressure toward me, which made me go into 2nd instead of 4th, but it felt like 4th.

Pyrorocketeer Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 lol used to do that stuff on purpose in the rail, and it would howl the rear tires. (on pavement) the engine sucked so much of a vacuum that it would only rev up to a certain point when down shifting, then after that, it would force the tires to slow down, even if the car didn't want to.

I know exactly what you mean, but as soon as I let off the clutch my foot was right back on. I was lucky. My car wont let you shift down like that either if your RPMs are too high. Honestly I think its just do to shifting super F*cking fast. I'm getting a short shift adapter. Also I am not a big fan of small wheels but those look good on your car, (nice car) and I like the OEM CF hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few bent valves led to my new valvetrain and camshafts. My car won't let me downshift at a certain RPM either, if I tried to go into second at 7000 in 3rd, it will restrict it, when I am shifting normally. You start banging gears for races and it "snaps" like a twig and you are in 2nd. Thanks for the comments man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 it would still be freakin hilarious to watch, hahaha ... Are you serious dude? I really hope you 3-2 shift WHEN you get a car, IF you get a car, and I can laugh in your face when you have to tear your head apart. Lucky me, one of my best friends is a mechanic and had my head apart that night; lucky me, I got money fronted to me to fix the valves and some; unlucky you, seems like you'd be S.O.L. from the way things are going at this point with you and your "car deal." What's been up with you lately? All these smart ass comments and wise cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
