D13 HPD 95 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi all can anyone shine some light on what an omex rev limiter and launch control system does and how? They are £90 and look alright but the only thing i can see it do is causing a misfire and flames spitting out the exhaust ?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPig Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Correct! The rev limiter works by cutting the spark to the engine and limiting the revs, when the power is back on the un-burnt fuel ignites in the exhaust hence the flames. The launch control is a pre-set rev limit you specify, so from standstill you floor the throttle and the engine will hold at a certain rev limit. You dump the clutch and away you go.

b1g_dav3 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Goon on a racecar, bad on a road car. Cars with launch are for track day use really, not every day. Unless you want to look like a twerp. Unless you go on cruises and such, in which case fair play to you and it might be a worthwhile addition.
