Is it safe to rev limit a GSR on a Type R ecu ?
Hey whats up I got a question about putting a Type R p73 Ecu in my GSR.
Is it safe to red line on the Type R ecu in my GSR ?
GSR red line - @ 8,200 rpm
Type R red line - @ 8,500 rpm
Let me know some input please.
Thanks

yeah, what intake manifold do you have. if you have the stock gsr manifold, your gonna lose a lot of power. i'm running the p73 on my gsr, but i have a skunk IM, and about the rev limiter, i wouldnt do that unless you replace the stock valve springs. i've done it a couple times, but its not a good feeling.

jdm ef8 ran an R ecu in his basically stock gsr...lost a ton of midrange power when the throttle butterflys usually switch over if i remember correctly and overall the car just didn't run as good. it is a waste of money unless you go skunk2/blox/whatever IM and get a set of cams at least slightly more aggressive then the stock gsr cams...
