stationary rev limiter
why does the stationary rev limiter work and then decide it doesnt want to abide by the set rpm? It caused me to do a launch at 7000rpm and i know my transfercase wasnt happy and i had to fight the car sideways for a good 300ft or i would have ended up in a ditch?
Basically it works but if you hit it to long it stops working and just hits the engine rev limiter instead? Anyway to fix this?

the stationary rev limiter doesnt work that way tho. you dont need to push the clutch in to activate it. i think what happened was my car was rolling to fast and the ecu decided i was no longer in a stationary position. I have it set to 5800 and that is about 6000 when its said and done.

Well for launch maps you can set MPH for them to be activated...
Stationary Rev limit your car must be at and stand still.
where you moving when your rev limit went up?

I dont use launch maps and yes it did it before with the cars ebrake up so it was not moving. not sure why it does it. if you hit the limiter to many times it seems to do it. when i launched this time tho yes rolling 2-3mph at best. Theres a bug somewhere causing this or something. Never played with launch maps yet, i might mess with them later on

and btw 2step is just a slang term, it not a real definition. The only reason mitsubishi made a stationary rev limit for factory is because they found out people were dumping their clutches and causing the clutches to die before the cars even hit 1,000 miles. So they got sick of replacing clutches under warranty and released the roms with updates. The very first evo's did not have stationary rev limits.

I also seriously doubt that the reason for rev limiter being lowered in the later Evos is the one listed above. You could still can still dump the clutch if the car is rolling a bit and thus with a big enough idiot that change wouldn't do very much.
But given enough reasonable proof that could be true. Where's the proof
?

i dont have any proof. Its just i believe it was back in 2004? when i was in a nabr channel on irc and a few of them guys had evo's back then, i couldnt afford to own a evo tho at that time, and they were talking about how mitsubishi was complaining of all the issues occuring with the evos. like the freeze plugs flying off the waterpumps and other stupid stuff that shouldnt have been occuring. they said they had about 2 evos a week come in with clutches slipping with under 1,000 miles on the cars. and they were talking about how they were chatting to the mitsubishi employees about it and they said they were releasing a ecu fix to help control/alter the issue. of course wasnt it set to 4-5k factory anyways? so thats still enough to do damage....
i only ever made the mistake of dumping a clutch one time in my evo and it felt like the engine fell out....
but even slipping it, im not trying to go for anymore 7k launches. im sure the rear axles were not happy one bit.

. If you just keep the car stationary with no clutch in, and rev you hit the regular limiter. Clutch in is when you hit the stationary limiter.
