Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Can i suggest not to worry about how much power you're producing (or how much anyone else claims their car produces), or trying to work out why your car is twitching - bouncing off the limiter isn't very kind.
from the look of the money you've spent on the car, spend 1/10th of that on driver training and you will get a LOT more out of the car.

True words gavdavs... these thing r hard to drive with lots of power im driving around and just change before full boost comes in... its more then enough at the moment. Until someone trys to race u and u always cant resisst... bad bad i wont do it until i gain skills becos im no good. Should of keep the mr2 na that why so easy to drive at its.limit.

North Wealds aint far from you and you get a big square of tarmac near an airfield to go nuts on. Can't recommend it highly enough.
If you have a rev counter and a shift light and your still hitting the limiter then the only real solution is training.
As others have said, regardless of the 'twitching' hitting the limiter all the time is not good for the engine, especially when cold. So if your change you LSD you'll still be left with other issues.
You do know that the accelerator is not a digital control? I.e. It does have more states than fully open or fully closed

Your problem can be solved with the ecu, speak to your tuner.
Thanks rs tunning mapped it to be honest i think they rushed the map as its running very rich and stalls when starting in the morning... didnt sort the charger cooler with enough water and air was trapped causing hot temps still made 445bhp at 1.4bar but its working... :/
Ok sounds like a remapp

"Honda deliberately adds extra fuel after 8400 RPM (the stock S2000s power peak) to drop the Air/Fuel Ratio down into the 10s. This artificially limits the power peak to 8400 RPM instead of the engines true peak flow potential at 8800 RPM where 8-12 more horsepower is available. Honda does this to reduce the likelihood of an average owner bumping into the fuel cutoff at 8900 RPM"
An example of what a manufacturer does, not saying its right in your case but gives you an idea.
