Overclocking the ECU

I was browsing and MR2 forum recently and saw they are swapping the 3.5 V6 into MR2's. A guy on there mentioned an overclocked ECU (he seems legit, as he was posting a write up on his swap with pics and all the steps involved) and he said he bumped the rev limiter 800 rpm.

Has anyone heard of this!? I'm in!!

You DO realize that "overclocking" refers to something completely different, right?

Haha.

I mean, it's technically possible to OC our ECUs, just requires a bit more understanding of it. Typically for most cars, you can use a timing controller to change a few degrees of timing based on RPM and airflow. The rev-limiter thing is changing the crystal in the ECU to a higher MHz.

But then again, I'm not so sure it'd be worth it.

In the computer it's called CPU (Central Processing Unit). Just like a car, Ur computer also have a cup holder... press the button and the cup holder extend out. And the mysterious "Any Key" is still unable to be found anywhere.

Ok...I know you can overclock a computer. But the guy said "Over clocked his ECU" to raise the rev limiter. I didn't say I wanted to do it, but as it relates to the camry, I wondered if anyone had ever heard of it.

Geez.
