Gizzmo one needs the Shift light as well.

Bee-R cuts the entire ignition circuit on and off as required.

The Gizzmo is sequencial so it shuts down cylinder by cylinder.

Factor in the $300 odd for the Shiftlight for the Gizzmo.

PS. If you get the Gizzmo one, I want a full review cos I would love to get one.

BASS OUT

I have both, 200 for the shift light, 170 for the launch controller

Haven't had a chance to wire them up, but as soon as I do, I'll give you a ride in the car Pete :(

(I'm hoping to get some 1.7 60ft times with it hooked up)

Dark, is this also a 0kmph rev limiter? I don't want the rev limiter cutting in when moving. Also is it easy to turn off?

Does anyone know of a proper rev limiter like this one without the shift light? And by proper I mean one that shuts down individual cylinders, not the whole ignition circut.

Thanks guys (oh and sorry if I have hijacked this thread)

It works on a clutch switch

So, it only activates the limiter when the clutch is in, so it allows you to flatshift, and keep full boost

You can always hide the shift light in your glovebox or somewhere where its not visible.

If you want something like what you described, Wolf/Motec/Autronic should be able to handle something like that

The Gizzmo also has a rev-limit function.

So there's the clutch limiter and total rev limiter.

The shift light is big, and I wish they made a smaller one.

I was considering pulling one apart and remote mounting the L.E.Ds so that you only have a little L.E.D in the corner of your dash.... That's the ultimate in stealth

Problem is I have a powerfc and a datalogit so its not viable for me to change the ECU.

After something small, that cuts revs with ignition cut, and yeah, minimal stuffing around to install. Wish I had a powerfc pro, or they kept making them :(

i came up with the crazy idea to use datalogit to edit the aircon-on idle RPM to around say 3000rpm in the FC then disable the aircon system (fuse or something) then to activate the launch rpm turn on the aircon (even tho system disabled). the FC would kick up the RPM as the A/C switch is ON and sit at whatever RPM you dialed in but as soon as you tapped the throttle it would drop again. and it could be unsafe, but more than 1 way to skin a cat

:sorcerer:

FC pro exists for r32 and is $1400 brand new from nengun.

you would have to flip the two injectors that the ap engineer guys do.

also load your default 25 maps or current tune. the rest should be fine.

but you will loose the VCT if you do this

actually ill add that to the FC faq as an alternative for the FC Pro on rb25det

its a shame the rb26 FC pro was discontinued, if you can find one of those

you could use that on your rb25, would give you the following

working airtemp

support for twin afms if you want

support for twin 02 sensors if you want

pro functionality

VCT wont work

Paul,

You would need the airflow from the open throttle to rev to 3000rpm.

I think.

The idea is not so much the revs, but the masses of fuel pumping into the manifold and the wide open throttle.

Problem is I have a powerfc and a datalogit so its not viable for me to change the ECU.

Can't you wire up a clutch switch to the datalogit, and use the antilag? Ovisly you won't get the ignition cut rev limiter.

Antilag is meant to work when your foot is OFF the throttle

It would kind of defeat the purpose of hooking it up to a clutch switch

i read that it dosn't work off the tps, but off the clutch switch. so when the clutch is in (launch, gearchange) it retards the timing and goes bang bang.

But apparently it dosn't work, so that fixes that.

i cant see that being useful on a launch, on gearchanges, yes

do you really want to retard the timing while you're trying to rev/accelerate?

Retarding the ignition heats up the exhuast gas, hence spinning the turbo faster.

That's how Anitlag works. Lots of fuel, retarded ignition.

I thought it retarded timing rather than ignition?

When the driver lifts his foot from the gas pedal the ignition timing is altered with sometimes 40° or more of delay (retard) and the intake air and fuel supply mixture is made richer. The inlet butterfly is kept slightly open or an air injector is used to maintain air supply to the engine. This results in air/fuel mixture that keeps getting in the combustion chambers when the driver no longer accelerates. The ignition being delayed, the air/fuel mixture reaches the exhaust tubes mostly unburned. When the spark plug fires, the exhaust valve is starting to open due to the ignition delay mentioned above. Additionally, the exhaust temperature being extremely high, the unburned fuel explodes at the contact of the exhaust tubes. Luckily the turbo sits right there and the explosion keeps it turning (otherwise it would slow down since its intake, the exhaust gases, is cut-off).

I've just confused myself even more

I'll shut up

379 from otomoto.com.au

bought mine secondhand off yahoo auctions for $80 delivered. Chucked it on my N/A RB20DE with a "race pipe" (no need to worry about ceramic turbines) and scared the ba-jeezus out of everyone when the clutch got dumped.

It now resides on a CA18DET in an actual race car, so its sorta well suited. Which reminds me, there's different Rev Limiters for different engines, RB and CA are the same though.

If you hook the handbrake signal cable up, then you can dial in 2 different max RPM's before cutting ignition. Really good for drag racing, sorta pointless on the track.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
