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.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
