so for the people who have these how much boost are you making when the two step is enabled?

i know with most aftermarket ecu 2 steps you configure the amount of ignition retard, amount of extra fuel and rpm for operation and can make big boost on big turbo's for launch, but how configurable or useful are these standalone types that you are all discussing?

It will most likely hit full boost, whatever that may be set to

I know plenty of people that are using stutterboxes (fuel cut), and they make around 15psi

So I can only imagine, ignition cut will work a lot more effectively

I"m not really sure about the pros and cons of it.

I know that the Bee-R style simply cuts the earth from the system therefore the signal going to the plug cannot complete, hence no spark.

The Gizzmo style actually cuts signal going to each cylinder sequencially, therefore not dropping the same cylinder each time, which may or may not happen.

Dropping earth means that there's no control of exactly which plug gets dropped.

I guess the Sequencial would be better simply because it cycles between each cylinder.

I don't know which one would be better until you tested them back to back..

I reckon both make cool flames!

Turning them off wouldn't really be required, as if you are staging to launch RPM, which is probably going to be like 4500 rpm, you would be hammering your car anyway.

With the PFC, no. It's a complete stand alone unit, the PFC wouldn't even know its there.

I meant more from the point of flat changing because it would be shifting gears at full boost and I wouldn't want to constantly do this. I'm guessing I could just put a two phase switch between the power supply and the launch control.

Isn't the idea of these types of units to interfer with the signal going to the coilpacks and would therefore operate regardless what ecu you had. I know for a fact the Bee*r unit works with PFC because they installed one in the HPI r32 and it runs a PFC. I'm just not 100% sure on the gizzmo unit?

Yeah, that's what I mean. You install it, the PFC doesn't know it's there hence no changes are required.

With the Gizzmo, you cut the signal wires going to the plugs (from the PFC) and the signal goes into the Gizzmo and out the other side. When the Gizzmo wants to control rpm, it just doesn't allow the signal through.

Sh1t, these are so damaging for every aspect of your car, but I want one sooooo bad!!! My question is can they be turned off for when you want to only hammer your car and not kill it.

couldn't you just set the launch rpm higher than the redline rpm limiter?

edit: from what ive read, there is 3 knobs on the Bee-R limiter, Rev1, Rev2, and Gain.

Rev1 sets your redline limiter.

Rev2 sets the launch control limiter.

and Gain sets the frequency and length of limit.. setting gain to 0 disables the limiter apparently.

I don't see the point in wanting to turn it off.

They run off a switch on your clutch.

When the clutch is in, the RPM limit is set at say 4500rpm

When the clutch is out the limiter is like 7500 rpm

The only time you would encounter the launch rpm limit is if you had the clutch in, and dialed up more than 4500 rpm with your right foot.

The only time I dial up 4500rpm with the clutch in is when I'm about to launch pretty freaking hard, and it's then that you want the boost on board.

i was thinking the same thing, its not often you would have the clutch in and be anyway near the launch rpm...

yep, I just thought it would be easier to have switch so you don't have to screw around with the settings every time you want to use it.

set the gain to '0' and it disables the limiter.

Question:

Won't cutting the ignition to all the plugs with the throttle open (BeeR limiter) cause the plugs to get fouled? (ie. bad)

Whereas with the Gizmo one the plugs won't get as fouled cause they are still being sparked?

Call me stupid but how dos this affect the limiter when heel toe-ing down a gear....

clutch in, right foot on anchors and accelerator, heel toe to 6K for example, wouldnt it hit limiter?

But as mentioned its probably not a great device for track work, just drags

Jez

No, they both work almost identically.

The Bee-R cuts spark to earth, therefore all cylinders.

The Gizzmo cuts spark to each individual cylinder.

Both systems drop spark.

Both systems have the potential of fouling plugs, but it's not like you are sitting on the limiter for hours.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
