Pro's: Keeps larger turbo motors on boost during gear change, allows you to flat shift, flames and noise from the exhaust.

Con's: fouls plugs, voids insurance (if you have any), creates excess heat in turbo system and can cause major turbo failure, illegal, flames and noise from the exhaust.

I've got one on order from homer_rulz on ns.com

Thanks for that and yes i have full insurance on my car and in NZ the rev limiter does not void it and its not illegal.

and when you say can damage turbo surely thats with excess hitting the limiter and not just daily driving

Edited by r33madd

i think you are confused, there are a few concepts to the "limiter" device and how they work

type 1

yank the throttle cable and rpm will fly to whatever you set the limiter to, so lets say 4100rpm and wont go beyond. mash the pedal / pull the cable and it wont go past 4100rpm so you have consistent rpm for launch each time

type 2

same as type #1 but when it hits the set RPM it does spark cut so you get bang bang style antilag launch. when the spark it cut, it induces misfire which spool the turbo despite no engine load so you make boost whilst the car isnt moving. so when you take off you take off at 4100rpm with 1bar boost wound up in the manifold (lets say) and the compress its on full song when you launch.

type 3

type 3 is a hybrid and lets you have 1 & 2 but also gives you spark cut when you push the clutch pedal in so you can flatshift with antilag style changes. come time to change gears, pedal in, spark cut activates, boost keeps buidling, clutch out and keep going

-------------------

type 1 is just for consistent launches

type 2 will fry the exhaust wheel / cat and any parts along the way. it will shoot flames, make lots of bang bang noises, pop its ass off and generally be rally car style antilag

type 3 same as type #2

for type 2 you would want to have

- steel wheel exhaust wheel on the turbocharger

- no cat

- hiflow exhaust and big dump/front pipes

- a good safe tune and exhaust temp guage to watch the temps

type 1 - not sure, i think the bee *R does this for you

type 2 - gizmo launch interface @ www.apexi.com (under usa, electronics)

type 3 - gizmo launch interface @ www.apexi.com (under usa, electronics)

the first ill be buying when i have my evo is the gizmo box, the guys in the US/japland use these and can bring about 1.3 bar at launch

pros

will make kick ass launches

bring on boost without engine load

cons

noisey

need some precautions

not for street use

will annoy anyone nearby

need good traction to use the launch rpm / power

you are not far off, but the descriptions need a little work. basically there are 2 main types of rev limit employed in efi cars. 1. fuel cut (this is the most comon and is what your factory ecu or power FC uses). 2. ignition cut (this is what the Bee-R limiter uses, and PFC pro uses).

That is the only diference. The Bee-R device also incorporate a stationary rev limit. so when the car is not moving it will limit revs at a different point than once moving. so you can set a stationary rev limit of say 4500rpm for launch. so all you have to do is hold your foot flat on the floor and it will keep the revs at 4500 (and the resultant missfires will help build some boost too), once you have release the handbrake and started moving it will enforce your regular rev limit of say 8000rpm.

It will not allow flat shifting as it does not cut ignition on gear changes.

What you describe as type 3 is just an ignition cut style limiter and will cut ignition when the clutch pedal is depressed and cease cutting one the clutch pedal is released. this will cut power to the engine momentarily to allow you to select the next gear without lifting your foot off the throttle. I dont see it of that much benefit to be honest as you are still shifting using the clutch, and if using a synchro box you are limited in how fast you can shift by the synchros more than anything. plus when shifting at high rpm, there shouldn't be much delay in response when you get back on the gas. it would probably give a small improvement though. and the less responsive your engine/turbo package, the more benefit you would get. I'm not familiar with the gizzmo unit, but if it does what you say then this is how it would work.

I'm not sure if you will find any info on the gizzmo unit at www.apexi.com. Gizzmo is a NZ company. I think they have their own website somewhere.

yes, which is a fancy way of saying it's a stationary rev limit (executed by way of ignition cut). ;)

oh, i must be blind too. there is a whole section on gizzmo on apexi-usa. lol

its not stationary its secondary.

reason I say that is it doesnt have to be wired to the handbreak.

mine is wired to the clutch so I can flatchange gears. :)

Did not realise this, so does that mean that bee-r rev limter can also be used for flat shifting if wired to the clutch?

My sons Datto 1600 uses a Wolf with ign rev limit and a second limit for launch and flat shift and even tho it has a GT30R turbo it makes over 20PSI standing still sounding like a war zone.Been in the car a few times with Commodore drives giving him a hurry up but when he uses the launch control they gave up the idea when they hear it.

has always wonder this, which styled rev limiter is softer than the other?

i was under the impression that ignition cut puts less stress on the oil pump as well as turbine wheels.

that is true, the unburnt fuel igniting cant be doing good for zorst on the turbo.

theres arguments for and against, the main one is that a fuel cut has potential to cause a lean condition, and others argue that no fuel = no combustion, so its not possible.

Hahhahahahaha!! YES!!! thats the only reason why i want one. I just want to scare the commodores off so they settle down and leave me alone instead of giving it a hit on the street.

I wonder what boost my rb30det with gt35r will make with it standing still?

Oh and if you have the crank collar modification for the oil pump then the pump shouldnt have any issues should it ? (running stock rb25det pump)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
