Bee-r Rev Limiter...not Working

[evlgtr]

I just bought a Bee-r limiter and its not working. I have an r32 gtr with a power fc and tried all the connections that have been suggested to me with no luck.

Has anyone had the same experience or can anyone help me in any way???

[R31Nismoid]

There is a wiring diagram, some one has posted it.

But honestly, is it worth killing your motor for?

R32 oil pump drives are fragile at best, if you cannot afford a new motor (and believe me, you WILL kill it)... then don't use one.

why are they so harsh on oil pumps? Ive read this before but can't work out why.

[R31Nismoid]

the way people limiter slap/abuse with a BeeR, puts massive stress on the oil pump drive/gears itself, literally smashing them.

[bozodos]

but since it's an ignition cut, how does that relate to the oil pump?

[R31Nismoid]

You can adjust the level of 'cut'. So you get popping/backfires/flames etc. All of these things put MASSIVE stress on the entire motor.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

the location of the oil pump is to close to the source of the vibrations caused by the bee r

[bozodos]

aha yes that makes sense!

I was going to get one until I read just how much they stress a motor out so no not for me personally.

swap green and yellow wires. in the past ive found theyre wrong in the diagrams, with PFC you also need to run to a seperate earth, you cannot use the earth in the ecu loom.

[geraus]

Do these work good with the PFC? i thought they are no good with the PFC? someone correct me . I wouldnt mind one they sound toughhhhh!

[evlgtr]

thanks boys for your help... i just spent waaaaay too much on my engine to take a risk with this thing....i think it might work if i do a separate earth like one of you suggested but even if it does work there are too many negative things that can happen to my engine to leave it in. so despite how crazy it may sound i might end up taking it out, i'm in a bit of a dilemma. but thanks for the advice, i'll keep you posted.

You bought it purely for awesome limiter bashing?

Don't people have mechanical sympathy these days? I can't stand hearing my car hit the hard cut even once because of the bang it puts out!

Here is some info i found which sort of related to Bee-r rev limiter

Spark Cut

Cutting the spark to an engine will stop any chances of a weak mixture occurring, but it carries it's own potential problems due to a large quantity of unburned fuel travelling through the cylinder and out of the exhaust. This petrol can remove some of the oil lining the inside of the cylinder, and pass it thorough the exhaust, again this only becomes a problem if the fuel to one particular cylinder is cut for an extended time. The best way to overcome this is to rotate the order in which the cylinders are cut.

The unburned fuel in the exhaust will have a catastrophic affect if there is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, as it will try to convert the unburned fuel to harmless elements, effectively burning the mixture. This causes the catalytic converter to heat up very rapidly, reaching temperatures in excess of 1000°C, and possibly melting down completely. Thus prolonged spark cut is not recommended for catalytic equipped cars.

ya the bee-r limiter is quite good, id use one over the pfc's one anyday. id rather burn a cat, then leaning out an engine imho.

[bozodos]

it's just the oil pump smashing thing lol

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

cars tend to last longer bashing pfc limiter than a bee r one

You do know what happens when the unburnt fuel ignites... yes?

The result is what will mince oil pumps... The firing of unburnt fuel.

BANG BANG BANG *cry*

[bozodos]

it'd be alright if it was just an RB20 thrasher or something, but yeah

I must be mis-informed. I was under the impression it was the other way around. hmm Well either way bashing the limiter is a baaadd idea.. baaaa
