Bee*r rev limiter problem

[Jersthecool]

Alright so I'm following the N02 diagram for an sr20 and spliced into all the wires then connected the appropriate colors to the correct wires, fired it up and it acts exactly the same as if I didn't have it installed. No light or anything even tried reversing the green and yellow wire and it still starts up and does the same thing. However I noticed when the car shuts off the red light will flash once quickly so I know it's getting power. I did cut the grey wire not any other ones. The only thing is I didn't connect the white wire to the ebrake cable but I understand the rev 1 knob should still work without the ebrake one connected. Any ideas?

I can't help, what I will say is be very careful running the Bee-R, I've heard some horror stories. Apparently it is possible to set it up in a way that won't end up damaging the engine and there are other mechanical precautions you can take too.

YELLOW
This wire is for the RPM signal.
GREEN
This wire is for the ignition signal
WHITE
This wire is for the side brake switch signal. jsut needs a ground input (re via a switch, hanbrake [or use it as for flat shifting via clutch]) this doesnt have to be used if you don't want too this is used for dial "REV 2" for launch control.



BEE*R dial settings and features below:

REV-1:
To set up standard RPM (your new REV LIMIT).
0 2500
1 3000
2 3500
3 4000
4 4500
5 5000
6 5500
7 6000
8 6500
9 7000
A 7500
B 8000
C 8500
D 9000
E 9500
F 10000


REV-2:
The white wire / white dial for launch control. It works using an external switch or signal ( inputting a negative signal).

GAIN:
Controls the engine RPM cut off setting. For example, 0 is off, and 1 through to F is the adjustment range. The standard initial setting is 6. The lower the number the quicker the cut.
e.g. 1 = bababababa through to F = BANG!!!... BANG!!!... IF you set the GAIN to 0 the limiter wil not function.

That's the exact same tutorial I followed. It says the white wire is a ground but doesn't have to be used... so idk what the problem is then. Maybe I'll just try to ground it and see what happens

[Chronox2]

Did you cut the cable behind the unit? 3 cables gray, brown and White.
4Cyl = Cut Grey Wire
Rotary=Cut Brown Wire
6Cyl = no need to cut


Also some links.

Hehehe I did this on my Z32, and it was a PITA to do it. I had to go to the Jap website of BeeRev and go to google translate to understand it.

So whats the way to set it up right then? Cause ive heard crazy stories too but was looking at getting this but didnt want to fuck up my turbo and what not. Is setting the gain lower better?

[leonkehoe]

After a bit of research here's what I'd suggest:

• Get a tougher set of springs
• Fit a RAS kit
• Set the gain to 1/4 or less

What I'd really advise is - don't fit it.

If you set the gain to a similar delay as the factory limiter. I cannot see how this will hurt the engine. If anything it should be better than the factory limiter since it is an ignition cut that won't cause a lean mixture.
