Tach reading would be taken from the ODB II/CAN bus.

To effectively increase or lower your rpm limiter you have to tune the ecu.

the bee*r is a rev limiter and i just want to know if someone already installed one in a rx8. the bee r is a ignition cut, not a fuel cut like our stock rev limiter. it needs a tach signal aand a ignition signal. so if someone can hook me hup it would be great thank you

Thread-jack: I install a Heineken 5-liter mini-keg via bungee cords and zip ties as close to the back of the rear seat as possible, run the hose and nozzle through the rear seat pass-thru, under the rear console and into the rear cup holder area.

I've done this in my Volvo, the 8 and a few other cars with a covered cargo area. Works great camping, fishing, and even skiing if you can park close enough to a trail. Being in the rear passenger compartment doesn't make it any less illegal, but it does prevent me from reaching it while driving, which would be a bad thing.

A lunch controller is called diet.

Drifting isn't about lap times, you don't need a launch controller. You actually never need a launch controller in a car whose torque can be measured in newton-hamsters instead of nm.

As for the cutoff\limiter... you don't really want an ignition cut either. Especially if you're bouncing on and off the limiter. You don't want to ever cut either fuel or spark in that instance. Just learn how to drift properly and avoid over revving.

Going back to the thread jack... Could we jury rig a rev limiter to a breathalyzer? 1 beer rev limited to 8k rpms... Six pack puts it in valet mode?

Just a thought....

You can use the cobb AP to limit rpm.

shouldn't it work the other way around seeing as beer makes you a better driver ?
1 beer -1000rpm limit
2 beers - 2000rpm limit
etc etc

By 9 beers you are qualified for 9000

You're welcome

Anyways, as a few have stated this isn't something you want to be doing to a rotary engine. Ignition cut is going to cause massive dumping of fuel into engine and cause violent backfire when ignition kicks back in.
