bee*r installation
 
hi, i know its my first post here but i need an advice. i have made my search on alot of forum and website and i was wondering if its possible to install a bee*r rev limiter on a rx8 and if so how to do it. i just cant find the tach or rpm signal and as i saw on all my electric diagram theres no real rpm signal ..

if someone can help me it would be really great

thanks

idk what your trying to do here. can you explain a little more

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.

I was hoping it had something to do with beer. Color me disappointed.

i usually just drive it to the beer store and buy a case then put it in my 8. if i need to get a fresh keg i have to take my truck tho

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.

This is the kind of innovation we need around here . Good work !!!!!

why do you want this? Why do you think you need this?

TeamRX8 02-22-2013 06:07 PM

everybody wants moar bee*r :smiley309

matsuriii 02-23-2013 11:20 AM

I want a bee*r cause i want a safer cut off while i drift thats it .. if theres an other way to have a ignition cut instead of a fuel cut tell me. Bee*r can be use as a lunch controler to.

bse50 02-23-2013 11:24 AM

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.

REtali8 02-23-2013 12:14 PM

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....

matsuriii 02-23-2013 01:49 PM

Is there someone here who know an awnser to my question ? I know how to drift and i dont care about the lunch controler .. i just want the rev limiter .. is there someone who already put this in a 8 or not ? Thank you

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

bse50 02-23-2013 05:59 PM

will the op learn to spell LAUNCH properly?

The funny thing is that we all have the wiring diagram at hand...

ShellDude 02-23-2013 06:24 PM

beer limiter and lunch control

shouldn't it be:

beer control and lunch limiter ???

I'd love to see pictures of the remote keg hookup.

... ty for helping me so much

REtali8 02-25-2013 04:35 PM

You're welcome :lol:

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.

matsuriii 02-25-2013 08:48 PM

ignition cut is much safer than fuel cut .. and thats what i want.. i just want to know if i can do it and if someone can help me ill appreciate thank you
