Adding Launch Control to VR-4

[mills_88]

4.5k does bog imo, i think 5.5k is the best option. And i thought rhys' legendary time was 5.5k launch lol.

 

[Buckas]

it was in the post before the vid. somewhere between 4.5-5k. im still waiting for the clutch guy to get back to me...

 

[mills_88]

I stand corrected.

 

[chrisssss]

don't the B rev limiters stuff up the turbos but they do sound sick on skylines and have seen flames coming out the the exhausts

I think Shamren (shambam) has one in her Galant? Hasn't reported any problems as far as I'm aware?

legnum with launch control.

Would not that be nice - flat pedal gear changes = max boos all the time hmmm no spool up time what so ever.

I believe there is a stationary rev limiter in the code, but its set higher than the normal rev limit.
Not had a chance to prove this yet.

Hi Dave, I found two possible limits in an xml on geekmapped (could be yours actually, can't remember) at address 10341 and 10343, opening the hex file they look like they could be correct as they are both slightly higher than the main rev limiter but then they could even be a higher number for higher gears (my old turbo astra had a higher limit in the 3rd onwards) so who knows.

Are these the addresses you are looking at? Also do you know where the code would be to switch limiters, I haven't found that

Anyway, I get my car back tomorrow but I probably won't get a chance to play (read test ecu parameters) with it till next week, so I will change them to low values and see when they take effect.

 

[bradc]

What are those numbers?

 

[TME_Steve]

The numbers are what I hope are the addresses for the stationary rev limiter within the ecu (except that there is two, so who knows)

she does.....from what she was saying i got the impression that the car doesnt like it too much but ill let her comment on that

 

[unclepaulie]

the Bee-R in shamrens car causes CEL as the bee-r inrupts the ignition signals, so the stock ECU must hav a heartattack and think its misfiring.

 

[Guest]

so would installing one of these and getting the ecu re-tuned, solve that issue?

 

[unclepaulie]

i think thats something merlin or kat can answer

 

[steveP]

yeah i would also like to know experiences with BeeR's on vr4's. as im planning on getting one, as i can never hear the car over reving with the stock exhaust.

I've highlighted the problem for you.

 

[steveP]

lol i know. but ive had no cop attention for the last 1.5 years driving the car every day. i think the stock exhaust has had a lot to do with that.

 

[SLY-031]

Yeah but nah.

Mine isn't stock, but it is quiet at idle, and only barks when giving it some stink.

"high flow" cat, two resi's, oval rear muffler.

Almost the same system as the new car too.

 

[steveP]

well when i get my exhaust sorted, do u recommend a bee r limiter?

mind u im not gona be trashing it or hitting limiter often, maybe the occasional hills run or when i forget its in tip tronic mode lol.

 

[unclepaulie]

steve is yours auto?

my world is crashing down around me


bee-r rev limiters dont like exhaust wheels or cats...so i wouldnt be doin it often, but f that, it sounds cool so do it!
