Milo500 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi guys, I have built a 550bhp ish auto originally twin turbo, single mk4. The problem is, autos are notoriously slow to get off the line until on boost hits (which I noticed at santapod), and I'm trying to think of a way to solve this issue, if not just better it... Is a Bee R limiter in anyway worth it? As it cuts ignition not fuelling, does it work similar to a 2 step system? Can you set it at a certain linit? As holding on the brake and accelerator in an auto only let's you get to 3-4k before the wheels start spinning (and in a single it is ofcourse not on boost so is very sluggish off the line)...ideally I would like to leave the line slightly on boost, so any opinions fire this way Is using one damaging to the engine? (I know it will be to the turbo). Are there other options? (I know a small shot of nitrous below the boost of the turbo would work, but is alot of faff for just below 4k rpm on a launch). Ideally if someone has a link to an install guide or has done one before and could give any advice on how good it is etc I would be very pleased Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 What ecu are you running. Can you not have a launch control mapped on. Bee r rev limiters have a awful reputation and I'd personally stay away especially with a single turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo500 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 For the power I'm running there is no real need for me to be running any more than my greddy emanage...as all I wanted at the time was just fuel and ignition control... What's their bad reputation if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Give it a sniff of nitrous, EVEN BETTER with a dedicated launch map from a better ECU. Then brush up the autobox bits and apologize about the oil slick on the start line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Diffsalot Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Have you a standard torque converter? ive a similar problem in a 520bhp 1j and from reading online a high stall torque converter will fix it. Garage whifbitz have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garage whifbitz have them I do have a standard torque converter, however my issue is ofcourse not having boost low down, so how will a high stall converter gain me more power lower down?

What turbo do you have fitted and what is the spec of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 What's that awful noise??? Oh, it's just old Aisin Warner under there, whimpering and shuddering..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't gain you more power but will allow you to get higher revs while left foot braking to get you're turbo on boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We had a PI 3600rpm torque converter with a Boostlogic built auto, although it helped launching the car at Santa Pod, it sucked on the street to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo500 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 It won't gain you more power but will allow you to get higher revs while left foot braking to get you're turbo on boost I guessed that, but the thing is, for the price of a high stall converter (1k at whifbitz) a bee r or a wet 150 shot of nitrous would surely give a better result? Especially for the cost? Also I drive this car daily...and the turbo is a new Turbonetics TNX 45/64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
