Has anyone installed a Bee R Powerbuilder into a v3 STI?

[Hypebeast]

Hi guys, I want to install a Bee R because they\'re getting real cheap. I have read on the forum that it is more of a hassle then it\'s worth to install into a Subaru.

I haven\'t done anything like this before so I\'m pretty clueless.

From what I have found is that Subaru have more than ignitor one wire and you need to join them together with diodes attached to the Bee R unit.

Anyone have first hand experience?

Yep borrowed my old one off my mate when I did the drags, have a loom plug sitting under the carpet to plug it in if I ever want to use it again.

Can\'t remember what wires I used now but could check when it\'s lighter. Was dead simple to install

That\'d be awesome!

I don\'t think my car has a rev limiter at the moment because I missed 2nd and it revved past the tacho!

Stinger did it with V5 iirc but diff to V3 Id guess.

[Roo]

There\'ll be a difference but not much, I found a diagram on the gizzmo website that has a pinout of the v3/4 ecu and just has marked all the important pins for installing accessories that need ecu signals

is it a launch control type thing? if so it looks awesome!

Yip. 3 way better versions come free with a G4.

Found this on a drifting forum.

Managed to get someone to translate. Matching it to a ECU pinout I have I get the following.

For GC8 from left to right it goes

RPM - Yellow/Green

Crank Angle Signal - White

ECU Power - Yellow/Lime

Seems easy to do. Did you hook rev 2 up to a clutch switch or the handbrake?

I set rev 1 to maximum (like 12k or something?) and had a small push button switch attached to the gear knob to earth the \'handbrake\' wire and activate rev 2 for launching only

Did you have to wire in diodes? I have a unit waiting for my time to install! Might do it while im wiring up afx controller.

[Roo]

No diodes, the ecu doesn\'t like them too much though, threw CAS codes and if I held it on for more than a couple seconds the ecu would kill the motor. Worked fantastic for its purpose though

Mmm.. Did u ever try use it as a rev limiter rather then launching?

[Roo]

Yeah set it at 7k a few times and boosted it. Was fucking cool, huuuge bangs, fills the street with black smoke from the backfire.

I managed to make clouds as wide as state highway 1 just out of town

Lotsa of fun idgaf if they reckon it shortens engine life, completely worth it

any v5/6 pin outs? I\'m buying one of these things!

I put it in today and it\'s not working properly. It just revs to a bit over 2k and cuts the ignition slowly no matter what I change rev 1, rev 2 or gain too.

I used two 1a 1kv diodes and spliced into ignition 1&2 and ignition 3&4.

With Rev 1/1 and Gain set to 0 it drives normal but when I turn the bee r on. Say put rev 1 to 4k and gain to 1 the car idle changes and it feels like it\'s going to stall.

Heres a vid
