Bee*R 1ggte installation ?

[Brawler]

Hey guys

Got a Bee*r half installed on my car, running gen 3 1ggte.

wee bit stuck tho.....

I have wired up the 12v, ground and the RPM signal (yellow wire) up.

The light on it comes on at 2500rpm (like it should to start limiting)

But I can't seam to work out where the "Ignition signal" Wire is.
From what I've read you slice into the wires, not cutting it in half and joining 2 ends etc...

Also I haven't wired up the handbrake switch, Do i need this going to make it work?


So just wanting to know what ecu pin i connect the ignition signal wire to

that may help, its for a 1jz-gte but it tell you that you need to tap/splice into the (Ne) pin on the ecu. The white wire is so you can use the bee-r as a 2 step launch control but you don't need to connect it for the rev limiter to work.

Didnt work for me on my 1ggte, Tryed a few wire combos, just never seamed to work in the end I did find NE+

strange, I just finished insalling one on my gen 1 1ggte and it works a treat perhaps try a tuning shop or auto electrician.

i could never get mine to work on my gen 2 1gge with gen 1ggte ecu and loom. will be trying again in a few weeks on a gen 2 so ill post the results.

is the water to air ic anygood gttwin , very responsive?

Ive heard of them working on the early 1GGEs.

gttwinturbo What ECU wires did you splice into?

[gttwinturbo]

Please forgive me if the image I've posted is too large I'm computer retarded, thats how I did it on mine and it works really well. So give it a go, it is a universal part and the japanese instructions that came with it actually had a pinout diagram for three 1GGTE engines-86.1 - 87.12 (MT & AT) (which I used) , 88.8 - 93.4 MANUAL TRANSMISSION (MT) ONLY and 88.8 - 93.4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AT) ONLY. *** IMPORTANT*** the Bee*R instructions said that the rpm signal should be taken from the IGf pin (pin 8 on the second ECU plug) this DID NOT WORK for me so I spliced into the IGt pin (which is pin 8 on the FIRST ECU plug) as pictured.

So to make this unit work you need:

12V+ : RED WIRE
GND : BLACK WIRE
RPM SIGNAL : YELLOW WIRE TO IGt not IGf
DISTRIBUTOR SIGNAL : GREEN WIRE to Ne

so if you're doing this install on a later model 1GGTE or 1GGE (same diagram so same pinouts Id imagine) you need to locate the IGt pin to get your RPM signal from *hint* if you have an Apexi SAFC or RSM like I do the you can splice into it's RPM signal wire because the Apexi units use the IGt pin as their RPM input, so if you can't find a pinout diagram download the SAFC/RSM manual and it will show you where the IGt pin is.

For the RPM signal, IG- coming from the negative side of the coil seamed to work, had the bee*r flash at me when the rev range was right to cut it...

thats the ecu pinout i have been using... Theres no NE+ only "HE"

Hmm okay bear with me here, im just going to try and match the Japanese symbols. According to the instructions it should hook up like this:

Distributor signal/Green wire: pin 10 on the first 26 pin ecu plug but that (according to your diagram) would be S1 ECT, so that can't be right

If I was you I'd try all the pins from the distributor. 16 pin ecu plug: pin 16 (G-) , pins 1,2,15 on the 26 pin ecu plug. It's gotta be one of those.

True true, I must have the yellow RPG wire correct then?

[gttwinturbo]

As long as you had the light on the Bee*R flashing at the set RPM then that should be fine for the rpm signal.

[Brawler]

Sweet, and the other thing that bothers me, is what way that diagram shows the pinout, is that like looking at the ecu with the plugs in?

[Brawler]

Tryed all the pins again, no luck

You should post a video so i can at least hear what a 1ggte bee*r sounds like

I never had mine working on a gen3 ecu either. It sensed the correct rpm, and seemed to try and cut the revs, but never worked 100%

[gttwinturbo]

Im sure there must be a way to make it work, I can't see how a 1g would be different from any other engineconfused: possibly have a look at how its wired up to other toyota engines (3sgte comes to mind)
