Bee*R Revlimiters? Anyone Running one?

[a98pmalcolm]

Hay all. Hope everyone had a good time at the POD. I was working and couldn't get it off

 

Anyway, for a while iv been looking at these Bee*R Revlimiters. Other Supra forums they seem to get a liking but only pre-installed, no official opinion on them after installation.

 

Has anyone had experience with them at all? They have a launch control feature and they also cut the ignition not the fuel so you get pops, bangs and flames. Its all adjustable on how you want it. Would they be able to run with an aftermarket ECU i.e: Syvecs

 

Not to expensive at £150.

Some Info on them:

This is Bee*R’s popular two-stage ignition cutting rev-limiter. It is used to prevent damage arising from over-revving your engine. Part of the reason for its popularity is the large flames and loud bangs it produces from the exhaust when active!

 

The way in which it works differs from the factory rev limiter in that it is an ignition cut, as opposed to a fuel cut. The reason for this is because if an engine (particularly turbocharged) regularly hits a fuel-cut rev limit (such as in high performance driving, or particularly drifting) engine damage can arise due to the lean condition produced when the original ECU shuts off the fuel pump. The BEE*R rev-limiter allows fuel to pass into the engine still, limiting engine speed by disabling the ignition signal. The Bee*R rev limiter is fully adjustable in 500rpm increments, for safety reasons allowing only a lower rev-limit to be configured than standard. If you have spent a lot of money tuning your engine, or are running at high RPM’s for extended periods of time, it could be recommended to run a lower rev-limit to prolong engine life. Both Formula 1 and JGTC cars use ignition cutting rev limiters, so it is a fully race proven concept.

 

The Bee*R can also be used as a “two stage rev limiter”, as an aid for launching your car. The Bee*R is configurable for two different rev-limits. A lower rev limit can be activated by a switch, the handbrake switch often being used. This configurable lower limit, can be set to the optimum RPM to launch your particular car from in 500rpm increments. When the handbrake is released, the usual rev limit comes into action, allowing quick launches, and full performance down the strip.

 

The Bee*R rev-limiter has another final neat feature. The gain control knob allows you to adjust the frequency of the ignition cut. This in turn changes the frequency and sound of the flames and bangs from your exhaust!

 

Available for use with all rotary, 4 and 6 cylinder engines. (No V8 application)

what i have heard from a member they are ok if you just want to make the car limit, ie pop and bang but not much else but it ended up causing the engine to melt a piston.

You wouldn't need one with a Syvecs. It could be set up to do all that.

Id never fit one of these , I remember seeing a thread on driftworks a long time ago asking why they did not sell them and owner Phil replied something along the lines of he knows of at least 5 engines being lost to it and would never sell them.

doesnt seem to be as good as it sounds by all accounts...

[Darragh]

They are great Craic and sound amazing but it cost me a full engine rebuild from head to toe and turbos and all died a horrible death so it was took out and sold on , I would not recommend them unless your using it for it's proper use

[a98pmalcolm]

Doesnt sound to good for the engine then.. And if syvecs management can be set up to act close like it theres no point getting it as im going syvecs management this year.

 

Thanks for all the advice with it

[sideexitsupra]

Check exactly what you want the Syvecs to do with Ryan G.

 

I know from the Whifbitz race cars that these units are incredibly flexible and powerful when set up correctly.

Yer im getting Ryan to fit it and map it on my BPU set up and will talk about it with him the day I go.
