BEE R REV Limiter

Has anybody had one of these? Just seen one for sale and was wondering on what thoughts people have about them

supra already has a rev limiter, what would you use it for, to make it even lower?

nope, Its an addon to the stock and instead of cutting the fuel pump off it just cuts the ignition giving a pop and a flame.

this gives a better description than i can muster

ive heard rumours of these killing engines lately. I would steer clear personally as there is no real point to it. If you want flames on tap then get a flamer kit if you must.

so really it's just for effect, a gimmick

well it's your money...

The point behind it is as a "two step" limiter for launching - particuarily auto's, 1st rev limit is your overall rev limit. Second is your launch limit. You usually set this to around 2000rpms, and the limit is released via a switch i.e. handbrake or as some in japan use a wheel mounted switch set around 3500rpms for 1st gear on manuals. So put car in drive, press Accelerator to the floor and it will bounce at 2000rpms, let handbrake off and away you go..or into 1st and when you have traction switch it off

Dosnt do any damage as it just an ignition cut - hence the flames created as the injectors still fire during the cut period.

I believe the mk3 in this clip runs it, you can here it hit the limiter low down for in the 1st second or so of the launch (you can see the back end bog down during this) and when the tractions down to the rear tyres it comes off and away she goes

ahhh ok so it's not all for show

I guess it might be ok if you want to improve your launches? but you will probably need a better tc system to get the most out of it, and some come with rev limiters and launch options (although obviously they cost more)

Thanks for the info guys, still not sure though, more thought required
