Hi

seen this item brought up in the "tailgating thread" and thought id look on youtube to see what it was.

http://www.bee-r.com/main/rev/index.html

didnt realise that device can cause the same effect as having no cat on teh exhaust.

Few questions also

1) is this harmful to the car in anyway??

2) can u turn the Bee*R rev limter on and off or is it constantly running like that untill u remove it?

3) how much do one of these cost?

4) does this give "any" performance gain watsoever or is it just for the show off factor?

thanks for you input.

Sounds awesome but apparently blow motors

so in saying that having no cat coverter is safer with the same effect am i right???

i just heard a few GTR's on a cruise i went on with that sound and the whole flame thing happening

really looks appealing to me and sounded awesome imo

its basically an anti-lag box, as the name imlpies, takes away lag on launch

it retards the timing off the planet at launch and provides spark cut launch control

so the turbo is wound up heaps, thus you get "boost" at launch

1) is this harmful to the car in anyway??

if you have a cat it will fry it, if you have cermaic exhaust wheel, it will fry it

2) can u turn the Bee*R rev limter on and off or is it constantly running like that untill u remove it?

yes it has an on/off feature

3) how much do one of these cost?

maybe $300 tops ?

4) does this give "any" performance gain watsoever or is it just for the show off factor?

it provides boost at launch rpm, if you get the power down without wheelspin it would provide good launches.

i dont like your chances in rear wheel drive, but good luck

i ran one before, didn't really do much cept spit flames into peoples open windscreens.

From memory...

1) probably but depends on how you use it

2) yes, just set the bee*r rev limiter an RPM higher than your standard rpm limit and it'll never hit...

3) around 200bux nowadays I think?

4) mainly flames/bangs... from the ignition cut vs fuel cut - which is apparently better...

oh and as mentioned.. launch control. although personally you i belive you run slower with it on haha

funnily enough i've just noticed my old avatar is still here showing bee*r rofl

the bee R limiter is actually better for the motor just not the turbo

normal limiter kills fuel so theres still spark

bee R kills the spark but the injectors still spray in the fuel, thats why they blow big flames out the exhaust.

Its much safer for an engine to have fuel still pumped into it on the limiter than the spark still igniting with no fuel.

On a side note, they WILL destroy ceramic wheel turbos (stock turbo) and your cat will go bye bye

i just finished building an engine to replace one that had been wired with a Bee*R limiter.

all its conrods were bent the bores scored and had almost three mls of carbon build up on the valves.

the engine is still on the floor of the workshop in pieces.

anyone want a boat anchor????

Yeah but other then that how awesome is the flames and the gunshot sounds from the exhaust! :D

Would love one if the didnt do so much damage..

Except the fact that causing incorrect combustion situations the motor wasn’t designed for and explosions in the exhaust (that aren't meant to be there)…

Which is putting FAR more stress on the motor especially using stock parts (not just the turbo)

One or two times probably wouldn’t do much damage, but extended use overtime… I don’t wanna see the insides when its pulled down

The Bee R Limiter blew my forged motor. If the Bee R factory was in melbourne that built these i would've blown up the factory.

These things have blown MANY non standard/built engines netheralone stock ones!

Dont buy one. Just punch out ur cat. :D

bee-r limiters dont kill motors, the idiots sitting on limiter do...

if used in moderation they are fine, but excess use will hurt your motor. but then again excess use of any limiter at high revs will damage a motor

as i was saying above, the engine had only done 1200 kms from its last rebuild.

the limiter is the worst thing in the world for any engine, factory limiter cut's fuel,

the Bee*R limiter cuts spark and because it can be set below factory limiter it keeps pumping in the fuel and the following picture is what you end up with.

a 4500 bill from the likes of me the engine rebuilderpost-50030-1208930695_thumb.jpg who's laughing all the way to the bank

because people wont listen to common sense.

most drifters i have seen have them. u can hear it...and see them in the dash.

a mate has one on his 180 with stock turbo. only thing bad that has happened is he now has a gutted cat.

question to the technical ppl.

i have a gt3540 with straight thru -decat-.

is there ANY way i will damage my turbo. i know it will only effect the turbo exhaust wheel and back..

is the 3540 up to the challenge?

cheers'

ps. how do they hurt motors if it only effects the exhaust?

Edited by r33cruiser

I'm not 100% that the BeeR blows engines if used properly.

I probably wouldn't use them on a drift car, but I would (and have) used one on a normal car.

It brings you up to boost standing still, and this doesn't blow your engine. Cant.

you can also set them up to be a flat shift control by adding a clutch switch to your setup, therefore cutting engine spark during gear changes, and hence REDUCING the load on your drive train.

Sounds wierd, but I've driven a GTR with this sort of set up (but a MOTEC) and it works brilliantly and feels more like an auto than a manual. No let up in accel at all. It's actually quite awesome to drive.

i dont see how it would put more stress on the motor itself. For example, fuel sprays, theres no spark, the piston still goes down on its "power" stroke and when it goes back up it would blow most of the fuel out the exhaust valve on the exhaust stroke. Abliet there maybe some fuel vapour left over, but its just going to get more fuel on the next stroke anyway. There wont be an unexpected explosion inside the cylinder, its just that when the system ignites its next power stroke it ignites the rest of the fuel in the exhaust.

Could be wrong, but thats the way i picture it

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
