robots Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I will need to do a drift show in the end of the month. Showing off is a must. I was thinking of using my friends Bee*r rev limiter. Of course there are a lot of scary stories about bee*r being the ultimate engine destroyer. But on the other hand, some people use it and their engines don't pop. So either their doing something right, couldn't be pure luck ? Want to know what you guys think about all this Bee*r thing. How to not kill an engine using it? (anticipating everyone talk me out of this lol) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270133-any-tips-how-no-to-kill-an-rb25-with-beer-rev-limiter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilt-Toy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 the best way to not kill your engine with the bee r limiter is to keep it disabled. these things are very harsh on the engines. If you must use one, then make sure you have a decent external oil pump setup and a decent harmonic balancer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270133-any-tips-how-no-to-kill-an-rb25-with-beer-rev-limiter/#findComment-4596011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 the best way to not kill your engine with the bee r limiter is to keep it disabled. lol EXACTLY what i was going to say If you KNOW they kill motors, why even ask the question. Its not as if there is some 'magical' way to stop the product from doing what is was designed for (a harsh cut, which is what kills motors) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270133-any-tips-how-no-to-kill-an-rb25-with-beer-rev-limiter/#findComment-4596020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilt-Toy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 why don't you just rig up a spark plug in the exhaust and get it tuned on 10afr ?

robots Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Haha. Make this thread a joke. Remember the D1 BNR32 RB26 with Bee*R revlimiter and the old bnr324 bee*r car with light tuned rb26 ? All of them were bee*r equipped. I guess in the end its just luck if your engine survives, as I thought.

R31Nismoid Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 ^ do you know for a fact they didnt have motor problems? No. Same as people probably didnt know back in the day of the turbo's on the mountain that after qualifying the turbos was rebuild/swapped before the race and they had only just done a qualifying run, but had totally shagged them by running 35+psi. Just because something appears to be running fine for a race, doesnt mean its happy campers later that night Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270133-any-tips-how-no-to-kill-an-rb25-with-beer-rev-limiter/#findComment-4596127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

STATUS Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 increase the cut frequency, slow long cuts are bad fast rapid cuts are better with the bee r if you HAVE to use it.

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 dont bother... just get a decat pipe, and when you hit the normal limiter it will be loud enough anyway Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270133-any-tips-how-no-to-kill-an-rb25-with-beer-rev-limiter/#findComment-4597446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRIFT Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 we have just put an apexi power FC pro on a mates car. it cuts ignition not fuel on the limiter. it does it this way as the Power FC pro has launch control. one other feature it has that we didnt realise is when backing off it dumps fuel on over run and shoots massive flames. this is on a race car by the way. after seeing how good it worked i considered the Bee R but after a few quick searches it looks like a crap pice of gear. So besides every one saying its just crap what are the technical down sides and also is the launch control any good on it? sorry to hijack Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270133-any-tips-how-no-to-kill-an-rb25-with-beer-rev-limiter/#findComment-4597512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
