hey guys i hope this is the right spot to post this, im a newbie on this forum.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR MY DRIFT CAR (A31 Cefiro, Rb20) I DONT HAVE A CAT SO DONT SAY OH ITLL SCREW UR CAT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

also, please no useless posts, i just wanna know wether to get 1 or not becoz the group buy seems cheap and ive always been thinking about getting 1, now the chance has come.

Just wondering, bee r rev limiters, i understand they are good on the inside motor side of it. what about when ur exhaust is combusting fuel, is it treating the turbo ok? is there any down falls to getting one? im not doing it for wank factor, if u guys all say theres no use besides wank, then i wont bother. but i want a reliable drift car.

I bought one these for the purpose of flat shifting, I have a micro-switch hooked up to the clutch pedal and everything. When I try to flat shift, the gears won't slot in, I've tried doing it at different rpm's but still the same result. If you can't do this I don't see the purpose of them. Maybe this is just my car, maybe its just the way I have set it up but IMO its not worth money. You'd be better putting your money aside for something useful ie. water injection, lots of toluene.

Another thing I've noticed when I normally shift with the micro-switch engaged the knock the level jumps by 8, and this is with a very conservative tune only running on 8psi until I finish the rest of the mods. So if you put this on a motor already on the limit that gets flogged around a drift track I can see the knock value jumping dramatically. And your motor will be more than likely pinging it's tits off ending in certain destruction.

the benefit of the Bee*R over the standard limiter is that it cuts fuel rather than ignition so theres no leaning out in the cylender, but if it detonates in the exhaust housing of the turbo this could cause some problems over time, but it should detonate in there coz its cuts ignition, not to say it cant happen but in theory i guess it shouldnt!

there is no real benefit to them apart from the flames. fuel cut rev limit is not bad, and your engine does not lean out. the rev limit cuts fuel completely so there is no combustion at all in that cylinder. the only positive the bee-r limiter will give you is some pretty flames and some banging.

now its really early in the morning, and ive had too much coffee... but i thought the bee r limiters cut ignition, not fuel.. hence the overfueling and causing the flames.. as a mechanic, i can say that an engine doing 9000rpm, then having its fuel cut is a recipe for detonation.

the limiter is designed for launches.. so you can set it at your desired launch rpm, hold the throttle wide open and it will hold it at that rpm so all you have to do is hold it flat and dump the clutch. im pretty sure you can set it to a certain rpm to act as a rev limiter, aslong as its before the standard rev limit.

just buy it, who cares, id pay $200 to pop a flame.. its heaps fun.. i could do it in my garage all night long! while your at it, get an ecu that can control anti lag and get that set up.. wake every bastard up at 2 in the morning in your street.

just remember, if theres a reason, no matter how small it is, its worth it.

cheers

My car is running it at the moment.. and its one of the best mods I have! It just sounds so aggressive in real life, you tube

videos dont do it justice....

If i banged the rev limiter ready to launch next to a VL or something at a set of lights, i believe hed either take his seatbelt off

open the door and run or jst turn into the nearest driveway so that he doesn't bother...

However, im sure its good for the engine but i just want some clarification on what its like for the turbo... im running a Garret GT 28-76R...

ball bearing.

Thanks

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
