Bee-R limiters?
 
I know this must have been mentioned here before.
But does anyone have any long term experience with one of these on their cars?
My car has no CATs anyway and I just want the sound effects because they are cool :)
Understandably bouncing off the Rev limiter for long periods of time isn't good for any engine, I'm more concerned about instant catastrophic engine damage like bent valves? Detonation? Blowing my intake manifold off?
Thanks guys!

Had one on a old skyline for a while
Depends how much you use it and at what levels you set it
Putting at the redline on max gain is going to cause issues but set it at 4-5 k for some tunnel fun and should be OK
But then these engines are not as robust as the Rb series

Hmm from the research I've done it seems like the best advice is to keep the Rev limit and gain as low as possible. Will maybe give one a try, ideally I would love to have an ESL board with pops mapped into the ECU but need to save for that unfortunately.

I have one inside my scooby and haven't had any issues and have abused it many of times keep it set to 4500 and it is good for if your doing pulls used launch control for the pops and bangs and no issues there either when it goes bang it does it in style and scares the sh*t out of you foot and a half flames 😁

These used to get mentioned quite a bit on the Skyline/drift forums and those cars don't seem to have much issue with them.

Every thread I have ever read on Scoobynet or similar always seems to end the same way though: with major engine issues.

Personally I'd save your money and spend it on an ECU further down the line.

Scoobs are fragile as is cant see bashing hard limiter cuts in doing them any good just to get pops and bangs.
