we all (well most) know about the Bee-r rev limiter, some success storys and people that swear by it, and others that hate it, but found an old demon tweeks catalogue and there where other makes of limiters on there, just wonder if in general, they are all the same thing, or has the Bee-r become more popular/mainstream because its got somin better?

What the Bee*R rev limiter does is cut the ignition instead of the fuel like a standard rev limiter, so in essance you are putting unburnt fuel into the exhaust, both ways of limiting the revs are bad for the engine. just a case of which evil you choose

In essence hitting a conventional rev limiter is also bad as it momentarily leans the engine. The BeeR has advantages and dis-advantages, the fact that it's two stage so you can set two limiters (one when handbrake is engaged) means you can use it for a very basic launch control, set the BeeR to say 4,000RPM e.g. , disengage handbrake and off you go, not forgetting you could just do this with your right foot.

On a worn out CT9 they won't do much good, bigger or new turbos can take more of a pounding but most CT9's will be worn if they haven't been rebuilt considering some are over 15 years old. I have used one but I don't feel the need anymore a) as we have launch control and b) she's pops and flames naturally :)
