It's a rev limiter.
Its the below:
This is Bee*Rs popular two-stage ignition cutting rev-limiter. It is used to prevent damage arising from over-revving your engine. Part of the reason for its popularity is the large flames and loud bangs it produces from the exhaust when active!
The way in which it works differs from the factory rev limiter in that it is an ignition cut, as opposed to a fuel cut. The reason for this is because if an engine (particularly turbocharged) regularly hits a fuel-cut rev limit (such as in high performance driving, or particularly drifting) engine damage can arise due to the lean condition produced when the original ECU shuts off the fuel pump. The BEE*R rev-limiter allows fuel to pass into the engine still, limiting engine speed by disabling the ignition signal. The Bee*R rev limiter is fully adjustable in 500rpm increments, for safety reasons allowing only a lower rev-limit to be configured than standard. If you have spent a lot of money tuning your engine, or are running at high RPMs for extended periods of time, it could be recommended to run a lower rev-limit to prolong engine life. Both Formula 1 and JGTC cars use ignition cutting rev limiters, so it is a fully race proven concept.
The Bee*R can also be used as a two stage rev limiter, as an aid for launching your car. The Bee*R is configurable for two different rev-limits. A lower rev limit can be activated by a switch, the handbrake switch often being used. This configurable lower limit, can be set to the optimum RPM to launch your particular car from in 500rpm increments. When the handbrake is released, the usual rev limit comes into action, allowing quick launches, and full performance down the strip.
The Bee*R rev-limiter has another final neat feature. The gain control knob allows you to adjust the frequency of the ignition cut. This in turn changes the frequency and sound of the flames and bangs from your exhaust!
What ye think?

a mate had one in his skyline
never had any trouble with it
nice flames from it to ....
you could get on to nick in cda as is is a dealer for hks

There was a topic on this on another forum, and cathy from trackday performance wouldnt recommend using the bee r limiter. this is what she said. you could get the mapper to map the ecu to make little pops and bangs??
As I said in an older thread on Bee*R Rev Limiters, you're just asking for trouble with one. The standard limiter will do less damage to the engine than a Bee R will IMO.
The BeeR Rev Limiters just randomise ignition timing, rather than cutting it altogether, which is one reason it makes your car pop and bang....and also just happens to fcuk up a lot of engines. I would strongly advise against using it.

lad around tallaght had one on a white 02 b4....stupid..why would you want your car to "pop" and "bang"..sounds nothing like anti lag..pointless waste of money..you shouldn't be hitting the limiter with an ej20 anyway torque has dropped off and you only asking for trouble
