Yes it can cause damage IMO, it messes around with the spark signals, possibly causing them to fire at the wrong time, plus that means lots of unburnt fuel will be going though your engine and exhaust (this explodes causing the bangs).
Q. What does bee r rev limiter do?
Bee-R the limiter stops the ignition when reaching the maximum speed so that the mixture can not be degraded as with a conventional limiter. This is often used in motor sport (WRC, F1). Bee-R the limit switch is fully adjustable in 500 rpm increments from 2500 to 10,000 rpm.

Q. Is bee r rev limiter bad?
straightliner said: Bee R is a hard cut ie ignition cut rather than Soft cut = fuel cut. The Bee R does cut the ignition but, it isn’t a hard cut limiter. A hard cut limiter will cut the ignition or fuelling dead, thereby stopping the engine from revving and reducing rpm to a safe level.
Q. What does it mean to hit the rev limiter?
A rev limiter is a device fitted in modern vehicles that have internal combustion engines. A limiter prevents a vehicle’s engine from being pushed beyond the manufacturer’s limit known as the redline (literally the red line marked on the tachometer). At some point beyond the redline, engine damage may occur.
Q. Can you put a rev limiter on your car?
Modern cars have rev limiters built into their ECUs, and classic Fords running aftermarket ECUs have this luxury too, but if you’re still running a distributor-based ignition system then you can still set a rev limit by fitting a standalone unit.
Q. What happens when you put a rev limiter on a car?
If a manual transmission is shifted down too early, the speed of the vehicle will drive the engine over the redline. In this case, a rev limiter will cut engine power but it cannot prevent the engine’s RPM from going beyond the redline.
Q. What do launch controls and rev limiters do?
Rev Limiters and Launch Controls To protect your engine from catastrophic failure, a rev limiter prevents it from exceeding a certain rpm, usually with a combination of reduced fuel flow or dropped spark. Launch controls also limit revs, often constraining them between a high and a low value for an optimal standing start for drag racing.
Q. Why do you need rev limiters for drag racing?
(14) Sold as a kit. (2) To protect your engine from catastrophic failure, a rev limiter prevents it from exceeding a certain rpm, usually with a combination of reduced fuel flow or dropped spark. Launch controls also limit revs, often constraining them between a high and a low value for an optimal standing start for drag racing.
Q. When is the second stage of the rev limiter activated?
The second stage is activated after launch to set a higher RPM limit for wide-open-throttle acceleration. There is considerable variation between manufactures on where to have the redline for their engines: from 100 to 12,000 RPM.
