Im looking for a rev limiter. Never had one before.
However today i was racing a bit and Somehow ended up past 8k rpm and then lost power for a sec. However everything seems to be ok. Maybe the stock ECU just shut down for a sec. I was looking at some on ebay the BEE rev limiters are over 200. then i saw some for 50. What will work with the rx7 Since it has two coils? I know nothing about rev limiters And want something cheap that just works

Probably the cheapest fix would be to get your stock buzzer working.

Get a 7 inch tachometer with a gigantic shift light on it and mount it to your dash with wood screws

Well, I know that the S5 n/a has a rev limit. Not sure what it is, but i know the Rtek for it can up it to 9200.

If you can't hear it then it is not working properly, which again goes back to my suggestion of fixing it.

Why am I getting the feeling that you can hear the shift buzzer just fine, but you really want a rev limiter so that you can mash the gas pedal and drift, burn out, or do something else stupid that will end up blowing your motor?

Anyway, the best rev limiter I am aware of is the TEC3, which is what I would use if I were to build a show car.

That lack of power you felt for a second was the stock rev limiter kicking in. What more do you want?

The BEE-R rev limiters are supposed to be really good but they are kind of expensive.

From seeing all the videos on youtube of the Bee*r, to me its worth the money LOL.

I don't get why people are sweating aftermarket rev limiters. You have one from the factory, as well as a damn rev buzzer. Why waste $200?

Evil Aviator

So you can install the rev limiter and line locks and burn rubber at the Nopi Supershow like a true dorifto fan boi. Shift mad quick yo!

Look. The buzzer works. I caught it a few times. The buzzer is so faint that its bascly not an attention getter. If i have the windows up i can hear it more. But I am looking for a rev limiter. Not to fix a buzzer that dont need fixing. ty and agian please dont bring my buzzer into this agian.

I want a rev limiter. and i got people telling me to fix my buzzer.

I want a rev limiter around 7k 7500k rpm. I want to be able to adjust it. Besides my car likes to throw blue smoke if i rev to much. And i have a led foot i cant control. So i need a Rev limiter to do it for me! :P

Well it didn't feel like a stock rev limiter. Besides i dont want a stock rev limiter at 8k rpm. I want to Bring it down. I GOT BLUE SMOKE AT 8 K tryin to save those oil control rings for the summer at least. NoW can someone just post some good cheap after market rev limiters.

Just looking for someone with real advice here. A lot of smart *** **** so far, Besides the one guy that says he would go for the BEE r Rev limiters. at least he added something about rev limiters that i might be looking for!

Some MSD ignition controllers come with rev limiters. They wont give you the crazy backfire like the bee R but you get an ignition box/rev limiter for the same price.

Well as far as i understood. Rev limiters cut the spark. Fuel takes to long. So i think Most or Not all rev limiters might cause backfireing when the spark comes back online. Well at least with most rx7s.

There are a few issues here. First and most important, the FC has two ignition systems; trailing and leading.

Most rev limiters and CDI boxes have no idea what leading is and are designed for cars running cylinders and distributors.

I have seen threads where people have used the Beer/B**r/Bee*r/whatever on the FC but no one has yet explained how it works. Putting any retard box on the leading has no effect on the trailing.

Why not just learn right foot pedal control?

You want to lower the rev limiter from around 8500 to 7500? Seems oddly pointless and an unnecessary waste of money.

So whats more spendy? Rev limiters that cut the power to the EGI injectors. Or the spark?

Ok. Everyone has already said it but the stock rev limiter and buzzer work perfectly fine. If you can't hear it, your exhaust/radio are too loud.

If you REALLY have to get a aftermarket one, get one that is a spark retard/cut, not a fuel cut. If you get one that's a fuel cut, you'll find yourself replacing motors pretty often. The Bee-R limiter is a common one used as its a spark cut. The only problem with this is that because of the timing retard, the exhaust heats up a great amount. This can make holes in headers of n/a's and blow up turbos.

If you REALLY need a rev limiter, I'd recommend going to 2 MSD 6AL boxes from the stock ignition. It's a bit costy but one of the only ways I would ever put a aftermarket limiter on my car if I were to install one.
