hi all new to this forum,
currently m working on building my own ignition rev limiter in my rb20de skyline.
ive just recently put a kill switch in to kill the power to the coil pack, which means the car still turns over but it wont start untill the switch has be activated.
anyway back to the limiter. ive found out that there is supply voltage going straight to the coil pack and it stays the same throughtout the revs. my ca is equipt from factory with a fuel cut which is not so good for the engine, the fuel cut limits at 8100 rpm which is fine cause i never on purpose go that high, i want to install a ignition rev limiter at either 7000 or 7500 rpm. i went and recorded the current going through the main power feed to the coil pack and at idle it was about 0.4 A, at 7000 rpm there was 1.75 A, at 7500 rpm there was 1.86 A, i then went to find out exactly how high my fuel cut limiter (8100 rpm) was and it blew the 2 A fuse in my multimeter :/. anyway im looking for a compnent that will limit the current flow but wont effect the voltage as i need a good steady voltage to ensure a good, strong and consistant spark from the spark plug.. preferbly i would like some thing that could direct the excess current to say a LED so i know when im sitting on the limiter. im trying to create a cheap solution for one of these.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE4wtsMjHTA&feature=related
any help would be greatly appreciated cheers guys
