Help! Wiring The Armtech Rev Limiter

[m.i-man 0]

The instructions are simple- Clamp the GREEN wire to a good chassis earth. Select the two wires which are connected to the ignition coil and crimp a blue T-splice connector (supplied) over each of the wires using a pair of pliers. With the ignition switched off, plug the RED wire into the T-splice connector on the positive (+) coil wire and the BLACK wire to the negative (-) coil wire

 

My problem:- I have more than one +12v and -12v on the coil, which ones do I use?

 

Edit:- I'm using an mi16 coi on an 8v looml, so it has about 200 wires going to it!

The coil will have four connectors but two are negative and two are positive and therefore effectively it is only two connections so you can use either + and either -.

 

The Mi16 coil has the pins arranged as ++-- and they are labelled too.

Awesome, I wondered if it was that simple, but I didn't want to risk messing it up

 

 

Cheers muchly!!

Yup, it works... back fires a bit when it does mind. Guess that's normal!

I guess thats unavoidable for a spark cut limiter as opposed to fuel cut, your exhaust baffles probably won't last too long if you bounce it off the limiter regularly...

Ah right, didn't realise they do fuel cut ones. May invest in one on the future, but then tbh I rarely hit the limiter, so will just see how it goes.

 

Thanks for the help and the educational lesson on types of limiters, very handy.

I think fuel cut is only applied by proper ECUs, rather than stand alone rev limiters, although I may be wrong...

 

Some ECUs have 'soft' cuts which cut fuel or retard ignition timing whcih are then followed by a hard cut.
