What does a MSD rev limiter do?
A rev limiter works by using a module or a switch on the ignition that will hold the RPM at a desired limit. It does this by monitoring the engine’s RPM and once it reaches the limit it will drop the sparks to different cylinders in order to hold the RPM at the given limit.
What are the benefits of an MSD Ignition?
Easier starting, improved throttle response, reduced plug fouling, more power and increased fuel economy are all benefits from the 6A’s high energy multiple spark strikes. Unlike the stock-type inductive ignition systems, MSD ignitions incorporate capacitive discharge technology.
How do you set the rev limiter on a digital 6AL?
To adjust the rev limiter of the Digital 6AL, remove the black cover next to the LED by prying up with the supplied screwdriver. The dial on the left is for 1,000 rpm increments, on the right is for 100 rpm increments.
What is the point of a MSD box?
MSD’s ignition boxes feature Multiple Sparks at lower RPMS, along with a stronger, hotter, higher voltage spark to completely ignite the mixture.
Does hitting the rev limiter hurt the engine?
A hard limiter cuts either the spark or more commonly the fuel, halting combustion and robbing the engine of all its power in an instant. That’s what creates such a fierce effect when you hit one.
What are the benefits of a MSD 6AL?
The powerful multiple sparks of the MSD 6A ensures complete combustion. Easier starting, improved throttle response, reduced plug fouling, more power and increased fuel economy are all benefits from the 6A’s high energy multiple spark strikes.
Is it OK to bounce off rev limiter?
Registered. Hitting the rev limiter while on the gas should be fine. Your rev limiter is then doing what it should be doing; preventing your engine from revving too high. If things are designed properly there is no reason you couldn’t bounce off the rev limiter all day.
