Rev limiter on the brake pedal

Jim Cimarolli · 04-20-2009, 05:29 PM

I had a real nice fool proof set up one time with a switch on the shifter and a brake pressure switch, I was told to remove all of it at tech right under the tech guys nose or "go home". "One switch" was his answer.
But who knows what the rules will be at your next tech lane experience,,,,,,,,,Good Luck.

Jimbo, What do you think someone would say ,if you stepped onthe brake near the finish line ,and they heard the rev limiter come on?

Mark,

I guess it would depend on who that someone was, and who said they didn't hear it.

I have mine wired identical to Mark's (micro switch located at the back of the shifter to open the two step switch circuit) except the two step switch is connected to the factory brake light switch. It has been wired that way for a really looooooong time......I hope I don't run into an over zealous tech man....the wiring in my car is exposed, so I could show a tech man how it works.

To activate the rev limitter I have always used a micro switch behind the pedal arm. It has worked flawlessly and reacts great. I have used a switch I flip at the top end to disable the 2-step but using the micro switch on the shifter is probably better, one less thing to remember to do.
