Different approach to the rev limiter
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2018 10:03 am
So a while back I tackled a really odd voltage issue (after replacing a coil) and I wanted to take out the last 'weak link' in the ignition system. I was getting a little tach fluctuation but my timing light showed really precise firing and advance. Like, shockingly good! The mechanical advance with a fresh spring does AWESOME. Anywho, I wanted to set out bypassing the rev limiter but didn't want to be without a limiter at all. I've never hit the rev limiter but, regardless, I found solace in having it there.
After some poking around, I found Beru actually makes a mechanical rev limiter built in to the rotor. It fits perfectly and is a super clever design. It has a plunger that grounds out the center post at 4500RPM. Dead simple. If the spring fails, it loses electrical contact and the rev limiter disables itself. So no chance of being left stranded! It was pretty cheap, something like 30euro. Lots of really good feedback from the VW forums. Totally not required but I wanted to share in case others appreciated the tip or had feedback!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
