How to limit my revs?
BACK STORY: 1986 n/a gxl, no bac, no omp, wired open 5+6th ports, no egr
GOAL: drift **** (don't hate)
Dumb question but what would I need to do to have a functioning rev limiter, my car makes power at 4500 to about 7500 rpm but I'm concerned about a premature blown motor if I bounce it to 7500-8000rpm to often. Are my concerns legit or am I an idiot haha? But if I am on the right track I would limit it to 7k if I could.
I'm no ricer flame shooting fanboi so don't hate twards my question just wanna have fun for more than 20k miles on my motor.

Pretty sure stock spark cut is fine, the rotary likes high revs. I'd say you're safe. I imagine you'd only need to mess with the redline when you're running a turbo or an aggressively ported engine

The TEC3 has a nice soft rev limiter.

You could also use an aftermarket ignition system that has a user-defined rev limiter.

I thought the stock fuel cut was at 9k rpms(both rotors).... but w/e
And thanks evil aviator that info was about as helpful as it gets haha. I would have used the search method but when it comes to modding an n/a.... forget about searching. Im deffinatly looking into the msd 6al between your link and msd's website I can already see it in my 7.

Bounce off the stock limiter. It will be fine... high exhaust temp maybe but it's not like you are worried about burning up a cat. I don't see how bouncing off an aftermarket limiter will really be any safer than a stock limiter. It will still stress components. You can save the money and put it towards fixing stuff that will inevitably break from drifting

the stock limiter is less harsh than most ignition cut units and ECUs will offer.
only downside is you won't get that signature honda hard limiter sound as the revvs tach up and down 500RPMs.
