RPM activated switch
Any one know of an RPM activated switch that will work with our cars? I hear the MSD one will work but it needs to be configured for a 4 cyl engine. And to do that, you might need to send it to MSD for them to do it. Or can you do it yourself?

Just get the Summit RPM Switch - Part # SUM-830449. It does not require any pill. The RPM's are selectable through DIP switches. This is what I use for my electronic 6-port.

whats the range the summit one can be adjusted through. Im going to use it to activate my 5th and 6th ports. I thought because its designed for v-8's its range is limited to 4000-19000. I guess that would be ok for the ports to open at 4000, but dont they open up at around 3800 stock?

Sorry for asking this again, 5th and 6th ports should be opened at 3800 rpms, am I correct to assume that that is also when the secondary injectors come into play? And in your experience, when should VDI be opened with the RPM switch? I apologize for digging up this old thread.

I bought this unit
http://www.performancepartsoutlet.co...s/MSD-8671.jpg (not from that site)
and I have the box that says activated switch on it

Will this work to open up my vdi or did I get stiffed?

B'c when the auxilliary ports opened up at 3800 rpms It amplified the hesitation I had experienced. When the switch activated It didn't plunge the actuators normally (as Is the case In stock format) It forced them openly aggresively on account of the high pressure air compressor I was using. When I replaced my engine harness with a brand new one I had no more problems. Further, my NA wasn't exactly stock at the time.

And while here, I'd select that Jaycar rpm/frequency switch over the Summit one hands down. I own both and know what I'm a talkin 'bout. Not that the Summit isn't a good choice anyway if rigged right i.e. triggering a seperate relay for whatever device your wanting to operate. NOT using the Summit to operater the device by itself.
