go to msd's website msdignition.com and go under automotive ignitions then go under rpm accessories
it should be the first item in that category

The lower rev limiter is turned on and off by a toggle switch, clutch switch, however you wire it.

My three step is hooked up so the clutch pedal switches to the shift rpm limit and the F&F style buttons o the steering wheel set the burnout rev limit.

yeah I was thinking it would be more fun to make a 2 step rather than buy it. you could use 2 poetntiometers to adjust the ohms for each rev limit.

ok went to the electonics store today,and started on my quest to make a custom launch control. so far I bought a 100 ohm potentiometer that takes 20 turns to go from 1 to 100, which means one turn would be 5 ohms. I found out from homemadeturbo in some thread a while back, that the rpm range goes from 1.2ohms to 7.8 ohms so I will have to turn the *** a whole turn to go 5 ohms5 ohms= around 7000 rpms so hald a turn will be at about 3500 rpms. now to toggle between launch limit and rev limit I got a taggle switch thats a push button, so you shush it and it switched to low rpms, and then when you let go it goes to high rpms. it should work. we will see. also where does every one put their switch, I was thinking at the track I could kist mount it to the steering wheel since I will only be going straight.I dont really know how to set it up to switch with the clutch pedal. if anyone has any ideas on how to do this let me know, because I am probaby going to write an article on how i did this if I am successul.

there are numerous ways to use the clutch switch..... so that when the clutch is depressed you have a diff rev limit...
here is some links to the way we did it on a few friends cars.
mind you they are DSM's but you can easily adapt the way it was done to a honda minus the DIS-2..
