the msd 6al comes with pre-chipped rev limiters at 5k, 6k, 7k and 8k...which is obviously way lower than the stock limiter at 8900 on Gs-r's. Will not running a chip in the 6al allow the motor to retain the stock limiter?

 

i would think it would retain the stock one because the stock rev limiter is done by the ecu, the msd limits the ignition at the set rpm

 

It will eliminate the stock limiter with-out the pills in it. go to summitracing.com and order the one you want.

 

Why do you need an aftermarket ignition? What is done to your car?

 

gsr redline is 8100 isnt it? revlimiter kickes in around 83-8400?

 

yea stock limiter is around 8200 8300... summit sells the pills for almost every rpm you need

Stock rev limiter will still be there. The ecu controls that

 

THIS IS NOT TURE, YOU CAN CHANGE THE REDLINE THROUGH MSD.

 

TRUE*

 

it will only lower it not raise it past the stock ecu setting

 

the stock rev limiter will still be there unless you chip the ecu. THe MSD is a spark cut style limiter, which cuts the ignition out. the stock style is a fuel cut style, which cuts the fuel out. MSD makes a dial adjustable module you can plug in and adjust your limiter by turning a ****.

 

i got the msd full ignition as a deal, however i've been hearing there are a lot of problem
that come with it and stock ignition is good enough...so far so good there are no problems. i just hate how the highest chip is 8k...and i don't want to pull that chip and eliminate the stock limiter and consequently blowing my motor from over rev

 

you can make your own custom rev limit chips for really cheap... all they are, are a resistor you can buy at radio shack. I use to have a formula to figure out what resitance for what rpm but i made all my chips and have no more use for it.

Just because the stock igntion can handle over 500hp doesn't mean you shouldnt upgrade. Stock honda motors can handle a turbo but people still build them up to be safe.
