MA 10 DIZZY.

[bikepmist]

Hey guys!,
I have another question for you,have electronic dizzy fitted to my race ma 10 race car,
the trouble is i dont know what car its off of,its obviously a Nissan as thats printed on it,
it has the vacuum advance as well all the same as the old ma10 but electronic,does anyone.
know what car this came out off?,also(theres always an also)!,how are the ma10 rev limited?.
does this dizzy have a rev limiter fitted into it,if not how are they "protected" from a clown like me
or (joe public) from over reving it and blown the CRAP out of it???....
thanks
B.P

The standard dizzys are electronic and there is no rev limiter they valve bounce

No rev limiter, broke my engine when throttle got jammed open and revved till it poped

 

[bikepmist]

Would anyone suggest fitting an after market revlimiter, just in case????///

I never did and rallied the knackers off it with no problems. All down to the drivers and knowing their engine as always

Just listen and change up when it sounds right...? Its easy to tell when your revving to much

 

[h701micra]

It easy to tell when you've gone too far as it'll take a while to pick back up as you've dropped off the powerband. Its less than you think you wanna be on the torque through bends and on the power for straights

Ok guys thanks for the info once again,(much appreciated) the only problem i have is a fifteen year old son to TRY and
tell this to!,you know what their like,drive it like they stole it,and i'll be the one to pick up the pieces!,no matter i'd
rather do this and spend time with him,(they will be all grown up soon enough)they think anyway,
thanks again chaps

More than welcome
Worst case scenario block of wood under accelerator
Maybe fit a small rev gauge with a shift light? He'll feel like he's in fast n furious and play along

rev limiters are only £30 aint they, or else adapt a (limiting) rotor arm ?

 

[Huggy444]

Or just put a pedal travel stop under the pedal

helpful people!. THANKS.

We do our best

 

[sn31]

hi we never race them without an omex rev limiter fitted

 

[bikepmist]

Thanks sn31!!...

for a cheaper alternative, ive picked up a cheap adjustable shift light off ebay with the intention for it to drive a 5 pin relay (instead of the LED) which will cut the earth to the coil. Still gotta test it though and see what the reaction time of the relay is

 

[bikepmist]

Ok thanks RTL!,i dont understand how the relay will actually earth the coil but i'll wait and see how you get on!
best of luck mate,please come back with the result!

you can wire up a 5 pin relay which will keep the earth side of the coil connected till you activate the relay and it disconnect the circuit

heard it all now,,,, block of wood under the peddle...and playing with rota arms fitting a shift light or rev counter still will not stop you over reving the engine,, just like sn 31 says fit a rev limiter

No but they're aids to encourage changing gear

Why not fit one to be safe? Cheap and easy to fit

Never got around to fitting the home brew rev limiter as I picked up an Accuspark limiter off a mate for cheap and its a good bit of kit. They are pretty cheap on ebay too:
