The positive reviews here have me looking hard at a 123Ignition dizzy replacement on my '73 2.0 w/ stock D-Jet.
But, the version they offer for the 914 that's compatible w/ D-Jet (123\PORSCHE-4-R-V-IE) has a fixed 8000 rpm rev limiter. The thought of my motor turning to shrapnel at 8000 rpm is a just tad bit worrisome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) Ed at 123 Ignition said that the OEM rev-limiting rotor won't work in their dizzy, and suggested an aftermarket stand-alone rev limiter. But, I'm not too enthusiastic about adding an extra box at additional expense, just to limit revs. Has anyone here used the 123Iginition w/ D-Jet? What did you do to limit rpm? Anyone just run without a rev limiter? Thanks. |

Has anyone here used the 123Iginition w/ D-Jet? Yes, many of us have. Works really well. What did you do to limit rpm? Nothing. Just drove it, why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Seriously, is not having a rev limiter a real worry? I don't know that anybody here using the 123 is that worried about running too high on revs or has had a problem. I mean, I'm not racing or anything, but I rarely get too much above 5000. |

...Seriously, is not having a rev limiter a real worry?... I dunno. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Maybe I just shouldn't worry about it... |
