WTF if someone has one of these pieces of ---- please help me out so i can get me vtec working. maybe im leaving outa a ground or somthing. please help. all info is welcome>!

Re:sry for the f-bomb but..... FUCK THIS RPM SWITCH
 

ok well if this is an rpm activated switch which is what i got u have to go into the distributor. and through a rely. then it works my brother figured it out after a couple of days after mine not working. he talked to msd and they said all this crap but if u want me to find out exactly what he did i can hve him tell me and then let u no Austin

ya im sending it back i tried te whole relay thing and its just ---- nothing works dammit anyways, but thanks guys for your help? is the msd any easyer to hook up cause thats what ill be buying next

Re:sry for the f-bomb but..... FUCK THIS RPM SWITCH
 

um its prolly the same. i got the msd and i had to use a relay like i said and i needed to put a wire into the distributor. idk what wire but if u want to wait i can talk to my brother and find out what to do like i said and then u can try it. u do have the pills to kick it on to rite? Austin

I say Summit should put down the pipe.

They're expecting the RPM signal to trigger the relay? Man I hope not....imagine a mechanical relay turning on and off at 1000-8000 RPM. Relays weren't meant for that....that's what transistors are for.

This schem?

That's for after you get the switch wired in. ???

I got the msd rpm switch. I didn't install it but i do know there a wire from the battery terminal and theres something that's suppose to be mounted to the firewall. Mines used to kick in a 5k rpms but now it kicks in at 4500 rpm b/c of my vafc. I recommend if you could get the ecu to your car then get one. I already order mines and plan on sellin my rpm switch.

Re:sry for the f-bomb but..... FUCK THIS RPM SWITCH
 

make sure the rpm switch is set up good (good rpm trigger and good relay and grounds etc) and that the switch point is set right, ive used them and had good results but they can be a royal pain to set up right... BTW the summit one is better than the msd one, no pills.
