Rev limit ignition rotor #s

[tjones02]

Now, we all must know by now that one can get any number of aftermarket electronic ignitions that have various "soft touch rev limit" capabilities.

What I want to talk about here are the original old school spring loaded Bosch rev limit distributor rotors. All these rotors should work in all '02 dizzy types....

Original equipment BMW is 6600 RPM...

BMW #12 11 1 362 221

Bosch short # 04 141

Bosch Long # 1 234 332 280 or "208" as the last 3 #'s...

5800 RPM

Bosch short # 04 030

long 1 234 332 207

Volkswagen# 022 905 225A

6500 RPM

Porsche# 911 602 928 00

6800 RPM

Bosch short # 04 024

Long 1 234 332 199

7100 RPM

short # 04 028

long 1 234 332 205

Porsche# 911 602 925 00

7300 RPM

short # 04 029

long 1 234 332 206

Porsche# 911 602 929 00

WARNING!!! Please only use rev limit rotors past 6600 if your motor is built to withstand such RPMs!!!!!!

There were and may well still be 4500 and such limits available but there's only a few reasons to really use one of those.... If you let a son or daughter drive your '02, OR want to pull a prank on a friend.

Super Cool info!

Thanks for posting these (though I doubt I'll ever get one - it's nice to see the numbers researched and listed!) This should definitely get put into an FAQ archive / tech tip listing!

Hey Paul, think early 911, E T and S for the 6800, 7100 and 7300...

914 2.0 for the 5800

914 1.7 & 1.8 and Type4 VW's had 5400

While the lower ones are for various Type1 VW's

Ha, 4500 rpm, just thing to pull a prank on someone. ;b....

BTW for those in the Biz. IMC carries all the ones I listed... IMCparts.net hint type in 1 234 332 209 and you get "closest matches" which lists many various rotors...

I remember IMC being GREAT for Porsche stuff - but how are they these days with BMW items?

I need a 5 speed (auto = same) 2002 speedo cable for a project - and the thought of charging the guy $100+ for the thing just turns my stomach. Think they'd carry it?

These used to be avail. through the big wholesale warehouse places, but not so much now, I guess. :-(
