Brendtp suggested this;
"Now - to implement the rev limit feature you need to feed the rev limit output to a solid-state relay or power transistor which will cut the power to the coil. *Note that I haven't tested this before*."
Nice, it cuts the power to coils. When I start searching for a proper relay on DigiKey I realized that I need help, bad!
Here are some links:

Solid state relays
http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch ... t=32310297
Among other things, I can't figure out which current I need, what kind of mount to use, and the switch function. Should I cut power to single coil or both of them, SPST or DPST??? Please help me find a correct relay or power transistor. Mounting box for it all will be nice as well. A led that will go off then power cut is nice too, put that thing on the dash like in race cars. Help me out with parts and I can put it together and make it work.

Riv limiter
hi guys
I also would like to fit a rev limiter to the system as i am using it on a rally car and i can't be looking at the rev counter all the time.Like to keep my eyes on the road.IS there a wirring diagram or something that can give me the information to sort one out ie relays how to connect to coils ect..
hope some one can help
cheers
