When driving normally and you boot it, what would class as reving high and not hitting the rev limit ?

4k+ ?
5k+ ?

What do you drive normally at ? changing gears ? etc etc

 

8300 at the mo as I have dropped the limiter to save some money

 

7000 + is high revving

I usually change about 6500 when out and about

 

i wouldnt say mine is high revving as it is set to 7.2 hard cut
but i change gear at 7k

 

Wish i could even rev to 7k

 

My cut is around 6300-6500, when giving it some I take it to 5800-6000.

when you have a power band that starts at 1500, and finishes at 6k why rev the nuts off them hear them right and your engine will last forever

 

whenever i go above above about 4.5k i think thats high! lol

but then my engine only revs to 6 :P

 

10k+

 

i rev to 3k when im going to work

i rev the cossie to 7 grand but onlu cause the fooker is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo laggy

 

but my neighbour has a rvf400 bike and a r1, they rev higher than that

 

BDA baby !!!

 

i call my kart high revving
18k

 

How accurate are mk4 escort rev counters?
mine goes well off to about 8000rpm. with kent cv35
1.6 na engine,

 

to me high revving is when the valves start stomping, takin it to the limit , but mostly bout 5k+

 

5.5 - 6k then I get scared and change gear

 

Anything above 3k will kill your engine (said in Kevin B terms LOL)

 

over 7k although i've not taken it above 6k in normal driving yet (hit 8k a few times whilst going sideways)

 

6800 for me

 

7k is the max. when i give it some i'll rev to 5.5k (because of the t-3). with the t-34 soon it could even further.

 

mines set at7200 st the minure,
my 1700YB setup was set at 9200
turbo and engine matchup was poor so ditched the 1700cc setup,

current rev limmit is 6900/7000rpm, dont normally hit the limmiter as it slows you down lol.

 

dont really cane the xr3, however the lexus has a slush box so cant really hold it on the limiter, dont stop me trying though

 

is there any point me revving over 6500?
its ony a 1.6 lol

cv35 cam, ported, race valve angles(woteva that is)
chipped, light n balanced bottom end, 4 branch + stainless zorst
lightened flywheel????, erst gearbox
power boost valve <-god knows wot that things for
frst fuel pump, all full xr2i EFI loom

al i know its pretty nippy for a 1.6
dead level with saxo vts

 

only ever changed gear on the imiter in the evo
every change once hot

Yeah a CVH reving to 8k is very high.

But with my XR3i my limiter is a bit odd in

1st 5.4k
2nd 5.6k
3rd 5.8k
4th 6.0k
5th 6.2k

nuts, but normally if I'm taking it easy it will be on about 3-4k I change gear.

 

when running about i always change before the dv sounds. in a FRST that means about 2.5k!!

 

my power band finishes at 6k so I try not to go above that, still good for 50 in first gear though

 

8500rpm

 

if we are talking generically then id say its quite pointless revving beyond peak power in most scenario's

i have soft cut at 7500, hard cut at 8 (whatever that means lol)

peak power was 7k on rollers but was only revved to 7k but given the turbo its about all over at 7k

shifting at 7k gives me a band of 3500rpm on boost

if you want to know what i think is high for a cossie and a cvh then 8500+ and 7500+ respectively, this obviously isnt in std form

 

your car felt really good at 7k revs matt!

felt even better when it was bouncing off the limiter in 2nd!!

 

I dont really need to look at the rev counter, i know my car well so you just know when its time to change..

but i guess 7500rpm is a good cut off

 

i don't know what high revs are anymore

 

I never rev mine at all really. Normal use is reved to about 3k. If I'm razzing it I always try and change before the limiter but it picks up so quickly I tend to pop it off that limiter.

 

Yeah right steve, i have seen how u drive

 

Honda vtec revs to 8500-9500 as standard and has a 90k warranty.

My mex revs to 7k.

 

hows ur cacker mac?

 

It made sense, it sounded sweeeeeeet
