Where should my rev limit be on this engine?
Hi,
I've got a 2005 sti short motor with sti version 3 heads in my classic and I'm wondering what my rev limit should be because I've seen that version 3 sti's redline at 7,800rpm but my rev limit is set to 7,600rpm at the moment.
Is that because the rev counters are inaccurate? My rev limit is too low or it should actually be 7,600rpm lol.
The reason for asking is because mine is still making peak power at 7,600rpm so the turbo hasn't run out of puff. Basic spec is a low mileage 2005 sti 2.0 short motor with ported and polished (inlet side) sti 3 cylinder heads with standard cams & springs with loads of bolt on parts
Thanks,
Paul

JDM's do Gaz but Paul has a UK STI engine and thats around 7.5k for the red line (not quite as good as the JDM cars )
The cut out is probably at 7.8k though, 8250rpm on a new age JDM STI
