Hi, an easy to answer question - if you have access to a car that is!

What is the rev limit on a UK turbo classic please, just I have a Forester S-turbo limited to 6,500rpm, when the Forester JDM's are 7,000rpm, can't see why they should be different, so would like to compare to a UK turbo Impreza!

Uk classic Turbo's red line at 7000 - JDM Sti's et al redline at 8 - I *think* JDM WRX's redline at 7,500

 

Thanks Peter.....

so, does that mean that the rev limiter cuts in at 8 (i belive its 8250) as my redline begins at 7 and its is a true STi (a STi VII).
This has confused me a bit

 

My rev limiter on my99 cuts in at 7246 RPM according to my Secs monitor

 

Normally JDM's rev to 8250rpm

IIRC if the limiter set piont is eg. 8000rpm the revs cut at 8250rpm about 2-3 seconds later revs cut drops back to 8000rpm.

it makes sense now, you would not have a redline start at 7000 and have a limiter cut in at 7250.
thanks for clearing that up for me!
