Of course I wouldnt do it cold, I NEVER take it above 2500rpm until the temp gauge is in the middle I'm sure the people who get stuck behind me in morning traffic are spun out that and R32 is being driven like a grandma but I want the engine to last.

Just out of interest If the limiter was removed would going just a tad over 8000rpm do any damage to the engine?

you want the engine to last but you are talking about doing launches in first gear from the limiter? doesn't make sense to me.

the rev limiter is probably set at about 7500rpm, but it's probably that your tacho is inaccurate (remember that they are old cars now). a mates 32 tacho read well over 500rpm out at redline compared to the PFC reading.

yeah i guess that is a bit of a contradition, but then again reving the tits of a cold car every morning would do alot more damage than 1st gear launch every week or 2 right?

if the limiter kicks in at 8000 but the redline is 7500 due to the incorrect tacho

is it likely that idling speed states 950 its actually closer to 500? isn't that a bit low?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

should be ~700

the tacho will not read exatly 500 out across the whole range, it will vary

if i decided to be anal and replace and buy an APEXI RSM rev speed metre will it read correctly?

correct. generally it will be out be a percentage, not a set amount (just like the speedo will be). if the tacho is out by 10% then at idle it will be out by less than 100rpm, but at redline it would be out by nearly 1000rpm.

it will be accurate, as long as it's setup correctly, LOL.

How hard are they to setup?

[Rekin]

brain hurts. The stock turbo runs out of puff at like 6000rpm. There is no need to rev past that as you are actually losing power and better to change gears.

[stig mick]

I know they run out at around 6000rpm I would never hit the rev limiter in another gear apart from taking of in first atleast not on the street
