Red lining an FTO

[karlf]

At what revs does a Gpx red line? I've got hks dials in mine and not sure if they are the right ones for the Gpx. I assume the GS,GR, Gpx all have different rev limits as they are different engines meaning the dials would have to be different to suit.

Just take the revs up to the limiter, and make a note of it. think mine limits at 8800.

Can i have your engine


8200, but will push to 8275 if you sit on it.

I think my needle might be pointing in the wrong place so

Around the 8200 mark is where mine starts shaking and whizzing at.

so does it say yor hitting mivec at about 6000?

[colm_mcm]

It's definately a little higher than 5500 anyway. I kinda shift up based on the engine note rather than the rev counter.

[karlf]

The red line on the rev counter starts at 7000-7500 on mine. I was told with the mivec it should be higher. Was just wondering, didn't want to be over (or under) doing it . Whats the milage for a full tank of petrol in a Gpx? I reset the trip to zero when I filled up and only got 220 before I refilled again. Could have sworn I got 300+ on the last full tank coming back from the UK.

[colm_mcm]

use E5. that'll help, I have no idea what mine should be getting from a tank.

[karlf]

Whats E5 and where would I get it?

Topaz or Maxol

[karlf]

I think it was texaco I filled up last time, on the kylemore road. I'l give the Topaz a go so see if it gives more milage per tank. Cheers lads
