highest/average rpm fo AT4 tuned?
Hey guys,
About to snatch a mint 2004 rx8 AT4 for a really really good price. Me being me though, I'd like to rev it a bit higher than 7500. What can the AT take? I think I read someone doing 8800 rpm's with no issue, but I figure people in this forum are more knowledgeable and can post what they have set. Not really doing it for more power (it is an AT4 afterall.. and I'm coming from a 2000 jetta Vr6 172hp as the daily), but the sound would be really nice. |

My personal opinion, no higher than 8000 with the AP
|
Hi, how many miles are on this "mint" 8? You said its a really good price.. Mine was $5k with 82k miles. And, it can take as much revving as you give it. (Signature)
|
It has ~70,000 km's so about ~45k miles.
|
hm.. thats rare for an original engine from back then, and with what I've read about the 04 engines.. if you're willing to take a chance, then go for it. 04 was the beginning of the RX8s, so usually the first year model has slight problems.. my car got to the point in it's life that it actually got lemon stickered! i forgot about that... yours should be fine though. take the risk :)
|
got ya beat...'04 28k miles, original engine ;)
|
^ your engine will blow up after the engine core warranty expires and I'll be laughing ;)
|
the engine can still handle 9000 in the 4pt, just dunno about the shitty tranny.

http://www.youtube.com/user/stripher#p/u/3/oPhlpGGT-Vc i think he's talking abt 2004 4 port 13b, totally different :) |
not to mention in the A/T, its 7,500 because the torque converter just doesnt go that high to 9krpm
|
Super...please stop adding to mis-information...

as far as the rev , i do take mines once in a wile till it beeps!! a little over 8000rpm, dont abuse, change oil on a regular, lubricate is the key premix at every tank , future plans, Exhaust, intake, maybe a supercharger, might not be a MT but i sure do give the few around here a run for their $$$ :yesnod: |
Some people need to stop and think before they type.
some parts of this forum are getting idiotic-- its a shame |

I've revved a few out to 10k. Really no point in that. For an N/A application, there isn't any reason to go past 7200 RPM. There isn't any power up there. |
@ 45k -- GReddy for about 7k now ... tuned by ^^^ a couple times lol
speed limiter removed and rev set at about 8500 if memory serves correctly.. silly to go that high... with the right compressor wheel you get all you need down low. I seldomly go beyond 7.5k in any gear. |
