The factory fuel-cut rev limiter will be fine.

And it's aggressive. If you burn out too hard in 1st gear / slide it and let it get all the way up there, it'll stop your slide in a heartbeat. When it cuts in it's almost like hitting a wall lol.

Set your light at 7000 and pay attention to it.

I set mine to 7000 RPM since that's where the max horsepower is. Anything beyond that is pointless, aside from trying to achieve a higher speed in a shorter amount of time without wasting it on shifts.

Those 200 RPM's aren't going to hurt anything. You will be just fine. mine is daily driven as well, and it sees 7400 a couple times a day. Its good for it actually

I actually saw this when i was playing with the display i did set my "indicator" before around 5500 lol.. But seeing all the post here i guess i can put it up to 7000rpm..

Acid18 · 01-07-2013, 12:24 PM

So now its set to 7300rpm tried it on second third till fourth gear.. No more road left..

Im just loving the car even more.. Thanks guys!!

Now its time to change this stock exhaust..

gmookher · 01-07-2013, 12:50 PM

sorry but the factory engineers did design this thing to be bounced off the 7400 limit all day long, just fyi...not gonna hurt it... there is room to spare at the top actually, having explored higher rev limits with a tuned car..

How much would it be for your stock pipes shipped to the States?

Mine is set at 7,000. Though, you could set it at arond 6,900 or so because when your getting on it once the light goes off you need to be shifting soon without bouncing off of it, thus slowing you down and making people laugh at you so hard you buy a TC.

wrxgoose · 01-07-2013, 05:40 PM

once i've got mine broken in, i plan on dynoing it, to see where the torque starts dropping off. that's where i'll set my shift light

I thought I read that so far the limit could be changed up to 8 with no problem at all.. Based on my little engineering knowledge, given the safety margin that should be engineered I don't see why 8k wouldn't be safe.. During testing they found out thru computer sims, and real world what the failure rate would be then take it down quite a bit right?? My GSXR 750 has a rev limiter at 14,250.. After computer work I have had no issues at 15,000 at the track and have been doing it for about 5k miles now.. What I got on my forums is 15k is the safest it can go with a stock valve train..

So 8k should be safe here right???

I was under the impression you wanted to shift when the gear your in and the next gear was in the best part of the power... So a little after the peak so the next gear would be as close as possible to peak??
