[midnightblue97]

What car??

[bruce95fmla]

1.5 is 6500
1.8 is 7000

[Greenskank]

My 1.5 Redlines at 6.5k but i can run it to 7k

[midnightblue97]

my 1.8 redlines at 7000 and I can hit 7400

[JesseSays]

7200 IIRC... your tach is off. Fuel cut by the ECU is 7200

[midnightblue97]

Damn.
Is the tach only inaccurate in the higher rev range like a speedo is at higher speeds??
How can I check for sure how accurate it is, do I need a Timing light with RPM readout or a scanner with the same??

My 1.5 Redlines at 6.5k but i can run it to 7k

no point in reving the 1.5 to 7 grand buddy...

peak hp is at 5500

that'd be an easy way...

anything that takes it's signal directly off the ignition system would be accurate.

My 1.6 Redlines at 6.5k but i can run it to 7.2K (Fuel cut )
but I can use 1.8 ECU that can run to 7.4K (fuel cut)

lol, more like 4500 =)

I don't purposely rev it that high, it just happens sometimes

[pigeon]

the 1.5 rev limiter hits at 6700

[Greenskank]

the 1.5 rev limiter hits at 6700

maybe my tach is off by a little
