RPM's

[rhumphris]

Anyone know the max continuous RPM for a standard 1.2 engine, and the max peak RPM.

get some SR clocks :D

[Dicko]

max peak = it has no limiter, it will keep going till it pops

dont some of the dizzys have some kinda weights in em that moved out as the RPM's rose and they eventually reached a point where it woudld kill the ignition

to give u an idea - SPi rev limiter is at 6200rpm, the mpi rev limiters are at 6800rpm

i wouldnt go much past 6200 really

as for continous i sit on the motorway regularly at like 4000-4500rpm in 4th gear (70-80mph) and have driven 300miles to birmingham at that speed all the way

much over that and its a bit strained so its a waste of fuel espeically for motorway crusing but i did get it to 100 which is 5500rpm for a short period of time (as long as the hill lasted ;) )
