rev counter

[novacraig]

hi everyone i was racing me mate and i was ragging my car and i didnt realise my rev counter was off the clock and it has 7.5k and it was still pulling a little and i was just wondering what do you think they would rev up to because it has got to be about 8k or so.

the mod i got, 4-1 manifold with a full ashely system and a 32 webber carb

What engine?

[Adam]

Now a fooked one

In all seriousness, you shouldn't be over 7k, with standard rod bolts.
Your power will have peaked at about 6k anyway, so your slowing down going above 6k.

[novacraig]

it is a 1.2 and i no but i didnt realise because i dont look at the rev counter but my mate notice it and what would be the best apr bolts in it

[garyc]

my 1330 goes to 8K with std bolts, at push 8.2. Sounds like you need a bigger engine!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

[novacraig]

wow f**k that well high and i think i do to that why i am think of doing a turbo 1.6 8v

[novacraig]

i have been told a astra has got the same engine as a gsi nova is it true

[Iain]

I believe mk3 Astras share the Nova's 1.4 and 1.6 MPI engines.

Woot, another magic 1.2 thread :D

Sounds like you need a vtec, yo lol

Even if it did rev to ~7.5k its certainly not going to be pulling at that range on a std cam. As said, even with the webber, peak power would be more round 6-6.5k. Is the rev counter accurate?

[novacraig]

that what i thought it is out of a 1994 astra n well how can u tell if your rev counter is accurate or not

[carls nova sri]

get another rev counter and try that

[novacraig]

yer i might have to

[novacraig]

i didnt want to start a new thread but does anyone know where i can get hold of a turbo manifold

[webber40]

ur rev counter is wrong! lol. like someone said before u wldnt have been still pulling it would have been losing power!
