S3 1999 max RPM

[Miguel_S#]

Hello

Can someone tell me the max rpm without break the engine?

Kind regards

You have a limiter, when you find it that's your awnser.

When highly modified they can hit 11,000 rpms

6,800 usually, most remapped cars on standard turbo rev to 7,200

why does he want to rev it to the max?

very nice, but i want to know with ori valvetrain

to go to the power bench,

std limiter on your std ecu is 6800rpm

(if) your car is std ecu and not remapped of course

The car is remapped, i want to know the max Rev to ori valvetrain.

What's your car and engine spec?

Normally 7.2k but a max of 7.5k on std valve train...

tbh its a pointless discussion if you aren't making power up there... most K04 turbo's make peak power long before then so having a huge rev limit is largely pointless..

If running a big turbo then cap at 7.5k or fit a supertech valve train to safely rev higher... 8.2k is probably the max you want to take it on std lifters (although I know Bill's Ibiza does rev to 8.5k on hydros)... this is still assuming you are making power over 7k even on a big turbo as you realistically need cams beyind 7k to get more out of it

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Standard then..

The valve are two piece so I wouldn't like to rev it much more than 8k but seeing yours is just a remap I bet the peak power is at 5k unless you have a Dyno plot to show we're it peaks?

I am waiting hybrid turbo then i will test.
I have 1.8t 150hp valvetrain is better??

Its the same stuff in almost every 20v turbo so no different....

Hybrid turbo's peak around 6.8k so for the most part a 7.2 or 7.5k limt on std valve train will be fine... but... your mapper should know whats best for your setup...

yes, my mapper knows is a great mapper, is PedroSousa from the forum.
I am curious

 

[badger5]

see where peak power is.. pointless setting a high rpm limit if its all out of puff by then.
