calebz Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 6500 Probably has something to do with the fact that 85-6 uses different cams than 87+ Thats why 87+ gets that whopping 115HP ans 85-86 gets the little wimpy measly 111HP:burnout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 thanks caleb.. i just wanted to know.. i can run my new motor to my dashs redline and not be at the redline that the motor can run at.. hehe extra safety measure.. i may have only had 11hp with the original motor but i don't have a fuel cutoff, bwahaha.. besides now i have more than 115 due to mods haha and still no fuel cutoff..

Gregg Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Is the redline based on vehicle or engine? My 86 XT-GL (EA82) has a redline of 6.5k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myossfeece Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 when I bought my 88 sedan it was 2wd auto and redline was at 6,000 rpm. Once I swapped trannys I also swapped the gauges from a wagon into the sedan and it had a redline of 6,500 rpm. My 87 RX has a redline of 6,500. Maybe the difference is between the auto and the stick tranny. I don't know about the pre 86 as I have yet to own one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewcifer85710 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 My 86 owner's manual calls it 6k for the manual and 6.5k for the automatic, that's on my EA82T. IIRC there are maybe other figures for carbed/SPFI engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewcifer85710 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Originally posted by calebz Well that makes sense.. I have a dash from an Automatic in mine Mmkay, so I bothered to look this one up in the '86 Owner's manual. It gives permissible engine speed: For a GL models with AT, and any n/a GL-10: 6500 Everything else: 6000 Weird the GL AT models and GL-10 would be separate while a carbed DL and my Turbo MPFI GL-10 fall into the same category. Were those AT GL models and n/a GL-10s the cars that got SPFI in '86? Is that the determining factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbianchi Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Subaru motors don't really have a redline since they are BULLET PROOF!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
