want to know what redline is in an 87+ ea82T car..

 

i know the 85 and 86's were less than the 87+ and i have an 87+ engine in my 85'..

 

the redline in mine is 6k...

 

this is an easy one for anyone with a 87+ ea82T car, hehe..

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:

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..

12 PSI

 

 

 

 

No Fuel Cut:clap:

heh.. lightened flywheel, and as soon as i get me new custom DP i'll have straight pipe all the way out the back.. ohh and 12PSI too btw.. muuahaha..

 

ohh my car wieghs about 600 lbs less than a wagon too..

Is the redline based on vehicle or engine? My 86 XT-GL (EA82) has a redline of 6.5k...

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

well just speaking for ea82T soobs.. i have an 85' its redline is 6k.. my old turbo wagon was an 86 and it was 6k.. and the 87+ ea82T cars were 6.5k...

 

thanks all

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.

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?

Subaru motors don't really have a redline since they are BULLET PROOF!!!
