I'm just curious...

 

 

What RPM does your Sube run at 70mph?

Be sure to list what tranny and engine you have...

My auto 2.5 does 70 mph at 3k rpm.

Same with my manual 2.2L

I can give you speed figures @ 3000 RPM

 

73 mph @ 3000 RPM - '02 OBS 2.5 4EAT.

69 mph @ 3000 RPM - '00 OBS 2.2 5 Manual.

2800 RPM for a 2.5 with an auto

70mph @ 3K RPM

80mph @ 4K RPM

 

1990 Legacy Wagon 241K plus (speedo broke at the moment)

2.2 auto

 

I took all the stickers off so it goes much slower now...

 

I don't have a cat converter either.

2.2 auto = 2,800 rpm at 70

2.5 auto = (I dunno, the dash cluster hasn't been deBrightonized, so still no tach).

On my 5 Sp Man 97 2.5 Outback 70mph = 3200 rpm

 

On my 5 Sp Man 05 2.5 Baja Sport 70 mph = 3200 rpm

just over 3000rpm

 

 

Car details in signature :-)

70 mph is about 3200 RPM for 2002 Legacy GT with 5sp MT

92 Legacy wagon, EJ22, 5MT, I tried this last night to see while on the way home:

Speedo reading 70MPH, Tach sitting at 2750. Not sure how accurate the speedo is though, so I'll put the tach at 3K this afternoon and post the speed when I return. . .

1998 legacy 2.2 4EAT 3k =75 mph like 2800-2850= 70 mph..........3900=100 mph.

2001 Forester L 2.5 5spd does about 3300 RPM @ 70. Good thing the Dallas Police are really lax about speeders!

Mine sits at about 2700 at 70mph. that's a 2.2L auto

92 Legacy wagon, EJ22, 5MT, I tried this last night to see while on the way home:

Speedo reading 70MPH, Tach sitting at 2750. Not sure how accurate the speedo is though, so I'll put the tach at 3K this afternoon and post the speed when I return. . .

70=2750

75=2900

80=3100

 

I just changed the tires though from ones that were not "factory size" (p195-70R14, instead of p185-70R14) so these numbers may change. . .

 

Or perhaps I will actually be going those speeds now. . . The speedo seems to run a few MPH high, based on the number of times I get passed at a particular speed, compared to the same speed in other cars. . . (comparison is between 3 cars: the Subie, a Dodge Caravan, and a Saturn SL1. The Caravan and the Saturn seem to agree, so the Subie is the odd one out. . .)

02 outback wagon 2.5 4eat

 

70mph--tach at 2750

75mph--tach at 2900

80mph--tach at 3100

Thanks--just wanted to compare to mine. I've got a 95 2.2 auto. I run right at 2800 at 70mph, though I'm not positive my speedo is dead on or not.

3000 - 95 legacy, manual trans.

3300 - 96 outback, manual trans.

 

both have the ej22
