im about to buy an fc its an 88 just wanna kno what i should chek for and common problems n such... n i was just wondering whats the safest rpm u can rev a stock fc upto... also whats the highest u've seen an rx reved to... a freind of mine doesnt believe they can rev high

 

check the FAQ at the beginning of this section for a buyers guide. The 89-91 FCs rev to 8500 rpms or so. The RX-8 is 9500 rpms or so.

Yes they can rev higher, but if you're going to attempt that you'd want the engine professionall balanced, blueprinted, & tuned to prevent vibration issues, eccentric shaft flex, and rotor + rotor housing damage. Dragsters & racers do it, but you have to take precautions.

 

Please read the FAQ for FC sticky at the top of this section before posting!

 

thanx... im not gunna try it... atleast not untill i have some money in my car... but one of my friends doubted that they can rev higher than the average car
