how much can you rev a stock rotary?
I met a guy who have a stock FD who had been way past the rev marking wich is 9000 rpm. he estimated it to 10500 rpm!!!
Is that possible on a stock FD?

In first gear I rev to 9000 then shift. After that...it's always at redline. When you go aftermarket turbo, then you can redline higher...I've seen stock tranny's go to 11000 rpms...

I usally hit 8000rpm in first and after that it is 7650 for the best power. And 4th gear all the way baby......-Rikki

Why would you? There is no point in revving over 8k rpm on a stock engine. Even most modified engines will have no benefits at that high of rpm. Can you say apex seal chatter, I knew you could.

If we are talking about stock motors and stock twins, then there is NO point in revving past 7600 rpms. If you have a single turbo but with stock engine, then 8000 rpms would be more tolerable. Depending on the turbine i.e. T-04E or TD-06/20G, you'll make power to 8000. If your exhaust housing is 1.00 a/r or bigger...then yes, you will want to rev higher than redline, especially with a modified engine. If you had an exhaust port done on your car to make more top end power, then your overlap will be more pronounced and you will be wasting your time unless you rev PAST redline since the turbine(assuming that it's a good size and has a good size exhaust housing) will still make more power.
I have seen STOCK motors with TD-06/20G's redline to 9000 in 1st gear and then shifting at 8000 every gear after... AND survive for over two years...then the owner switched to a T-04S and STOCK motor and redlined the same and the motor lasted 6 months....
...why did it blow up...he forgot to turn on his Rebic III. His engine would have survived if not for this "error"

just cause it drops off doesnt mean you want benefit from it. IE: you rev the motor to 7K where the rpms drop off @ lets say 250 HP. well lets now say at 8K you are making 225 HP. now if you were to upshift at the 7K mark to the next gear and then drop to 4500 in the next gear there may be about high 190's hp. in that same situation if you were to have revved it to 8K and made the 225 then upshifted you would be making lower 200's for the next. dont konw if it makes sense, but if you understand that then i congratulate you. i confused myslef right now.

True, but a stock car peaks at 6500 and start dropping off pretty sharply after 7k. So I think shifting at 7500 rpm will accomplish what you are describing. Of course, in first gear, it's damn near impossible to shift that early as 8k comes up so damn fast.

TobiasRX,
A stock FD won't rev that high because the fuel cut would kick in before 10k RPMs. Only way to defeat that is to drive too fast and shfit down into 2nd at around 90 mph or faster.
