David Hookey Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 running 2.0ltr xe alpha weber management.....is there a rev cut out and if so when does it come in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 If you have ARP big end bolts, then you're safe up to about 7500-8000rpm. On a boggo XE, with OE bottom end, then don't rev it beyond what the GSI Cavalier manual says is the red line......... FWIW, my ARP equipped XE revs to 7200........

Mark Stanton Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Just don't ask The "Revver-end" Everall what the limit is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 It is all in the mind!!! However with ARP Coosie big end bolts certainly 7750 is acceptable but some of us like to try and use a bit more.

hilux Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Put on rolling road (standard engine) and suggested 6000 max as peak power/torque are around that point etc Read out stated 6500 revs reached momentarily Engine is fine (I think it blew out the cobwebs ) FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 6500rpm !!!!! It is hardly worth starting up the engine to achieve this miserly figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Smith Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 If it's a new weber alpha fresh out of the box and not been re-mapped I think you'll find that the rev limit is set at a mear 6000rpm!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilux Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 6500rpm !!!!! It is hardly worth starting up the engine to achieve this miserly figure! bl**** cheek........................... I have heard rumours that you have a bike rev counter in yours and you only wear ear protectors cos of the valve bounce ********** I cant assume original builder fitted uprated rod bolts I need to check at some time. SBD will be getting some business from me this winter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilwillis Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 6500rpm !!!!! It is hardly worth starting up the engine to achieve this miserly figure! bl**** cheek........................... I have heard rumours that you have a bike rev counter in yours and you only wear ear protectors cos of the valve bounce ********** I cant assume original builder fitted uprated rod bolts I need to check at some time. SBD will be getting some business from me this winter though Forget the bolts. Once you have a rod poking out the side of the VX, do yourself a favour, and fit a proper engine!!!!

Terry Everall Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Now there is an idea I had not thought of! You see "out of the mouths of children..........." If I fitted a bike engine rev counter it might release a few more revs than the vdo gauge that stops at a mere 7000rpm!!! Anyway irrespective of revs I was pulling 124mph in 5th gear through the finish at Aintree in the Speed Series and that felt bl**** quick and I did not have time to check anything just applied plenty of right foot to the right hand pedal. Just go for it - You know it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
