differing redLines ??
Just looking at a tacho , suspected out of a slushbox L Series (auto) NA 3 speed FWD
It has broken redlines starting at 5500rpm. I thought they went to 6500 before any red, so looked at my other L Series that started out life as a slush box as well, just a turbo added in the factory , to find it is as I thought - 6500rpm redline.
Different redlines between NA and turbo ? Manual to auto ? year to year with the L's ??
What's your model & redline?

All of the turbo models have higher RPM redline but don't know why but at a guess, I'd say it's due to them not boosting till higher in the rev range.
My original L.Series (which I brought new) was the best reving engine NA engine until I drove Jayson's little 1600 2 door sedan. That is a little rocket with the EA71 but no tacho to see what it's doing

Aaah Redlines & R.P.M. The Galactic Light Speed Red Rocket has one it stands for Reactor Particle Manipulator, in lay terms somewhat similar to nuclear fission but with a G restraint and multifocal redline shifter.
I was advised by the interplanetary Klingon salesman,person, being, thing at Autobarn that this very rare item is indeed essential when phasing through the space time continuum, orbital re-entry, emergency avoidance of solar flares, for calculating warp speed and when exiting black holes...unfortunately it's after market!
PS , I’m considering taking orders for those interested in such adventures

Perhaps they have different hardened/nitrided pistons, conrods, crank? I know with the XTs & WRXs, Subaru kept changing how they treated theseRSR 555 wrote:All of the turbo models have higher RPM redline but don't know why but at a guess, I'd say it's due to them not boosting till higher in the rev range.

OK, seen 6500 on the EA82M once or twice now, and no think it much of a good idea. Second is the gear to try it anyway Think it was just nudging 5500 or 6000 when I hit 80 kph in second, reaching for third and by my side was an early EJ22 Lib and P plate looking driver - I hope he was trying hard also . So, this donk goes better than my old EA81TC and is quieter, more so when that clutch fan is turfed in favour of a slim line 52mm Davies, Craig sold panasonic fan.
Way to go Jonno;) EA82's have been known to go really well in the right hands!OK, seen 6500 on the EA82M once or twice now, and no think it much of a good idea.

Hmmm, yes they are basically panasonic motors in dressed up:pmore so when that clutch fan is turfed in favour of a slim line 52mm Davies, Craig sold panasonic fan.
