The stock redline before 1989 on NA and turbos is 7000RPM.
series 5's have lighter rotors then the older ones, the NA's went up to 8000RPM, i think the turbos were still 7000 though.
Anybody got a S5 turbo II who can verify this?
As for the rev-limit, I know S5's are someplace upwards of 8500RPM and S4's don't have a rev-limiter. most 1st gens use a distributor ignition, thus no rev limit.
I dunno about 3rd gens.
Then theres the renesis motor from the rx8 - 9000rpm, don't know where the limiter is.
With any of them it's not going to matter unless you've got it ported to make power up high.
thanks for actually taking some time to answer me
what i was really asking is like if it doesnt have a rev limiter will it go up to 13 or 14k rpms? and how can you port them? remember im new so dont make fun of me lol I would really like to sell my crx and my supra and buy an rx7 which is the best year? i would like to buy a n/a one and then go all motor (i think like that porting thing your talking about lol)
