Hey,

What RPM would an internaly standard 998 engine reach.
Just wondering as im looking for a Tacho.
Ive found one made by Pricol, 85mm, which is 8000rpm. $145 (in dash)
clasic looks for my clubby.

also, is this still ok, if/when i install a hotter 1100engine??

thanks.

a streetable mini shouldnt reach more than 7000 when highly worked, so an 8000rpm tacho will be more than enough.

a stocko 998 will rev to like 6000 if you're lucky.. redline at 5500

cheers for that.

our 998cc motor in BASHER will not rev past 4500rpm no matter how long i hold it flat thats with a 1.5inch su, extractors and all new ignition.

i think your wheel needs a new squirrel

yeah, i've had some stocko 1100's that won't rev past about 5000

The 998 is a strong engine. With the right mods (cam, head, carb and exhaust/extractors) it will rev hard all day.

I've revved NAV's 998 to around 6,000 a couple of times accidently (i was busy ) and can say there is really nothing after 4500 rpm anyway.
I don't think the cam in them is any good after that. Maybe an re-13 would sort that out?

meenis 1100 bounced on 6200 the other day and its bog standard, but i wouldnt rev it that high again, i keep it at 4.5 max

i did a 1:43 around mallala and i limited myself to 5000rpm
my engine will rev to 6000 easily, and still be pulling hard,
but for the big revs you need a big carb/manifold/valves/extractors/exhaust
and double valve springs

Mine starts valve bouncing at about 5500.
Just a 1100, stocko head, 40 thou bore.
