My cam's powerband falls between 3500-8250. My Mini'd growl is loud. Neighbours complain if I rev it to hard.

Normal driving around gear changes, maybe around the 3500 mark. For flogging it, and making a loud sound, I go up to around 5500.

Honda CBR250RR's Redline at a genuine 18,000rpm ..funny story though..haha all the other teams trying to make motors that rev, but blow up.



5000-7000 is a big range..that's like 120-160km/h..you wouldn't hit much past 5 if at all in a clubby s if anywhere near stock..



You need to give it a rev and clean all the cobwebs out

For me..7000..tops in the first couple of gears..once it hits 3rd 6.5k...Around town anywhere from 3-5k...usually fanging it around traffic though

Another zero, zip, nadda here.

But mostly sorted now even if it is still in bits - am advised a 7500 redline is realistic for what we are putting in Donkey2.

my bad boy mini clubman 1100cc purrrrrrsss (idles) @ a nice 7-800 rpm, and i change gears around 3-4500 rpm, any higher is unnessesary, any higher and i dont wanna ruin my new gearbox ...keep it real fellas.
no heros here.

yeah twista, me thinking the same lines as you atm with Vivs
new gearbox and block, plus i cant go revving her tits off just yet
as she will need to be run in b4 i start thrashing her (gently )

the old 1100cc (blue one) used to be i think 5k when the valves started to
get bouncy, but there was never any use pushing the poor thing that
hard, not much extra use (besides kinda fun, she sounded nice!

4500 - 5000, she's really just a big girl and i would feel bad if i went any higher..

well i would rev my babe to around 6500rpm on a daily basis but if im trying to keep up with my mates vw golf vr6 i have to rev her to 7000 just to get every little bit out off her..so i can keep up with him..still cant keep up with him but the mini still looks better.

Which silly bugga voted 9000+

On my Moke according to the new tacho I just put in, I don't get much above 5000rpm when pushing in any gear.. Tacho says I am doing 4000rpm at 100/kph????

Engine is 1310cc with extractors & single 1 3/4 SU...

a big fat 0 at the moment.....

But, If I can't get mine up over 7000 with my new motor, I will sulk in the corner.

You'll be able to do 7000 for sure, just make sure it's run in first! Remember the "Don't let this happen to you" conrod

Chong, images of that 1275 and the hole in the side will scar me for life....

How well does the A series engines take to being revved out a lot?
I wouldn't thrash a mini, but would like to get it moving every now n then beyond an old barina or something.
I've been told if you take a 1275 past 3500-4000 every gear change, you will need a new engine after 30,000 kms. I thought this was pure crap, but was the guy right?
