Thread: Rev Limit?

put it in neutral, hold the accelerator flat to the floor.

that's the limit.

you don't need a tacho in a perentie, you have four usable gears in each range, and theres only about 1/3rd of the usuable rev range overlapped in each gear, its not like you have a 64 speed compound box under there that means you have about 6 gears that will all do the same road speed for various engine speeds to allow you to maintain speed in changing conditions of road and headwind at varying degrees of fuel effeciency as you massage gears to maintain the ideal maximum torque RPM of the engine.

there are other far more important gauges for you to have especially if you turbo it than the Tacho. The really important ones you either already have or have an idiot light for.

I'm guessing Chris is asking the max. RPM as he is trying to select a tacho.......the way I read his post he doesn't have one fitted.

I'm not sure what ranges tachos come in.......my bet would be the smallest

I have never had the need look at a tacho on any type of car I have driven.......on road or of road

well aware that you don't need a tacho.
I would just like to have one, and trying to work out if I need one that goes past 4k RPM or not.

Just found a wikipedia page for Isuzu engines. 3200 rpm max.
