Thru The Gears

I have a BF mk1 T and just wish for someone to clarify a few things.

I don't often "push" the bionic beast but on occasion I have taken up a challenge. Sometimes with my rev-head son who owns an EL XR8 which he has just modded with a supercharger!??!

Anyway, just wondering, there was a time that he caught me unawares at the lights and in my attempt to reclaim him my power dropped off momentarily in 3rd (rev limiter?) didn't actually see the revs when this happened but it would have been high up there. Can someone confirm the rev limit per gear? I have a stock BF, 6 speed manual. I heard that 6100 rpm is the limit in first gear and then go to about 6000 each other gear. Is this reasonable for a stock T?

6100 I believe. You must have been moving if you were hitting the limiter in thrid!!! Long "private" road?

Watch your oil pump gears...

Around 6k sounds about right.

Of course, changing gear will give the best result over 5500.

Rev limiter will be the same in every gear, however the speed limiter should cut engine output at 250kph from memory.
