ilh Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm driving an '06 Outback LL Bean loaner today with the 3.0. Why does it have a higher rev limit of 7000rpm compared to the 2.5 turbo engine? Just curious. It's got more metal flying around in there. --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Just cause it's a different engine and it still makes some power up there. By 6500 on 2.5t the turbo is maxed out and power is falling quickly, but with a tune, the rev limit is raised to 7200 moved to NA powertrain My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 The rev limit on the 2.5 is there mostly due to the turbo... like stated above, it doesn't make much up there. However, the EJ25 long block is exactly the same as the one in the STi... whose revlimit is 7,000rpm. There are users here, like BOXRPWR, who have a revlimit of 7,500. There are STi owners spinning their EJ25s beyond 7,500 with GT35s and what not... frankly, I don't think its healthy. There's just too much stroke for such a high rev limit.
