2007 Auto RX-8 won't rev past 7500

Post by crteezy »

Hi guys, A new user here :D I just bought an auto 2007 RX-8 recently and noticed it won't rev past 7500 rpm. It goes up to 7.5k and gives the beep tone but doesn't go further. Just wanted to know if it is a normal thing for that car.

That’s it’s Rev limit as an Auto normally is a 192 which only revs to 7.5k

....unless you take it to RRP and get it mini mapped :thumright:

Screamed mine to 8500rpm today once fully warmed up and loved every gear change!

Hi and :welcome: crteezy. :) As as already been said, the Autos were 192s, so the rev limit is 7500 ... it can be raised with a mini-map, but I don't know if that has been (or can be) done with an Auto.

How to make sure if it's 192 or 212 ?

They're both the same thing.
212 JDM PS = 192 PS everywhere else
the same as
250 JDM PS = 231 PS.

If your tacho goes to 9000, it's a 192, if it goes to 10, it's a 231.

BTW: in de US they had 6 speed autos with 231bhp, but only on facelift me thinks.
