2007 Auto RX-8 won't rev past 7500
Hi guys, A new user here 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
Screamed mine to 8500rpm today once fully warmed up and loved every gear change!

Hi and 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 ?Shagrington wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 5:51 amHi and 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.

Re: 2007 Auto RX-8 won't rev past 7500
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.crteezy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 3:44 pmHow to make sure if it's 192 or 212 ?Shagrington wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 5:51 amHi and crteezy.

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