Heh, I tried searching before asking the question and found nothing but I honestly didn't think of looking at dyno sheets. :P
Half of the pictures don't work but according to myfonti's dyno chart I think the torque and hp curves just flatten out on the top end so it'd be worth it to twist it till it twists no more!

I've been told the valvetrain is good to 8 grand (or am I recalling my dsm...) either way, the rev limiter is very conservative at 7200. I found myself plowing into the rev limiter today in first gear for the first time ever and don't have to think much of it.

The most I TRY to rev to is 6500.
When NA i only ever hit the limiter once, maxed out on the motorway (freeway) and that was some crazy Japanese speed limiter, not the rpm limiter.
Since the Greddy install though it's taken a little geting used to how quickly the revs build.
I wouldn't recommend bouncing it off the limiter too much though, why not get a megasquirt or something? then you can set your own rpm limit

On the 1.8:
Valve float at 7700rpm
Rods weaken at 8000+
oil pump cavitation at 8500+
1.6 is probably close to that. Just multiply torque by the gear ratio and figure out how hard you have to rev it before the number is equal in the next gear. On a stock 1.8, it's like 7200rpm 1-2, then 7000 2-3, then 6800 3-4 and 4-5.

Yeah...The canyon I frequent has a few of those corners....I wish 2nd gear was a lil bit longer......and having no LSD dosent help when the torque hits...... makes for a slidey time if I press a lil to far down to early...all this while going downhill makes for a funtime though
