Just curious I am wondering what the CA18DET rev cut off (fuel cut) is. I have seen somone say 7000, 7200, 7800 and 8000 I am just wondernig what is is. And what it can safely be set to with a Bee*R rev limiter. With just your basic bolt ons.

I would set it at a nice low 7400 so you can bounce it off the limiter all day for autoX or whatever and not worry about spinning a bearing or something. No need to rev past that unless you have cams and a big turbo.

Stock rev limit is somewhere right around there. 7200-7600 or something.

Unless its built for it, don't spin it past 8k. I'd keep it at 7.5k unless you need just that little bit more gearing for the track.
