Guest TRACK Guests Posted 14/12/04 11:55 AM Share Posted 14/12/04 11:55 AM Mine will hit the limiter anywhere between 5,800 & 6,200. It doesn't really seem to depend on conditions, as a romp through the gears will yield a different rev limiter value in 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear. Haven't hit the limiter in 4th....yet! (if it will, will they??) Really its a bit of a lottery, as to where the limiter will spoil the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 14/12/04 01:49 PM Share Posted 14/12/04 01:49 PM But with the right crank, rods and pistons, 7500 can be easily achieved with this engine. Just a matter of money and balance.

What did you have to do to make sure the engine will handle it? Mind giving us an idea of $?Wish you were coming to the end of 2004 QLD cruise - I'd love to go for a ride.

What did you have to do to make sure the engine will handle it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Nizpro rebuild the engines with rods/pistons suitable for high revs, and both my old and new engines are capable of higher revs. Motec controls the rev limit.Although the forthcoming Edit will allow the rev limit to be changed, you are highly likely to destroy the motor if you increase the rev limit without changing the rods.I've just had the reverse situation with my Sti, when going from 2L to 2.5L. Given that I've kept the stock Sti rods I've had to reduce the rev limit from 8000 revs to 7400 revs to protect the motor.I'm not sure of the $cost for rods alone, as all my work was packaged.After being used by high revving motors I've found the 5800 limit very hard to cope with. Remember that although the motor doesn't rev, it's design does produce good torque.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DucatiJB may be able to give you more info on brands. Then there are forged pistons to buy and h/d rod bolts. Wouldn't get much change from $10K I expect.
