....... well, i've been taking it to 8600rpm ... 40000 miles worth. No problem yet.


K motors are built for all-motor setup. You can easily net 240whp with cams/boltons and proper fuel management.

 

K motors don't like to rev as high is B motors is a more correct statement.

 

my 2zzge went to 8,900rpms many times, no problems

 

i take my dx to 6900 rpms......

 

well actually h series motors dont mind high rpm's when built either but there seems to be some problem with the bearing clearance in k motors that does not supply enough lubrication at such a high rpm and have a tendancy to do stupid shit

 

I guess it all depends on how you build the motor.

 

if someone has to spend $20,000 for a motor build just to rev to 9000+ on a $20,000 car they're moronic, You really wont produce that much more power on a 300 rpm difference. And I dont even think their trannys could handle that high of revs!!Just my .02

$2,350 to be exact, but $1850 for me

Insert from Toda's ..... "The TODA N2 ECU program uses special fuel and ignition timing maps, 9000rpm redline, modified VVT camshaft timing (cam gears are not necessary), and two throttle input dependant VTEC Activation..."

 

So for the same amount of money to slap a junkyard turbo on your car, you'de be willing to raise the RPM a little and get....NO noticeable gain from your car?

 

Junkyard turbo?

let's see .... the cheapest turbo kit is $2700 without bov and intercooler and tuning.
