TrueDC2

Eva01

OUCH! That's why nobody but me will drive my R... Good luck to your friend on fixing that.

Dr Pooface

He just took it to the top of first and boom? Stock engine?

Damn... I hit my rev limiter kind of often... that was the result??

98R-1144

shouldn't the rev limiter kick in if he left it in 1st and gunned it unless he gunned it regardless and repeatedly?
or going downhill?

Oh... ok im lying just because I want to post up some bs right??? Whatever dude. I was in the passenger seat when it happened. Anyway the car doesnt have a rev limiter. Built head with Skunk 2 stage 2 cams, valves, and retainers, jdm 4-1 header, mugen twinloop, fpr etc... It was a beautiful car and it ran great. When it happened, he took it to about 8500 rpms. Tried to throw it into second and bam. A real loud noise the engine cut off and we coasted down the street.

How many miles on the block, on the valve springs, and which valve springs were being run?

the tach might have read 8500rpms but some itr tachs are known to be off by a couple hundred rpms

Must have hit the redline/rev limit in 1st, let the clutch out, never got the car out of first, pushed the clutch back in while gassing it. I dunno. You just don't ruin an engine by hitting the rev limiter in 1st unless something was bound to break sometime soon anyways, making it only a coincidence that it blew just as he reached the top of 1st.



sorry to hear about what happened, whatever exactly happened.

I think you should add that the car didn't have a rev limiter just like in your post a few posts down... there seem to be a few confused readers here

Its time to hit up Len for some Oem replacement. Maybe time for a 2.0l build up.
