ok guys...if this is in the wrong forum..sorry..just move it at will...but anyways..im going to get out of the turbo world for awhile and try some allmotor setups....ive heard of hondas being able to rev. too fast..is this true and why/what kind of effect will it have? Thanks

NSX Bob

I don't get it. What is "too fast?" Too fast for what? Need more info.

JunIntegra

haha, too fast?what is too fast
well to answer your Q, there has been no cases as far as i know of a motor revving "too fast".....if anything, not fast enough

MEANB18

I would think a turbo motor would rev faster than an all motor car when in full boost... but maybe I'm just white.

lmao

Ok..besides the smart *** comments....somebody told me that if the motor revs too fast it could start to break down...as in he broke his cams due too his motor revving too fast during a pass! so...back to my basic question..is it possible to rev a motor too fast..?

ITRswapandslow

hahhahahhahah, right
your friend is a moron


you can't have a engine rev "too fast" the faster it revs while in gear...the faster you will accerlerate.

a broken cam is the result of install error or abuse, or it's a mechanically defective piece

Perhaps your friend was referring to over revving a motor?

Example: 9k on a stock b16a?

10seceg

alright..thats all i needed to know for my project....

MEANB18

is it a school project? Really, over revving is a no-brainer. On stock parts, you can't rev up to 10,000 daily and expect it to still run like a honda. Besides, you must first come up with a motor that will make power to 10,000 and beyond.

meanb18- my question wasnt over revving..read and you would see that my question was..is it possible to rev a motor too fast(too fast does not mean over rev)...and all i needed was a yes or no answer but some people dont realize this and continue to post ***** more....but clearly from the ignorant responses ive gotten so far people either cant see that OR its just there way of saying....no you cant rev an engine too fast....

No. The faster the engine revs, the faster it gets down the track. My engine revs too slow

ok an example would be a light weight flywheel. having one would cause the motor to rev faster because of less mass to turn! verus having a heavier one.
a motor is all in sync so it will not "rev too fast" if by reving, something breaks because of "reving too fast" there is a mechanical malfunction or incorrect possible air/fuel mixture!

yea...and ive heard you can buy a flywheel too lite....does it just throw the whole engine out of balance if its too lite?...

S@nt0s

too light will cause you to BOG at bottom end without enough power to compensate. yes you can get a flywheel that is "too light"

sorry im kinda new to the "allmotor" side of things and i think ive come up w/ a way to free up a lot of power..but maybe make the motor rev too fast...but...if it can rev fast enough then ive got nothing to worry about..thanks anyways

S@nt0s

turbo or all motor the same thing is behind it all the only diff is the means of inducing air thats all the mechanics is all the same bra!

10seceg

yea i know its all BASICALLY the same... ...but when you are considering power and gettin it to the ground and the feel of raw power that pulls you away from the rest instead of easing into the power via turbo....its a totally different ball game...bra

S@nt0s

believe me i knwo got rid of the turbo set up i had to go ALL MOTA!!!! BRAAAAAA hehehe Good Luck hope it helped!

10seceg

Thanks...im going to try something different w/ my block...might take a few trys at the machine shop but...hopefully if it works...not to bragg but its going to be hell! but...hope for the best! thanks for tha help!

S@nt0s

hey if it does hook us up!!!!!

10seceg

ahh..i might...depends on what its worth....lol JK mang!
