on a fully built race motor whats my limitation to reving on a boosted Z6

i want to know how high is everyone reving too and if thats the limit that this motor can do?

 

bump for the night

 

bump cos i'd like to know too!

 

What is your definition of a "fully built" race motor?

 

78mm sleeved block
ported head along with the nessasary componets for the valvetrain
T61 running on alky

 

8000-9000rpm depending on the cam and what valvetrain components you buy. You're going to need a nice set of rods and rod bolts too.

 

From what I've read, the issue of reving to high on a D-series becomes fast piston speed from the r/s ratio causing alot of stress on the walls and rods, and ZEX man had mentioned something about tranny gearing.

 

keep on coming

Good reply. I plan on revving mine to 8000 without problems. Again, like Ryan said, you need a cam that can provide power to arond 8000. I think the consensus is the 59300 cam.

HTH

 

who makes the best valve train for the D

Rocket makes a FI cam but i havent realy looked into that much

i would love to use his products seeing how his stuff isnt all mainstream and still preforms better than the others

Rocket can you help me out?

 

Zex Man doesn't rev over 7000 on his even with the zex cam and valve spring setup(I think that's what I read?). Not sure if his head is ported though.

 

only revs to 7k?

i would think these motors will make power past that no?

His isn't done up as far as I remember. I think vavlesprings, that's it. He can jump in though and correct. me.

Turbodcx revs to 8500 I believe.

 

Let me see if I can find his post, because I could be wrong...

 

wow this thread is flying lol

keep it up

more input from the racers

 

no prob's up to 9K rpm
if you have:
balanced crankshaft and rotating assembly
acl crank bearing and rod glider bearing
good rod bolt and rod
spring, retainer, and of course a cam that can provide you with the need's of your engine up to 9000 rpm.

in other word, you need's to really want it to rev that high,

Here are some quotes from ZEX Man's replies in this post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=718965
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ZEX Man &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
Cylinder Head:
D16Z6 SOHC V-TEC cyl. head (unported)
D16Z6 intake manifold (port matched)
Stock throttle body
ZEX™ valve springs (912-16)
ZEX™ camshaft (59300)
Performance distributor with MSD wires

I shift at 7200.......On the dyno, the engine makes peak power at 6900, so a little over that has proven to be the best for et's. FAST makes some very nice stuff, I really like their datalogger. I have learned a bunch about the car/engine since using it.

With a ported head/intake manifold power should peak higher in the rpm range I would think.

 

so zexman is running a basicly stock head minus the cam and springs!

i think with a better flowing head reving high will be atainable

 

wow i would think that the 53900 in his engine would make his peak power over 7000 rpm's. stock peak hp is at 6600, as i found out first hand when i dyno'ed.

 

not to jack the thread but what u guys think would be a good rev limit for my setup...

2000 D16Y8 head
Crower springs and retainers
Zex 105300 cam (the Y8 version of the Zex Z6 Street/Strip cam)
turbo is a precision SC61 (stage 5 turbine wheel)
the bottom end is a Z6 with 9:1 JE's and Eagle rods but with the y8 the cr should be like 9.5:1 or so. My guess is 8000-8200 rpm would be safe
