Ok boys and gools
ive been wondering about this for the last couple days.since i cant really afford to buy a 1.8 block and build it ill just work with what i have. (b16)
hows about revving to 9k(with itr valvetrain...well at least half of it for me )
with gsr cams .
.82 a/r 60-1 should make power to 9000?
and im sure the rest of the motor can handle those revs.
any thoughts?

*Boostwerks*

your building this motor up arn't you?

Just wondering. I know how you feel right now though....just waiting and waiting for the money and parts to collect so you can start boosting the bad-boy.

If properly built the motor should be fine. I say go for it!

VaporTrail

with a proper flowing intake manifold, a .63 a/r 60-1 will flow to 9k. Hell a 50 trim E housing would

LS-hatch

Is the bottom end stock? If so will the it be able to handle it?

Speedworks801

I do it daily with Skunk2 springs and retainers and a 60-1 with .63 a/r.. No problem.

Go for it.

I would be skeptical about running boost up to 9000 rpm with a stock bottom end! That turbo will hold boost up to 9000 but I don't know about the stock rods. I guess it depends on how much boost you really want to run?

buy mine... it's built, it's dirt cheap, and no waiting..plus you will help my hot rod project...

hey guys i always thought that REVing only helps if the cams make HP in that rang. I know that in N/A you would only rev to 9k if your cams carried the HP that far.(example: no need to rev to 9k if you LS stops making power at 6700? even if your valvetrain allows you to. RIGHT???)

yeah, but you have the power of positive boost taking care of teh power problem...God I love turbos...

thats only if your running high boost correct?? i know at 6 pounds your peak power will be at 7800rpms with those cams..

SiRkid

thanks for the input guys.
i think the stock bottom end could handle it but im not planning to run stock rods etc.
any other info?

How about a fully built b20vtec turbo, Can I rev it up to 9k? is it safe?

KOTSEMOTO

yes, it is safe. it is just a question of reliability. your rod ratios are bad so it wont last as long as the ones with better rod ratio.

SiRkid

what he said but if its built well and tuned well, youll be fine. im planning this on a b16 so .. ya know

****, I had my built LS up to 8800 already. 9000 will come when I tune it....although its rich as hell right now.
I say go for it, just be sure to get the motor built and maybe some good ignition components like a coil.
