why do you want to do that?

that limiter is there for a reason. that motor wont make any more power above the limiter anyway.

Come on now, we all know that every motor makes more power at 13,000 rpms.

F1 cars rev to like 15,000 rpms, so it Makes sense right?

to Op.

People with built motors don't make post inquiring as to how they should go about raising their revlimit.

People with built/boosted motors don't have to ask how to remove a rev limit.

The stock crank can hold up to 600whp. Plenty of people pushin 500-800 whp on stock cranks and even the rod bearings.

Don't waste your time on half of those parts for a turbo. If you're going to boost it, get good valves, retainers, and springs. Maybe pistons if you need them.

Hondata is a finicky program and I hate wrking with it. Crome is free and I've helped tune a couple low boost projects on it. It's easy to use and most tuners prefer Crome or Neptune over hondata where I've been.

Even with a 500whp you'd want a rev limiter, with a hella badass motor that you've invested time and lots of money why would you risk blowing it up like that?

Your motor is too valuable with a strong build to rev it like a ricer.

So you're doing all that expensive *** bullshit and it's NOT tuned (as any tuning program can remove the limiter)????

All of that, no tune.

Hrm.

All of that, no tune.

Hrm....

All of that and no tune...

Hrrmm.......

hmmm just thought id highlight a few more things... like stated before, a new crank is unnecessary and i believe if you were to get one, it would have to be custom made. as for oversized pistons- what size since anything above 75.5mm will probably require sleeves. oversized valves also are not necessary unless you want 450+whp lol ive seen multiple setups with mostly stock heads push 400whp. and the hv oil pump... i havent seen one of those for the d series unless you get it custom made or do the endyn modification. and all together why do all this on a d series if you are only thinking of turboing it? you wont break 170whp n/a so whats the point? even with turbo you probably wont need to rev past 8200-8500 so keep that in mind unless you have money to keep building engines. and lastly, also like stated above, there is no s500. now before you waste more time, money, and threadspace, do some more research... you are kind of on track, but not there yet.
