I wanted everyones input on how high I can rev safely before screwing stuff up on my set up...

1991 crx si 120,000 miles
Mini me conversion using....
-d16z6 exospeed stage II head (port/polish. ISKY Performance valve springs and Titanium retainers, new valve seals, hot tank, resurface and 3 angle valve job) w/ Street A6 cam shaft.
-P28 ecu w/ d16z6 distributor plugs etc...
-stock bottom end (will probably be replaced with a newer block)
-Intake, headers and all the basics.

Thanks for the help guys.

until the power drops off

 

the only thing youre going to screw up are the rod bolts chances are...

 

Oh I forgot, I will probably have the pistons, rod, etc all changed out... I guess what I am looking for is how much rev can the stock block handle? Thanks for all who participated!

 

anybody know how high of a rev a stock block can hold? From what exospeed.com says, my top should with hold up to 9000rpms... Not too sure about the bottom.

 

not much over 8K. dyno it and see where it makes power.

agreed. You could probably hit 8500 with some more internal work.

 

Ok cool, my goal was to hit 8000. Thanks guys!

Why would anyone have a goal of attainable rpm?

Why would you "want" to rev to 8?

Build your motor to make power, not to rev out for no reason other than it being the new ricey thing to do.

"Damn yo, My new JDM Mooogen chip lets me rev my stock B16 to 11000"

"Thats tite yo, how can I rev to 11000?"

 

The goal here was to get a ball park figure of how much my lower end can handle without damaging it. The top is capable of handling up to 9000rpms and the cam makes good power along all rpms. So I wanted to get some opinions on how much the stock bottom can handle, thats all. So please take your tread crap somewhere else Mr. Trial user.
