Is there anyone out there with an 11k Redline? I just wanted to know what kind of setup you were using if you had it. I decided to post because i saw the SPoon gauge cluster and almost laid one in my pants cause of the 11k redline.

 

Spoon cluster maxes out at 11K, the redline is not 11K. Also nobody in there right mind would consider revving that high on a B series motor. 10K is pushing it.

I saw an option video of the 10K redline spoon car. What i saw about 10 minutes into track driving was the motor blow up. This was a spoon motor that had a 2 piece crank girdle. One just like the S2000. So with this in mind, why would you want to rev to 11K?

 

i think that the skunk2 teg revs to 10,500 or so

 

I don't think it's possible to do safely with any honda, short of the motorcycles of course. Or the CART cars/F1 and all that.

 

I meant the the max on the gauge cluster. My mistake but if i had a cam that made power up at 11k rpm, i would love to rev up there. High rev's are good! I think everyone else out there wouldn't mind revving up that high if they made power and if it was possible still keeping in mind the gas mileage assuming it can be street driven.

 

On an old ad, JUN stated that its valvesprings were good up to 13000rpms.

 

we need a spec A race motor from a built ae86 ;-)

Takumi style!!!

 

Helkl yeah! Initial-D 0wns j00

 

i plan to have a 14k redline someday

 

My sentiments,,,

Kaboom!

 

or hell why not a 20k redline?

 

RPM = Ruin Peoples Motors

 

ericks racings civic revs to 10,800.

 

Hello, my name is Michael Schumacher. My car revs to 18k RPMS But it also doesnt have any cams or valvesprings either

I have something that rev's to 14500... And, thats not even in the red yet.

 

I stop at 10k. No reason to go over it.

And my motor will last, contrary to what you all think.

 

toda valve spring, stock valve, toda vtec killer cam(C). redline 11k

 

you might be confusing that video with a Hot Version video.The Drift King encountered what the subtitle said "computer problems" after a few hot laps...not a blown motor. If you notice..he never really took it past 10k anyways..

 

I was about to say that I know two people that rev to 10K. Steve is one...

 

See my video and proof alone that you can rev that high. Also I have a stock internal engine with only Ti-retainers for valve train mods. And yes the engine will last as long as its tuned correctly and the engine is balanced. Heck I'm FI (supercharged too!) and it can be done. Just check out my videos on the dyno of me taking the tach needle to 10k. Since its off by 400rpms, we'll say its 9600rpms. The only thing that will kill the engine is unbalanced setups, poor tuning, bad driving, and making more power then the engine can handle.

 

You would need a head job along with upgraded valvetrain. i would send the head to port flow, and use the complete Ferrea vlavetrain (stainless steel valves, titanium retainer, dual valve springs, spring locator) with a setup like that u could rev to about 12k. The important thing u need to keep in mind is that ur gonna be losing power after 9500rpms, and the life of your motor would be as long as those reving lower and probaly making more power. The key of racing is not to see who can rev the highest, but who can make the stongest power band, and be able to have that motor last. Look at all the muscle cars, they make like 275+ HP @ 6500 rpm. They don't need to rev that high because all that power is already made @ a low rpm.

 

racing application , besides is not just the cams also its the high CR that you need to make power! other wise is pointless.

 

Well the video i saw he was holding it at 10K plus or minus a little for quite a while. Perhaps it was an ecu malfunction, i dont know. It was a white CTR though on a closed road course in Japan, that i do know.

 

Once again, people speaking without a clue.
