here are the specs

7k on build as of now

jdm b16a head:

golden eagle ls vtec kit obviously

tranny:
99 ctr tranny with lsd
stage 3 unsprung clutch and flywheel kit

fully tuned on s300 on a dyno jet and made 224 @ 8900


now the question is if i wanna go to the track or get on it here and there,what can i rev this thing to 8900 since its tuned there? or what, i do want it to last,ive had a few a opinions face to face they say if it made power there and its tuned to there u can take it there? but idk thats why i got u guys lol i haven taken it past 8300 and that was only in first gear, any and all info it greatly appreciated thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

 

shift were you stop making power

 

I am pretty sure; you want it to last a considerable length of time and that is only going to happen if you meticulously maintain it like you would a PORSCHE,or a LAMBO without the service costs! I would also inquire to see if you could get an external (remote) oil cooler, temp. controlled fan, AN lines to and from as well as the remote filter relocation kit! It makes a hell of a diff when it comes to daily driven reliability!
Now as far as REV's go, there are a few key components that you have to make it possible to turn it up to 9,500 but, there are others that make it even more favorable but I can not reveal those as I am the LS-VTEC KING and secrets are what makes me money in the long run! I have a reputation for making them last till around 70k-90k of abuse with piston rings being the only drawback due to the rev's and rod/stroke ratio taking its toll on the most used parts of the internal combustion process! this is something that can't be helped with those RPM's being turned..........
My suggestion to you would be take it to 9k only in 1st and 2nd gear but stay within the 8,500-8,800 range for 3rd and 4th gear as to maintain the longevity quotient and reliability factor and you should be just fine playing it safe........I didn't see anything about the valvetrain bro...............I hope that you are fully prepared the correct way or failure may follow more unexpected than most!

 

i would sure hope its fully built....kinda hard to run a motor thats not fully built.

 

thx to the top i still would like some other opinions thanks for the ones so far

 

You need common sense. If your car stop making power at 8900 why rev it any higher? please enlighten me WHY you would even consider doing that? cause its cool to rev high?

 

Yes it is very cool to rev to 10k! LOL

 

i dont wanna rev past 8900 i wanna know if it is safe to take it there is all,u know like here there when ever i feel froggy i shift at 8200 in first and second as of now just seeing if i can safely run it to 8800 or so with the build i got atleast in 1,2 like 8400,8500 in 3,4 lmk what u guys think

 

just rev it to the moon.
I think supertech valvetrain is safe to rev upto 10k+

 

dont run LS rod bearings i'll tell you that.. not gonna last past 8k rpm

 

Malarky!!! It's based upon the entire balance of the engine and how the tolerances were of the bearings. Whether or not they are LS or GS-R has little bearing.
