I want to know if this is possible. Its probably very newb question but is it possible to have 10k redline? i know the s2k has 9k redline, but i was wondering if anyone has any expertise on high redline theory. How and what do you have to do to go pass 9k redline. Im planning to just do ls/vtech.

Thnx

 

are u wearing a flame suit?

 

haha...what you need to redline at 10k for? even if you could im sure it wouldnt be to safe on a ls/vtec conversion.

 

Damn my bad *puts on the flame suit*

 

if an s2k doesn't need a 10k redline, i don't think an ls/vtec will. still, i think it's possible, yet highly impractical.

 

i think inline 4 sells a spoon built motor that will rev to 11k.
but i could be wrong.

 

get a motorcycle if you wana go past 10k

 

Chip/Pistons/Rods/Springs/Retainers/and maybe cams if you wanna make any power up there, and fuel enrichment.

Im sure I missed something, but thats my stab at it anyway.
Ohh, and its Vtec by the way.

 

Nothing needs a really high redline. Nothin needs 500whp, but its still very nice to have.

check out this vid...

true! well, if the man wants to rev up to 10k, when in fact his power might drop off somewhere at 8-8.5k, more power to him. i was merely speaking of the impracticality of it, especially on a motor that was not factory built for the purpose.

 

If you want a 10K redline and want to make power and be reliable up in that end of the rpm range its going to require alot of money, and its certainly a diminishing return. Stock fuel cut is under 8500 rpm for a GSR/ITR and those engines arent making power in that range (it drops off). Ever driven a S2K? Go do that and tell us how cool the 9K redline is driving around town...... I'd trade a big fat midrange torque curve for a 9K redline anyday.

 

Jimmy Johnson had a small block chevy that was turning huge power from 5k all the way to 10.5

If you don't know who Jimmy J. is he is a world famous NHRA drag racer.. As was posted before this cost - a lot to say the least

 

I know rotary engines, like in the RX-7, can turn like 12k rpm

 

cams and valve train upgrades can set you a little higher with tuning and adjustments...

 

It is possible toda stage 3 cams you are going to want to balance that crank change your rods, pistons, valves retainers, valve springs. hmmmmm let me think but should not be to much more than that. Oh yea you may want to sleeve your block to take that kind of stress.

 

Kinda a silly question... reving to anything is possible. I am not trying to be mean but by asking it it shows you dont know diddly about how your engine works or at least little, but the good thing is you care enough to ask. Read read read... become one with your b seris engine. If you learn the in and outs of it then you will have a good basis to learn about pretty much any other engine there is out there. They are relatively the same. I strongly suggest you visit http://www.teamintegra.com and check out their articles. Most are very well written. Some are long reads but its worth it.

 

Not on the street or track. 8-9K is all you will see. Dont spread misinformation.

 

Nice vid!! That thing moves.

 

Technically, rotary engines will never stop revving. There is no red line on them. The tach just has numbers with no red zone. However, a light comes on the dash that tells you when you should shift right quick or else you're gonna shred your alternator. Because you'll actually destroy a pulley on those motors before you over-rev it.
