Ok I just got type R clusters and we just installed my swap out yesterday, and I know how Im gonna build my motor, and I also know that the GSR redlines at 8200rpms, but after I rebuild can I tach it at 9500? and max tach 10k?, this is a daily driven Civic, so can I tach it out at 9500rpms with Hondata?

 

You can if you want to

For me? Not without a fully built motor.

And I do mean FULLY built.

 

It depends upon your cams, your valvetrain and how well balanced your bottom end is. To handle 10,000 RPM's reliably, I'd look into some lighter rods, forged high compression pistons, Toda valvetrain components, and some very long duration cams. You can't just rebuild the motor and expect it to hold together at that kind of velocity.

 

yeah u do prove a good point, how much are Toda Valvetrian?

I have a full toda vavle train...but I wouldnt recomend revving to 10k everyday. In fact i dont think I ever would... the max I would take mine is 9500 with my spec B's

 

not everday just like once in awhile

Toda is expensive but well worth it. Expect to pay a good $400 for the springs. Find a decent set of titanium retainers ($200), and consider upgrading valves to something like Ferrea ($300). Cam choice is up to you, I'd do some research before making any decisions but expect to pay upwards of $1000 for a good set. Also expect to have another $1500 into the bottom end, you shouldn't need to sleeve the block if it's balanced well enough.

 

umm, it all depends on how you build your motor...

 

its built bottom up and wouldnt hondata increase the rev?

 

You are gonna need a **** load of building to make any power up there, casue I don't know many street driven cars that make power at 10K..

I don't know of many professional drag cars that make power at 10k. Honestly the only cars that need to rev that high are circuit racing cars, and many of them make suitable power at much lower rpm's. The only real reason I see for building a motor to rev that high is simply to say that you have a motor that can rev that high.

 

ahh hell, well poop! i dont feel like making it tach all that way anyways to much of a hassle thanks for the info guys.
