Luxluc Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Mrs turtle summed it up really but will be going by Lee's & Ryan's advice for what is best rev limit wise Ryan normally sets up the rev limiter to the max where the turbo(s) are still giving a power increase. One mine, power dropped after 7.9k, so Ryan set the limiter to 8k. Above that, the turbo stops making more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Have you built the head at all? I have ferrera valves, springs and retainers and don't run 8k....not sure what I do run to be honest. I was always a believer in keeping the rev limit low as it meant I could bounce off it for longer and with less worry of causing damage.

I was always a believer in keeping the rev limit low as it meant I could bounce off it for longer and with less worry of causing damage. A built block can run 8000+ rpm. The stock rods, and particularly the stock rod bolts don't like to be pushed above 7.500 rpm. Whether a head is built or not won't influence the max rpm.

TheTurtleshead Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Whether a head is built or not won't influence the max rpm. Valve float due to stock springs for one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Valve float due to stock springs for one..... Haha :d You got me .. of course when running higher revs, you need to go with upgraded springs. I meant that a build head (stage 2, 3, ...) won't influence the rev limiter.

markssupra Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Well thought I should update this as a few things have changed, the following purchases were made and most are currently en-route: - Big Twins - Greddy TD05's, unsure on whether to recirculate or not, the setup has a screamer pipe now. - HRE C93 Wheels - Front 18x9.5, Rear 18x11 - Virtual Works plenum & throttle body - Custom built turbo back exhaust system - Brembo F50 front brakes (356mm iirc) - OEM front mud flaps - for the great price of a bacon roll ) And I have reached a decision on the gearbox/diff combo: - V161 6 speed - RPS triple carbon clutch & flywheel (thanks to those that let me test clutches today ) which needs to be purchased - UK big auto diff (3.538 ratio) - TRD LSD It does mean a slight change to the built engine spec but will have a good chat with Lee first about better options etc before it's built Nice spec Adam, another big twins setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Mechanical Sympathy! What's that? But yes fair point and also obviously depends when the power starts to drop off as Luxluc said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well now the car has left my hands, Lee the new owner wants to carry on this thread. I'm glad all the progress of the car will be kept together Lee it's over to you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thank you Adam and man what a cars she is!! Plan wise at the moment not much, just going to dye the carpet and mats change all the red lights and the red stitching back to stock so if anyone has mint door arm rests then I'm up for a swap and I will change them over :-) Then take the dash out and get it sprayed 202 black like the car and maybe a set of facelift head lights but plans will be to go 6speed and small single like me and lee started talking but will do a list later on as I will get the best parts over the corse of the year :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What are you doing with the old wheels??? Littler had some [Censored] [Censored] break in to his garage and help themselves to most/all the aftermarket parts. So those HRE wheels were with that (if I'm not mistaken). And the Advans are on the Car with Lee... (who will offer them to me first if he decides to sell them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
