JamieP Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Cheers, yes think you're not far off, but am not planning on bending rods. I think the rods can take serious power, head bolts will be the problem, head lifts, coolant locks the engine and rods bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 ^^Difficult to say to be honest, when leaving the motor completely stock rev limit to 7,6K i have no idea really somewhere upward of 600 i'd guess, but when pulled and strengthened then the set up will be capable of a lot more then 600. 7.6k on a stock engine is too much Mario. I wouldn't go above 7.2k. A friend of mine in a single Supra broke his stock engine with a rev limit of 7.7k on a GT42 turbo (76mm). One rod failed an went though the block.

Mario Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Ok yes, unknown in that area Jamie, agreed with Lee to play it safe and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) 7.6k on a stock engine is too much Mario. I wouldn't go above 7.2k. A friend of mine in a second single Supra broke his stock engine with a rev limit of 7.7k on a GT42 turbo (76mm). One rod failed an went though the block. Yes Luc I meant 7,2Krpm, thats what Lee said to me the other day 7,2Krpm will be the limit.

I ran that setup too but Ryan set my rev limit to 7300 rpm, with a 76mm turbo. He wouldn't go any higher because of the stock valve springs.

Mario Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Have met some deep holes during DB13 which in the end knackered one of my front fenders, had the car sent off for some front end work including re allignment of all bodypanels including doors, bonnet, front fenders etc. In the end car came out as new. Car is now ready for it's trip to SRD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
