I have a slight issue.

I am currently making peak power at the rev limter (8200 rpm).

The graph shows no sign of flattening off, but I obviously want to reach the peak power point or slightly past it.

Will I be OK to run to 9000 rpm with my setup...

So... does it have 9:1 compression or 8.5:1 compression?

Also, your head doesn't seem to be built enough for 9000rpm. I know your bottom end is kinda iffy, with those 4 counter weight cranks...

Just wondering, but why not get a bigger turbo with smaller A/R so you don't have to rev as high?

 

[Bull GTi]

9:1 compression

Why can't the valvetrain take it.

We know that the JWT prepped valvetrain is OK to 8600 rpm on C3's (Mike Kojima's testing), so surely with the less aggressive S4's, it should be OK.

 

[BigTurboSER]

In my opinion, with the upgraded valvetrain (rocker arm stoppers, springs, retainers, ect. ect.) that the head itself has the potential to rev higher than 8200, I cannot comment on the bottom end though because I have no experience with the 4 counterweight cranks.

I'd say slowly rev higher and higher and see where the power starts dropping off. No need to jump straight to 9000 rpms right off the bat.

 

[Bull GTi]

9000 rpm was just an idea.

I may find that it makes peak at 8600 therefore would take the limiter to 8800 or something like that.

thats a nice grocery list

Esp. because it is in a Micra! :eek2:

is that the little red one that i think someone posted a white back?

Hey guy, please change ur sig, you want a B14, not B15.

Can you post the dyno sheet?

I don't see why not. Your power curve is even more impressive than a cammed VE.

 

[srbybre]

if you have the regular sr20de/t crank it has a 86mm storke. if you do the numbers for it the max rpm you can safely run on it for prolonged periods of time is around 8700 rpm. after that point the piston speed become too high. you should not exceed 25m/s for piston speeds. if you get at sr16de crank it has a 62.7mm stroke(i think it close to that). when i did the math with the sr16ve crank you can rev 10200 rpm. formula 1 cars dont exceed 25m/s for piston speeds...neither should your engine. to safely run to 8700rpm you will need a tomei solid lifter conversion kit, titanium retainer, dual valve springs(ferrea preferrably...still need to shim it for more seat pressure), lifter valves. this is a lot of parts but if you dont do it you cant rev high consistently and you will float valves.

 

[denske]

i don't see a problem w/ revving it out some more, i say go for it and if you break something, well than you know what you need to upgrade. good luck, i say go for it. let that bitch scream.

Wow, 10,200rpm sounds good :biggthump

Can't you use a little bit longer rods w/ the SR16 crank to keep the piston speeds lower? Or is it the other way around?

Anyway, using the SR16 crank would decrease your displacement (unless you use longer rods to keep a longer stroke) and thus the turbo that he has now will be come a bit on the big side, no?

Sorry if what I typed is completely wrong, I am not in a really good mood, and my head hurts from work... just want to lay down and take a nap... can't think clearly... bah....

 

[srbybre]

if you use the sr16 crank and bore and sleeve it to 90mm it will be like 1830cc diplacement. thats is the most you can do with an sr motor. i dont think it is possible to go any bigger that a 90mm piston in our motor. it would be pretty nutty to rev it to 10200 but pointless on a turbo car. he wants torque and with the previously stated setup he wont have any power until he's more that half way down the track....and especially torque.

 

[iamhappy46]

Plenty of SR20VE's are rev'ving to 9000rpm though without major incident and the K20A's are into the 11,000rpm ranges with the same 86mm stroke. The main issue with F1 cars is the compression ratio and insane 19,000 RPM that causes the motors to last one race meeting(about 300 miles) even with black metal bearings.

Raising the rpm limit would be a good idea but I would consider dialing in the cams via the HKS cam gears to move the power band lower in the rev range. If your still running the stock 32 series gear ratios, it would prob be beneficial to keep the in gear torque output usable.
