I met a guy who have a stock FD who had been way past the rev marking wich is 9000 rpm. he estimated it to 10500 rpm!!!

Is that possible on a stock FD?

 

u dont want to rev a turbo motor that high, its not safe up there. there are NA rotaries that run 15k rpm

 

yes i know and i sure as hell arent gonna try thats why im asking if it is possible with an FD

 

In first gear I rev to 9000 then shift. After that...it's always at redline. When you go aftermarket turbo, then you can redline higher...I've seen stock tranny's go to 11000 rpms...

 

what happens with the boost when u rev to 9000?

 

im wondering cause i can't see the point in going over 7000 rpm since the power and torque curves isnt over 7000.

 

Why would you? There is no point in revving over 8k rpm on a stock engine. Even most modified engines will have no benefits at that high of rpm. Can you say apex seal chatter, I knew you could.

 

there is this one member who got his to rev to about 11k......but i can remeber his ID......

 

Yeah, power drops off after 7000 rpm's...but who gives a ****! Can we say...I'll rebuild it...besides, if I wanted t play it safe...I would have bought a Supra

 

IGY revs his to 11000 rpms thru ALL gears...but he doesn't have the stupid stock twins either

 

revving the car out will actually make you go faster depending on the situation and car

 

Unless you have a good clutch and flywheel, better get a scattershield!

 

If we are talking about stock motors and stock twins, then there is NO point in revving past 7600 rpms. If you have a single turbo but with stock engine, then 8000 rpms would be more tolerable. Depending on the turbine i.e. T-04E or TD-06/20G, you'll make power to 8000. If your exhaust housing is 1.00 a/r or bigger...then yes, you will want to rev higher than redline, especially with a modified engine. If you had an exhaust port done on your car to make more top end power, then your overlap will be more pronounced and you will be wasting your time unless you rev PAST redline since the turbine(assuming that it's a good size and has a good size exhaust housing) will still make more power.

I have seen STOCK motors with TD-06/20G's redline to 9000 in 1st gear and then shifting at 8000 every gear after... AND survive for over two years...then the owner switched to a T-04S and STOCK motor and redlined the same and the motor lasted 6 months....

...why did it blow up...he forgot to turn on his Rebic III. His engine would have survived if not for this "error"

 

Thanks to Judge ito's warning, I won't EVER buy clutchmasters clutches...

...But I think the OS Giken has proven itself as a good clutch and flywheel

 

why not shift when your power curve drops off, we all know its at about 7-7500, after that its just pointless unless your trying to get rubber

 

just cause it drops off doesnt mean you want benefit from it. IE: you rev the motor to 7K where the rpms drop off @ lets say 250 HP. well lets now say at 8K you are making 225 HP. now if you were to upshift at the 7K mark to the next gear and then drop to 4500 in the next gear there may be about high 190's hp. in that same situation if you were to have revved it to 8K and made the 225 then upshifted you would be making lower 200's for the next. dont konw if it makes sense, but if you understand that then i congratulate you. i confused myslef right now.

True, but a stock car peaks at 6500 and start dropping off pretty sharply after 7k. So I think shifting at 7500 rpm will accomplish what you are describing. Of course, in first gear, it's damn near impossible to shift that early as 8k comes up so damn fast.

 

TwinTurboTeddy had a thread named "owned" where he hit almost 11,000 RPM with pictures included. Do a search for "owned".

 

Heres the link to the thread https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ighlight=owned

 

TobiasRX,

A stock FD won't rev that high because the fuel cut would kick in before 10k RPMs. Only way to defeat that is to drive too fast and shfit down into 2nd at around 90 mph or faster.

How high can the REW rev b4 it starts to mess things up? Meaning tolerances of the materials, not the fuel cut or any of that crap.
