Rb26 Stock Redline

[paul f]

what is the stock rev limiter on an rb26dett out of an r32 (crank collar has ben fixed)

thank!

[TTT]

I think it's 7700 redline, and 8000rpm rev limited.

or it could be 7500 redline..

let's say 7500rpm to be safe.

[Beer Baron]

it's 7500rpm.

there is a good reason why R33's and 34's have a higher redline than 32's =]

Care to share what you think that reason is?

Its yellow zone from 7500 till 8000 where the redline starts btw

why would like to know this good reason why r33/r34 have a higher redline than r32

[OFENSV]

he would be talking about the oil pump drive issue, but you have fitted a collar though

ok thanks! would it be safe at all to take a sock rb26 to 9k? dont get mad just asking? im using for drifting so whats a great rev to set at? whts the stock computer set at? thank

You will probably find that there’s nothing to gain from revving a 26 that high unless you have really big turbo’s which I assume you wouldn’t as you would be after response for drifting. The rod bolts would probably be the first thing to let go revving a stock motor that high. Keep it under 8K for safety sake

7.5 redline 9 for limiter love on mine and it handles it beautifully

[T04GTR]

its not the redline. its the rev limiter wich kills it. it will have issues if your over 8k for an extended time. aslo keeping oil in it is important. standard yuo WILL get oil surge by just accelerating flat out in 1st.

[T04GTR]

oh icic. if your drifting it. id strongly sugest not going past 7500. and using a ati harmonic balancer would be a good investment.

[Duncan]

yeah why not jsut keep it to 7500 for drifting no reason to use the extra 500 revs if all you will be doing is bouncing off it half the day

[paul f]

thanks for the info. im gonna run a gt30r turbo like the single setup. im running a twin pulse manifold and a .63 rear housing should help with the response. only looking for 400hp! im gonna set my rev limiter to 7500 should be nice!
