In the head of my rb26 I have only hks cams 272 9.3 !

What is the max safe rpm that I can run it?

My block has everything to run very high rpm I think (nismo oil pump, oil return, ati race pulley etc).

I am thinking to run a T51 SPL BB or T88H-38GK that both is for 1000+ HP so I need some rpms to run it in good rpm!!

Suck it and see - keep reving it until the power drops off or it starts to vavle float either way if every thing is built correctly then you wont hurt anything.

I don't want to test it :rofl:

I would like to tell me if it is safe the head for example 9000rpm. I think that 9000rpm limit for theese turbos is good to give me a satisfactory power range, right?

I read that theese turbos starts at 5000rpm! So 5-9 will be the power range!

How long is a piece of string?

Some heads are in better condition than others, so some can take more RPM for longer than others...

Its really a question that cannot be 'answered' accurately when you want to push something. Every setup will fail at a different point to the next when your talking 10-15yr old heads

Really no point revving past 8ish? Would a T88 still make power after 8k? You'll get a better understanding once you have the turbo installed and find out when your peak power / revs are.

But to answer your question on 'safe' I wouldn't take it above 9000rpm often.

Hi mate, i've got a standard engine in my car with a race head gasket and a big turbo on my Gts-t and all the supporting mods for making bigish power but as it is standard it probably wont do much after 8000rpm without something going wrong. My turbo starts boosting at 4500 and im on the limiter at 7500 so its pretty laggy shall we say lol. If you want to run higher rpm your're going to have to fit forged internals and i lightened, balanced crank as well as solid lifters and probably some porting and polishing too. Thats what i had on my old engine and it used to rev to

10,000rpm all day long, it was much easier to make the big power with the higher rpm.

Regards, Thwish

Did you even read the OP's post? How does your standard internal Rb25 have anything to do with Greeces13s built 26?

A decent set of valve springs and retainers are a wise investment on any big power engine regardless of revs.

"If you want to run higher rpm your're going to have to fit forged internals and i lightened, balanced crank as well as solid lifters and probably some porting and polishing too"

The RB26 has solid lifters as standard, agree with zebra on this one - you havent helped much.

To the OP - I would go to your engine builder/tuner to work this out. As its already been said there is no magic number based on a few lines about your car as to it potential.....

I could tell you it will rev to 9,456 rpm but what difference would that make if I havent seen it?.... Get my point?

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Motor done back together, surprised is a understatement with this rb30. just think 10m under flood waters for a couple weeks, 20lt water inside the engine for 3years. cleaning the cooling system installing new plugs leads and overflow bottle and then I’m closing the bonnet moving onto the restoration of the body.    already finished few external pieces for putting the puzzle back together. this has been very enjoyable, frustrating at times definitely. Moving forward with my silo sub!!! thank you to everyone that has helped me so far, ✌️ att.jiLuuIrdYfPMplUAOjVfrq4OOOc082zjTnt1kJrhKVQ.mp4

      Oooh, right. That makes so much more sense. For some reason I was picturing them selling a variety of pipe ends with nipples on them... Solid reasoning.

      The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"

      Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
