Stock Rb25 - How Much Rpm ?

[Rolls]

So what does this prove exactly apart from that it can be done? Given the last 2 pages basically have nothing to do with the question.

It was a fairly entertaining video at least.

End of the day you push the stock bottom end power/RPM wise - it is a matter of time before it fails. Just because yours is fine at the moment is no testament to anything in the reliability stakes yet.

Do that consistently, for 3+ years and 40,000kms, with more than 4-5 motors - then call it reliable all you want.

Did you read my first post in this thread? Or any of the thread for that matter? The fact that you say the last 2 pages have nothing to do with the thread would tell us you didn't.

That is all it proves and I never said otherwise. Nor did I say it was reliable. The thread topic is called "Stock RB25 - How Much Rpm?" I posted a video of a stock rb25 revving. If that has nothing to do with the thread then I don't know what does. Clearly an rb25det can rev to 8200 without breaking.

If it wasn't clear before then I'll make it crystal now. I made this video for the purpose of this thread and for the general enjoyment of sau. We all like watching car stuff on youtube or tv.

FWIW my rev limit is 7600 rpm. It is set there so it doesn't hit the limiter. Most of the time when giving it a hard time I shift at 7k and sometimes it will be closer to 7600. The rest of the time its at 3k or so.

In my opinion reliable means "never breaks". Fair enough stuff wears out but it shouldn't break. Three or five years is not a long time. Nor is 40, 000k's. How pissed would you be if you had to spend upward of ten grand every 3 to 5 years on an engine rebuild and turbo replacement?

You are right with the comment about pushing a motor. They wear out faster. If they break, its either from excessive power levels or poor tune/maintenance or outright thrashing (heat and revs).

So back on topic how many rpm have you spun your stocker to Nismoid?
