Hi there!

I have GTX35 + CP Pistons + Bridgeway H-Beam rods + Nitto oil pump + HKS 264 8.7mm + Cometic 1.3mm head gasket + ARP head + rods stud + Harmonic balancer Ross Tuffbond. Head is stock just that cams.

What is the highest safe revlimit on that setup for street car?

Really it's going to come down to whether your setup is still making power up that high. If boost is falling off and the turbo is nosing over then there is no point revving it out.

Being a gtx35 I doubt there will be much of a reason to go too far past 8.

High revs, aftermarket cams and decent amount of boost with stock valve springs won't be revving very high.

You'll most likely end up with valve float and a load of misfires instead.

Not saying they are gospel by any means, but the motiveDVD GT-R just went through this exact query.  They decided to keep to the stock rev limit to preserve of the stock head, stock girdle plate and stock crank.

I was going to say more than 9000, but that's awfully specific.  Do you have data to back this up?

Yeah, IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAANNDDD!!!11!!!!ONE!

 

One day I'll have enough money to build an RB26 to spin past 9,000 rpm, just so I can ask a passenger "what does the tachometer say about the engine speed?"

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
