Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior 15000 rpm?

Ok in gran turismo 3 the spoon civic's engine goes to about 15k rpm or so. Is that just game misinformation or do spoon engines really stand up to that. If so dooes anyone make a 2zz that will take somthing like that. Hell I would settle for 10k.

buy a hayabusa

No silly I want to live, not die in a 180 mph fireball. I do not have the willpower to have a crotch rocket.

indy cars rev up that high... but they also need to rebuild their engines every week...

get the point i'm tryin to make.

nope, that would be pretty cool only if you wanted to live to see tomorrow, lol

valve springs and retainers with help you get a higher redline...but not that high

hayabusa's only rev to 12k

a gsxr600, yzf r6, zx6r and rr, and cbr 600rr all rev past 15k.

my gsxr 750 only revs to 13,200

my bro has got a 01 gsxr and it does rev to 15 i just checked downstairs lol. gts' are 7,800 and that i think is pretty damn good

the bigger the bore, the higher teh redline

If you get a good valve, spring and retainer set, such as the trial or brash boy kits, or even the kit from monkeywrench racing, with all other internals stock, you can redline at 10K safely, the lift range from 6K to 9k can also be sustained longer, well beyond what the factory valvetrain can handle.

also remember this, sport bike engines have way less displacement, and much lighter internals, they can easily rev much harder than a car engine; ther's less stress on the valvetrain, and it's designed a lot differently.

Rotary engines can also rev high (some get wankel rotaries to rev as high as 12K!!!) this is because there are less internals to break, and they operate on a totally different principle than a piston-based engine.

But believe this, the 2zz was made to be revved hard, with a valve upgrade, you can realize it's true potential.

BTW, one more thing, some race-built spoon motors can achieve 15K, but not sustained, the sustained rev limit is about 10-12K. anything beyond that is for limited use (like hitting lift hard in a stock celica).

More like the shorter the stroke, the higher the redline

werd

a 600, yes

beat me to it lol smaller the displacement look at v8s there lucky to get over likr 6 k my jetta vr6 redlined at 6.3 and it was screamin then

if you wanna rev high get a rotary.. stock the rx-8's can rev 9500 rpms.
