Fully rebuilt/balanced bottom end

Head with tomei 260 cams

heavy duty valve springs/retainers

k-line valve guides

port and polish

bolted down with head studs

With the standard solid lifters, would it be safe to set rev limit to 9000rpm? maybe even 9500? Only drag/street? what to raise rpm to take full advantage of a to4z :)

Adriano... He says it's fully rebuilt and balanced.

I rev mine with a standard bottom end, but with Tomei Poncams to 7800.

it's still making good power there and only just starting to taper off there.

keep reving it until it starts to nose over and see how you go.

Surely you would give it to your tuner and let him play with the max RPM while he's tuning it?  If you're chasing max RPM then max HP should be the limiting factor.  Let your tuner decide when upping the RPM no longer has any benefit.

Shim over bucket. Don't even think** that it is "as good as" an RB26 from that point of view. Rev it too fast and you stand a very good chance of spitting shims and saying goodbye to some $$.

I would suggest not much more than 8500 rpm unless sworn to and guaranteed by a person who has experience setting up Neo heads with similar cams and springs and knows what they will and won't do.

No. Do not "let the tuner play with it". Tuners and engine builders and not always the same thing. Some tuners know f**k all about the metal bits. Ask the guy who knows about the metal bits.

 

** That's an instruction, not my opinion.

You will find that spinning past 8k starts to get pointless as you can't get into gears and spit power steering belt - unless you've got an auto or a sequential.

But yeah, I've spun mine to 9k rpm just to hear what it sounds like, and each time it kisses the limiter at 9.2k it shoots off a powersteering belt

Yet to go on the dyno, but with timing figures at 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 13 it's more than safe.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
