8000+ RPM Only Club

[HondaFan81]

Purpose: I want all members that have motors that rev 8000 RPM and above to chime in here, it doesn't matter if your forced induction, nitrous or all-motor.

Answer the following:

1) Which motor do you have?

2) What RPM do you rev to regularly?

3) What is your entire oil system setup?

4) What precautions not mentioned have you taken to prevent spun bearings?

5) Any other relative information can be listed here.


NOTE: Anything not relevant, will be deleted.

[v4lu3s]

1) various year h22's, stock with bolt ons.

2)several times had set the rev limit to allow me to rev to 8200, this was done at the track to see if it helped. It never helped times ar traps.

3)Stock

4)none and they seem to have worked since 2 engines that have done this are still in great shape years later.

5)...

I also currently have an engine that is not yet run that i expect to go between 8500-9k on, forged rods, forged pistons, balanced bottom end, portflow springs, crower 3 cams and other work to enhance reliability at high rpm. Still stock oiling though, I do not expect to need anything fancy for this one.
