how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

just wandering if ne of u guys have found the optimun speed for these motors on stock internals

Re:how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

8500 here hit the rev limit every day :-D

Re:how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

Depending on the head, I usually rev them out to 8400

vtec oil pump is a must too ;)

uhmm thats interesting,i just proved my suspicions. my friend has done a couple of them and he kkeps spinning rod bearings..so i would assume that he is just not torqing them accordinly right?

and ABAZ?? what does the head has to do with it??? the flow characteristics??

Re:how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

valve springs, cams, flow...



Does your friend use a vtec oil pump??

Re:how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

Meaning valve springs, if you have a ----- valve train something like in a obd0 JDM B16a head (auto) You can get valve float very easily over 8000rpms. The GSR springs and ITR springs do ok 8000-8500.

Keep spinning rod bearings eh, maybe Turbo90Accord4DR built your bottom end ;)

Measuring rod bearing clearences is very important.

Lol.. Hey, I didint run the motor out of oil!!

Re:how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

yea u guys are right he wasnt using the vtec oil pump so that would explain it right

Re:how high are u guys reving ur lsvtec's with stock internals??
 

That would explain it =)
