How to hit ~10k rpm

moved to the correct forum.

I’m going to take a skyline engine and put it in an integra and make it RWD ,you’ll all feel stupid when I do it!!

I won’t… 'cause I’ll have a K series in mine and we all know K series is the bestest.

no where did I say was wanted to hit 10k with my b18a though. you guys just assumed it. I just said I wanted to hit 10k rpm. Never said with what. I also never said I wanted to stay with stock internals.

You guys don’t seem capable of helping so just close the thread.

My question is why? I’m more than capable of helping, we just rebuilt the engine so that it could handle 10K and we rev it to 9… and that’s on a full on track car. Why go to 10K if you don’t need to to be competitive?

K-series is your ticket to magazines and internet fame!

Gee a bunch of people telling you not to and that you wont make any power sure doesnt sound like help to me. Remember fix us all and do it fast do it furious.

digital: i said 9k was fine. 10k was just a roughly set high endpoint. doesn’t have to be 10k.

And a bunch of people on the internet asking me my age and saying that a b18a won’t work isn’t what i wanted. I want what will work. So if you are going to say that a b18A won’t work, also say what you think would work. And don’t say vtec, because you can make any ls a vtec with a conversion.

Then make your LS a VTEC with a conversion.

Pitch, catch. Simple.

the rb25 & rb26 are awd :dozing:
my b16b will hit 10k (hondata) but why would i???

The RB25DET is rear wheel drive. I don’t know if there is an AWD version of it.

see below.

GT-S if i’m not mistaken.

really, oh yea wasnt the RB20DET RWD?

RB25DET, Skyline GTS-t

Google it.

so only the GT-r’s RB25 was AWD?

The RB25DET came AWD in the Nissan Stagea as well as a Nissan Laurel, but only RWD in the Skyline GT-S. The GT-R only came with an RB26DETT AWD configuration.

As a self correction, I believe the GTS-t R32 came with an RB20 and the GTS25T R33 came with an RB25.

yes to the best of my nissan knowledge thats correct

It’s very possible to get to 9K RPM in a B18A/B18B, maybe even a little higher. You will need forged rods, forged pistons, ARP bolts, micropolished crankshaft (knife edging helps too), a good set of bearings, and an experienced engine builder.

A guy I knew named Steve from Tech43 Racing used to build LS/VTECs that could easily take 9,000-9,200 RPM, but they don’t last as long as a shorter stroke engine. He was using these engines for street/drag racing, so they didn’t have to be the most relieable.

ive seen spoon test videos, they sell spoon blocks for like 900 that can rev up to 11k…check it out on youtube:rockon:

You can rev the car to 10,000 rpms… a lot of kids do that when they get their “mugen or spoon chip” off eBay. And to be honest… a stock b16 and b18C/1/R will take that kind of twisting a few times and still stay together for a few weeks.
I have a list of mods on here of what it would take to rev a car to 9500 rpms and for about 1 year, probably longer… with proper maintenances.
I feel you on how your questions gets answered… you’ll be hard press to get an answer to a question on here. I found it’s best to post wrong (and be flamed) info and have it be corrected by someone who knows a few things about building Honda motors rather than asking a question and expecting it to be answered in an adult manner.
Trick is, to know who knows their shit. Face to face I think you would have been treated differently.
I’m assuming you know that this build will be expensive if you’re serious about it.
If I was going to do it all over again…I’ll start with a B16-R. It revs to 9k from the factory. From there… Valve train and cams then ITBs… and so on… I’m sure will get some more input in time… just be patient… and don’t take these comments to heart.
