20vt high rpm engine? - 27/07/2014 17:23
Hi,
I'm rebuilding an engine for my 4x4 coop and have some questions about revving the engine
When we were mapping the car (450bhp FWD) we set the limiter to 7900, the camshaft was too "weak" for that rpm so we lowered to 7500.
As I have BW S200SX, this turbo have full boost around 5000rpm so I have power in range of 2500rpm (toooooo short)
Now I'm rebuilding an engine with 2.4 head. Dry sump fitted (so no problem with pressure on high rpms). Accralite 83mm pistons and Cunningham rods stays in from old setup.
What I want is cc8500rpm, maybe some more . Solid lifers conversion is no problem to do. Suppose Stilo 2.4 valve springs are too weak for 8500?
Engine will be fully balanced (without balance shaft)
What about other parts? Crank, block? How It's dealing with higher rpms?
What is the highest rpm that someone reach with 20v engine?
Thanks and cheers!
