My 2L did 5,200 RPM prior to going for a Swim, then once I got it fired up after being Hydrauliced it could then do 5,300 RPM on bent Con Rods and burning Oil. ;)

After the rebuild, I set it up to do 5,300 RPM and it'll creep upto a maximum of 5,400 RPM :)

In the not too distant future, I'll adjust the high speed throttle stop so it can achieve 6,000 RPM :idea: In hindsight I should of gone a V8. - Live and learn. :o


What can your Y, R or L Series do? :popcorn:
 
My 22r will hold 7K no prob has been as high as 8K on a backyard rebuild. they are made to run don't let the tach scare ya

2L?, As in Diesel? :confused::confused::confused::confused:





I've pushed my 22RE past 4500, but that makes me nervous...... :D


3.5" of stroke would me to. (pulls good though)





But..... but.... the numbers turn red after 5k...... :D


May still spin, may still live, but thats when the toque curve goes down (waste of time)



i dont take her past 5.

my buddy had a stage three turbo on a 22RE with beefed up top and bottom ends
he had er crankin till 9K

then after a few months she blew




Well theres youre problem!! :hillbilly:
 
My original 22re used to pull 6,500 - 7,000 easy. One time I had it up to 8,000 or so while spinning on some wet, icy snow. I think the inertia of everything spinning helped it wrap out.

I've had two crappy remans since then. Neither engine would get over abouty 5,000 RPM. I guess that says something about OEM!:doh:
 
Correct. My ultimate aim is 7,000 RPM :grinpimp: I'll need a new Tacho after 6,000 RPM

my top fuel 2L would hit 5000rpm but would fun out of breath at about 4000. I think you will need a serious cam regrind to make 5000 6000 or 7000 any useful. But then you won't have any bottom end power.
That or a huge turbo...

Why?


Do you want that much tach out of a Diesel :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:




I feel as though I'm asking:

1: A dumb question.



2: A question aimed at a :hillbilly:........It sounds imature but mabie you got a legitimete reason, so,



DO TELL

In Australia, the second generation Hilux got the 4Y 2.2 Litre Petrol, which has a smaller dispacement than the 2L Diesel, yet produces more Torque than the Diesel. :lol: http://japparts.com.au/products/Aftermarket-engine.htm Less than half the cost the Diesel Engine rebuild cost me.
Also, being in Australia there's a severe lack of information in doing a V8 swap. - So I had to make do with what I've got.
Atleast I've got half a V8 and about half the displacement of a 302 Ford or 305 Chev. - If I can do twice the Revs of a stock one of those, I'll be somewhat pleased. :hillbilly:

Lol 7000 is nowhere near twice the RPM's of a 302 or a 305. My cousin takes his mustang with a built 302 to 6000rpms I believe and I used to take my 88 Camaro with a stock 305 TBI to 5500 and thats with crappy FI.

Personally I dont see the point in winding out your motor so much. I took my 3.0 v6 truck up to 5500 rpms when I was beating on it cause that was the redline. In hind site I wish I had never let that thing see an RPM of 4500 just because.

No matter how built the motor you will eventually blow it beating on it like that daily. Gotta remember people that build motors to goto 8, 9, 10k RPM's are doing it to whip down the quarter mile for 10seconds not hold on it in the mud for prolonged amounts of time. Your better off spinning lower RPM's with high torque numbers.
 
My balanced 22re has been to 5000, but not very often. I think it silly to go higher. Just because I can doesn't mean I should.

(Shaking my head)



Dude, two wrong's dont make a right!!!


TWICE the RPM doesent mean sh...


NO ENGINE(you can build) PEAKS AT 10k!!!!



IF!!! IF, the TORQUE CURVE "peaks" at 3,500 RPM then it's (POWER)going DOWN after that, it's LOOSING power!?!




YOU are waisting time and $$$ with that absurd notion.


TWICE the RPM on a 3,500rpm torque curve peak motor means at (@) 7,000 its got as much power as it does at IDLE*, you are spinning youre wheel's. :rolleyes:


X2 rpm does NOT mean X2 power!!






*Not exact but pretty Dang close figures!!
