ok still exploring different engine posibilities, if i go with the fun frankenstine part of me, what engines do you know of that like to rev very very high for a street engine. i plan on doing more than one 914 in my life so i thought this one i would have fun with. my list as of now. please feel free to add.

honda s2000 2.0 (F20)- 9000rpm stock redline (rotates right direction)
acura rsx type s 2.0 (K20A) 7800rpm with room to grow (also rotates right direction)
mazda rotary (13b) 10000rpm in full race trim. ( heard bad things about this motor and heat thoug
toyota mr2/corolla gts 1.6 (4age) 7500rpm stock
nissan silva 2.0 turbo (sr20det) late gen 8000rpm
acura nsx motor v6 8000rpm

my knowlege on motors isnt much but pertains mostly to 4 cly engines need help with other 4, 6, 8 cyl engines. thanks if it can rev let me know.

Nothing revs quite like a rotary.
But torque is more fun IMHO.

2 strokers.

Bikes rev at INSANE rates.

high rev cost high$

theres a thought. get a liter bike engine they make 120-160 hp. and rev around 12k 14k rpm

Lets not go overboard here.


They MAKE three cylinder engines that rev higher than that.

There ya go. Put a bike motor in your 914! Yeah baby, put a built R1 motor in... 160hp!!!! Woohoo! Rev heaven!!

But cars weigh more than bikes (even a light 914)... so again I would rate torque and engine strength/reliability over pure RPMs.

name them.

yes torque can be quite fun. nothing like being thrown back in the seat. ;but i test drove a s2000 the other day Not an incredably fast car but when vtech kicks in and just the sound of that engine reving is something to hear. i can imagine what the guys who have alot of money that get their 911 engine reving to 8300 and beyond.

Yamaha had one that got banned.

I don't know model numbers. Who gives a crap about 2 strokers anyway?

Dude, I thought YOU were the one who brought up the 2-stroke subject?

ahhh so you were refering to non-production race engines. let me pick one of those outa my back pocket

They REV fast! Who cares! It was an answer to a question. I definately don't know anything about two strokers. Wait. I made one for shop class. Thats it. I don't even know how fast IT reved. But one of my buddies mentioned the Yamaha thing the other night. He's NHRA. His stuff revs fast, I guess,

anyone know what a tricked out subie motor could pull rpm wise or that v6 yammaha made for ford for the taurus svo or some car like that.

Non-race.
They got banned from street use in USA.

I'll get the damn model to you tomorrow. Jesus.

your all over the place man. h20 cooled 914/6, turbo aircooler.... etc....

rev's are for racers and ricers.......

why do you need to spool to 9k on a street motor?
gimme a stroked out six with mucho torque and it would be way more streetable....

put down the ricer mag and lets get into practical land


sorry to be harsh - just how i see ya
AA

one of my buddies has this little 415ci sbc that is only puttin out about 700hp. with 13/1 comp. tunnel ram with 1400cfm worth of carbs on it. and it only revs to 8k and with a 8"stall converter it rev kinda quick, like lighting quick.
