MarcD Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 Hrmm so driving at 140kph with a 4spd isnt good? don't have a tacho, but it sure is revving hard Quote
Teddy Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 would be intresting to get a large measuring tacko, connect it upto a stock 4k, and rev it to see what it stops @, and how long it lasts lol ;) Quote
andrew Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 i have tried blowing a k motor up by revving,....... i just couldn't do it no matter how hard i tried. they are a strong engine Quote
Teddy Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 lol how did u go about it? need info ;) :insane: :D !!! Quote
Super Jamie Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 i'd say he held the accelerator open, possibly with a brick cafee with the blue 2 door ke30 has a similar engine to mine, except it got done up about 8 years ago. the other month he booted it our of a roundabout and his accelerator cable stuck open (much like happened to rollie) in town, he fought it with the brakes but it kept pulling, he clutched in, it freerevved, he turned the key off and pulled over. his monster tach flicked to about 10500. people poked their heads out of shops, people said it sounded like a motorbike accident wicked Quote
Super Jamie Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 stock valve springs usually stop revving at about 7500, even newish ones. as they get older they de-tension and won't rev as hard. fook's 4k stops revving at about 5500. my 3k used to valve bounce at 6200 Quote

MarcD Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 5500.. goa that only 300 rpm more than what we needed to do in mine goin up those hills in 2nd on the bbq cruze... ! I would have liked to be standing on the side of the road with a microphone listening to all the corollas go up the hill revving their tits off. Maybe a pair of ear muffs too. Quote
Teddy Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 lolol luckly i only looked @ the tacko a few time ! Quote

Medicine_Man Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 Another thing that came to my mind is to check your timing and points gap.. Quote
