whats stops you reving high?

my car stops pulling fairly high, like 5800 which isn't too bad, but how can i make it rev higher? and give it more power? is it past 7k the tappets are w*** or something? or am i just doing the ussual and talking out of my arse?

 

mine stops at 6300 when it hits the limiter i have fitted but then again it's not much point in reving my 8v beyond this.

 

Talking out of your arse!

And you are 8 valves short of decent revs.

 

and 2 cylinders....

 

Aye, because VRs are notorious for loving of high revs.
Idiot.

 

gasflow and cam timing. simple as that!

 

+ stroke of the engine.

 

Jettas are you running a hydrulic tappet head or an old shim job?

 

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA

 

AmD'd R32 rev limit is 7200 Pretty high for a 6 cylinder

 

We weren't talking about the R32 Gaz, and not a chipped one either.....

 

This one loved revving high but the rev counter only used to go over the top when gearing down for Redgate

 

forgive me if I'm wrong but I always figured that, if you assume two
engines have the same CC, then the wider bore/short stoke one
revved harder compared to the longer stroke narrower bore motor
was to do with the fact that the wider the bore the bigger the valves.
(rod ratios aside)

 

I remember that! - I think you were trying to kill it that day

b@stard thing just wouldnt die, the engine now runs a charger with its new owner. it must set some sort of record for abuse

 

Let me drive it - i'll sort it out.

 

What's the use? It's a man's engine that is

 

its not for girls
