Thread: I blew IT! :) 56k don't do it!

Got a new head coming soon, compliments to Andreas Miko. Some sr16ve cams. Valve springs and retainers, oil pump, crank pulley, and oil squirters.

Got my head gasket from Greg V. You guys are the BEST! Thank you very much. The pistons are going back to JE so they can fix the piston cooler interference issue, and I am getting new pistons.

Everything is done. Now I just have to get the JWT rev limiter removed and put the car back together. Then I am going to dyno 10psi rev to maybe 8500 or 9k? Hopefully that is safe.

I would like to be able to hit 400whp on 15psi with the slightly newer setup. And I am not going to be pushing it past 20psi on 100 octane unless I have a water/meth setup on there.

are you going to run stock 16ve springs an retainers? if so i wouldnt go past 8k.. you got so much $ an time into this you might as well spring for some better springs (pun intended)
otherwise we may be reading another one of these threads hehe

better safe then sorry bro an good to hear your gettin takin care of

Nope, bought supertech 100lb springs with retainers. I'm not going to mess around on that.

I had my stock limiter removed and use the MSD 6AL box with the built in limiter. Works great with no problems. I use to mess up my stock pistons and never thought my rev limiter was the cause but now i think about it, it makes sense. Fuel actually cools the charge and if there's spark, boost, and a little bit of fuel that = alot of heat. Also the MSD limiter is a soft touch and it is very smooth. The stock limiter was way more harsh. I believe you can get just the limiter without the ignition box.

Wow, I wonder who else has had issues with nailing the rev limiter on high hp SRs.

The JWT ECU just like the Stock ECU has a very harsh fuel cut. A lot of the guys that run MSD units love the soft rev limiter for that reason.

I for one run a standalone that has a soft cut and hard cut rev limiter.
