What does it take to rev the evo over 8500 rpm?
I am looking at keeping the stock 2.0L and doing a full race turbo kit with the 3076 turbo and I would like to be able to rev it to say 8500 on a road course without having any problems. I know I will need to build up the motor some but what is needed to do this?

with good springs you can bring it up to 8500 max on a stock block anything past that good luck with your rebuild. Build a good block get a stage 3 ported head with a solid tune with bigger then stock turbo and you can rev it to 9200k all day.

Some people take their motor to 8000 as it is while stock so 500 extra wont require all that you just stated especially since the 2.0l motor has a great rodstroke ratio
Ya 8500 will be fine, I just want the RPM for when I road race and I will only run it that hard if I am in a turn or have the car loaded up and cant really shift. I will not run it this high everyday and if I have to rebuild it in 50k who cares I will have something else I can drive.

A piston speed of 25 m/s is recognized as being about the limit for a properly prepared street driven engine that is expected to deliver reasonable longevity. The 2.0L hits 25 m/s around 8500 rpm. A 2.3L stroker reaches the same piston speed around 7500 rpm. One can rev the engine higher if the power band warrants it (e.g. big turbo), but he should expect a shorter interval between rebuilds. Fortunately, most setups that give decent street performance reach optimum shift points at or before those figures.



> does the evo continue to make power past redline say up to 8k or does it just drop?
