I will introduce you to the mad scientist and he will let you know what parts you will need to overnight from Japan. It might even be ready in time for race wars.

Make sure to hit the 100 shot at the right time or you'll fry the piston rings!

my question is why you want to rev your engine to 10,000 rpm? Are you building a drag car? that would be the only reason in my opinion...

I was revving my motor to 9200 rpm without any special parts... Just a good balanced assembly and a proper tune... The same engine right now has more than 20,000 miles untouched with the new owner ( the rev limiter is now down to 8000 rpm since he is running the stock turbo)...

Even better, put a couple of SR20s in there... they will pull a premium a week before race wars.

Never said that "no" 2.3L would last at 9k nor what gear the pull would be in or what engine I would be referring to. Why even consider revving to 9k in a 2.3l when the powerband is long gone?

whats the point of wanting to rev to 10k? do you have a lot of honda friends that claim they can rev to 9k so you wanna e dick prove them that your evo can do 10 k??? haha, am i close? To be honest most of us have put at least 10-15k into our cars in mods, for you to safely reliably rev to 9k and it last will cost at least that much into your car. For you to rev to 10k safely, your in a whole new ballpark of cost, where it could realistically go 20-30k with all the supporting mods you need to make it last. Then your daily driveability will kinda go into the wind. But hey youll have a fully built engine probably a dog box tranny which whines like your nagging wife haha. A car that wont hit boost till about 5-6500 rpms so youll have a 3k narrow powerband. Overall youll just take some of the fun out of the car, and turn it into a torqueless honda haha. Do us a favor, be content with 9k as a rev limit costs enough money to make your car reliably do that.
Good luck

OP this is my suggestion as well

Just didnt get why it was said...

Its one thing to say youve never seen one go to 9k but its another to say it would be the only and last time??

Anyways just confused why it was said, thats all
I agree if their is no powerband forsay at or past 9k then their is no real point to push the engine harder and closer to a fatigue/breaking point... But if their is power to 9k or above then why not use that power if safe to do so?

what size turbo do you have??? I have a 2.3 kit with pte6262 head work kelfirds 272 and get quick to 7k rpm and takes a little time from 7k to get 8k rpm, i would like to have all the power as quick of your car does! I will be happy with 8500rpm
