Sun, 09 November 2003 09:56 From what I've learnt on my own engines, the sort of combination you've got should be safe to at least 8500rpm - I give my still-factory-assembled turbo 4agze regular 8200 excursions, and it hasn't shown any signs of trouble. That said, I did break one engine from excessive revs - this was due to disabling the rev limiter and a stuck throttle... It didn't break right away, rather it stretched the rod bolts and broke down over 600km from home. When I pulled the engine down, I noticed every rod bolt wasn't even finger tight, that's why a rod broke. However, my (highly educated!) lucky guess is that was the result of 12,000+rpm, so make sure you assemble the engine with ARP or similiar bolts and you shouldn't have any issues.
