how much rpm? [ERRR] mine revs off the counter!

by **freak power** on Fri Jan 25, 2002 12:23 pm

Had mine up to 9000 rpm today, it seems o.k with it, It has ARP'S and i wouldn"t like to do it all the time.

the stress on the components at high RPM (tensile) is different to the stress at high power (compressive).

9k is a fair amount for standard stuff - what size - 1800 will be happy as long as its WELL balanced mate

ARP bolts are a must

Excursion - is it true that the 1800 Zetec is much stronger than the 2000 Zetec???

apparantly so in 'standard' form mate - you can feel it in how they drive - the 1800 has more metal between the bores, it feels a bit sweeter at high rpm

does that not depend on whether its series 2 or 3 2.0????? If I was to get eislelnger bottom end componants.. would it bugger up the balance? :???:

yeah of course in sunnys case the only thing standard is the metal around the pistons and a bit of remaining aluminium in the head :lol:
