That a really high number for a F7R. Can you tell me your BE spec?Originally Posted by Clio-Girl
the naples has a forged high compression bottom end, dont worry im not a silly bugger revving to that on standard internals thats just madness!Originally Posted by dkrevs
I'm glad to hear it's forged. On standard internals it wouldn't last long TBH. Mechanical redline of this engine is somewhere around 6500RPM, IIRC.
Id have no qualms exercising a stock F7R to 7500rpm imo. Not that it would make power there.
My old rally engine made about 180bhp and reved to 7.9k and very torquey.
2 full seasons of serious thrashing and the std BE was fine, never had an issue. If its done 80k and then you start doing stuff then you may have issues 7k plus.
the joiner pipe is a cut to length item. They'll send you a piece to trim and file a chamfer onto at each end (they come with instructions)Originally Posted by Wobba
fpr wise, get a fixed pressure weber one, adjustable will lead to more problems than it solves
