high rpms?

[Jeenyus]

if your pushing 5k rpms on a na ka, how bad is that actually for it, i mean i dont do it often but when im drifting i get up there, and i know its bad, i just dont know like exactly whats happening thats bad, like whats it really hurting? i mean what do you guys drive at. ive got my flamesuit on and ready. and yes i know im an idiot, and your all smarter than me, and im a newbie, and i tried searching, so i think ive got you guys covered

[Jeenyus]

oh come on, no one has anything to say, puh leessee

[McRussellPants]

5k

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

bounce the limiter repeatedly while you drift. it's actually good for the engine. plus it gives you extra street cred and will cause the girls to give you street drifting road head.

non-flame translation: nothing except fuel mileage and long, long term reliability. don't ask such dumbass questions.

[Jeenyus]

hey i just dont wanna screw up my engine, im new, and i dont make much money, so this is all i got, i love my car. sorry for asking a dumb question, im just a dumb kid.

[nissanberto]

lol. oh yea girls go crazy when they hear the engine bouncing up and down.... my N/A ka24(e) had 180,ooo miles on it, and i hit that rev limitor at least twice each weekend, for about 9 months, then the o-rings finally gave out.

[MrGiLL408]

thats wat i hate its a simple question jus answer it with a simple answer. dont "flame" or w.e teh person. no need to apologize to these jerks jeenyus

[SimpleSexy180]

OMG................

OLD CAR with probably more than 100k miles...

IT ALL depends on what condition your motor is in..

[Dousan_PG]

f that i reved the shit out of my old KA and my friends hwen i drive
ka is rough and tough
drifting on the KA is well above 5k all the time

[smurfgcr]

your not going to blow anything up at 5k, no need to get so worried. i drive my ka within an inch of its life whenever i can. if something happens, take your time to learn how to fix what you broke rather than save money for shopwork.

good advice, except not everyone can take there time if its their daly driver and weekend warrior

[womenbeshoppin]

drive it like you stole it, and never look back.

[Wei240]

5k is fine if you take good care of the car,
but 6k watch out, oh no.... lol

[s13gold]

5k is coolll...
just dont go too crazy now....dont pass 6. lol.

[Irukandji]

wait.. really?
this is a serious thread?

[drift freaq]

[Ca_laurier]

whoa now thats pushing the limits, wheres that bee-r rev limiter video....

[redsuns3838]

if you dont want to break ur car. drifting probably isnt for you. Im not putting you down, Im just stating the fact. If you dont have anything besides your current car to run...you might not want to drift until you have money saved up to quickly repair the car if anything happens. or purchase a daily driver. But hitting 5K isnt going to blow your engine next week. assuming its a healthy engine...just take care of it, do general maintenance ontime or before needed. change fluids and filters regularly and the car should last quite a while.

[zugoi]

5k is nothing. I personally think you need to redline that bitch once in a while to show it whos boss.

AHAHHAHA thats funny

[s13 drifta]

Right now Im trying to blow my ka24e because i have a new motor and I havent had any luck yet. I beat the shit out of it and redline it all day long for the past few months and it wont die.

I would love to be able to do that right now. I'm definitely gonna plan some serious track time once I get another motor ready. Should be a blasty-blast.

Original poster, like already said, you should be fine. I would just do oil changes about every 2000 miles since you are pushing the motor, the oil viscosity breaks down faster than usual. So to get more out of it, replace it before regular intervals, and also check your level frequently to be sure your not low on oil. I've seen that claim quite a few engines simply because the oil light is just too late.....

[McRussellPants]

lol 2000 mile oil changes on KA.


mobil 1 says it will last 7500, do that. KA gets treated like a bitch since the shit costs 50cents to replace.

[backroadtouge]

be cool like me and bust yo motor reving to 7 at full lock!!! it gets you laid basicaly. o wait. :d

[EchoOfSilence]

my sohc blew a ring after redlining it a couple times

so on this one (another sohc) i'm actually hesitant. 220k+ on the odo isn't very reassuring. lol

Ah....once again we go around McRussell......

I suggested 2000 for ABUSIVE driving. Which translates to racing, high revving, spirited driving. Mobil wouldn't be a bad idea, you pay more, and you could always try to exploit their warranty.....

But most likely you won't get squat after they inspect the oil at time of death....

Either way you're looking to spend more money, more oil changes with standard oil, or use mobil with less oil changes.....

Or you could just keep the engine inside a safe revving area....problem solved.

Man just show that motors whos boss.
