Attained 15000 rpm with my engine; no problems
As the title says, I pushed my rotary to over 15000 rpm and I didn't find any problem during ar after the run. I have had no way to measure the power output (at least not yet), so no hp figures for now.
For sure I can tell you that the engine, the transmission and everyting else survived the test, and everything was in good conditions. I could have probably run the engine at 15000+ for minutes with no ill effects, although I limited my extreme speed runs to a few seconds each.
Now for the technical part: the engine is completely stock, it has not even been opened once after it left the factory (and, in case you are wondering, it's not a race engine ). I'm uploading a video on Youtube right now taken during the test that shows everything. It clearly explains how I did that and how everybody can do that.
Now it's the turn for your insults and BS calls, at least until I post the video.
See you later.

how do you know it was 15k? not outta sarcasm, but what was telling you it was at 15k?
yes. post. another dude said 11k and that seems more believeable, but why? we lose power after 8500/9k anyways.

The upload is not yet completed (damn slow connection!!! It is ad ADSL, but it's still so damn slow sometimes). I'll post a direct link when it's up.
As far as the "Why" question, it was some kind of a personal challenge.

I can tell you it SCREAMS, plain and simple. And you'd be surprised to know that it all costed me less than 300$. But that was with a lot of homemade stuff.

do you understand how rapidly the stress rises on those parts once you get over 7500 rpm???
How did you override the fuel cutoff?

upload it again on google video when you get a chance. a LOT of people can't access youtube during the day due to internet filters.

Destroying Threads
I'm not being sarcastic or anything, but I have done it too, I was on nitrous at the time, I misshifted 3rd gear, and the nitrous was still pumpin( floored it) at my rev needle went pass 10k and went all the way to where the speedometer is located ( idk what that would translate into) then it comes back no problem, if there is going to be a problem, the flywheel would probably cut my leg off by now, but nothing happened, I let her settle down, shifted to 3rd and drove off no problem

i downshifted into second too soon one time and it went above 10k rpm ( i know for sure because the revs sounded higher and as they descended it finally hit after a second) but like i said...why?

Scatter Shield!
I certainly hope you have a scatter shield to protect you from the shrapnel that can rip right through your car if a mechanical failure were to occur from such high speed engine/transmission operation.
