Hi all,
Quick intro, i have a 2009 FN2 Type R.
I was wondering if anyone has some knowledge or experiance to answer howcome the Redline is 8,800rpm.
I believe that it has been higher on previous models.
Also the type R engines are always usually indestructable, but i was just wondering if anyone has already extended the RPM, or has knowledge that might help in pointing out areas of intrest that need to be considered?
Just trying to gather some information before i go out and find out the expensive way that there was a reason the RPM was lowered, through engine failure.
As i see it i would guess that a new ECU, set of cams and valve springs is needed.
Basically just want to add a bit more fun factor to driving the car, when im not stuck in traffic.
Thanx, apologies in advance if this is in the wrong area or has already been posted. (im new and its my first post)
