Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Couple videos of an BMW S1000RR valvetrain going to 14k rpm. Gives a better understanding to the abuse a valvetrain must withstand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04SVT Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Unreal that anything holds together at that rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Those are pretty cool videos to watch. I bet seeing the same type of video of the lower rotating assembly would be even more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 F1 redline at 20k rpm, just saying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 F1 also costs quite a bit more than $15k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 If you want to talk cheap, my RC car engine spins 32K rpm and it cost $200. It also doesn't have a "valvetrain" to speak of.....:dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Did you notice how fast the valvesprings were spinning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awfulcanawful Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 So that engine is turning 28,000rpm if the valves are going 14K? or is the engine spinning 14K. impressive either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine is spinning 14k. So the cams are turning 7k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
