Why did the engine spin up to 8k?

Really sorry to hear this. I've been watching the build and was hopeful. Anyway, done that myself years ago; blew piston #2 threw the CF Hood. the NOS bottle rolled on me and the motor ran lean...very expensive mistake on my part. Wish I had some spare parts to send your way, but I don't. Let me know how I could help other than sending you a lot of $.

So he change the RPM by +500? Thats just stupid at least on a stock engine. Was it a stock engine?

Very sorry about the failure. Good time to start the build though! It's been on my mind too since my Time Attack competition got a recent boost in power.

Makes me very glad I installed the AM Performance baffled oil pan last year. Does anyone else make a suitable oil pan or are you going to convert to dry sump?

stock engines can take close to 8k rpm occasionally without problems. 7500rpm is where nissan felt safe warrantying the engine for 60k miles

But thats silly to say. A stock Z engine can probably handle 20 pounds of boost for a while then Boom like what happen here. Its cool people are trying new things but this seemed silly. IDK.

it's not silly at all dude, lots of people raise their redlines a little over stock when tuning. if it's tuned right, it should work fine. it definitely looks like oil starvation played a role in this problem, not completely the higher rpms (though that was part of it)
