3.0 and 22RE redline
Just curious as to how far everyone has pushed these motors.
How many RPM's have you gotten up to on a 3.0?
How many RPM's have you gotten up to on a 22RE?
What happened?
How many miles when it happened?
Any mods that helped it survive, caused it to fail?
Would you ever go that high again?

I had my 89 V6 up to 80 mph in 3rd gear (manual) by accident one day. I was pretty trashed from a mt bike race, and had the music up. No visible or different engine sounds that I could tell. The original HG even held up.

I've pushed my 3vze to 5500, but rarely. It pretty much only happens when I'm trying to merge into traffic in the city. I only do it when I know she's good and warmed up as well. I've blown a head gasket due to gunning it before it was warmed up... mind you it was a honda civic and that changing it took all of an afternoon...

my old 22re had over 200k on it and i ran it to the rev limiter all the time it was in a modded 2wd 5 speed car it was fun and held up real well....i drove it that hard for 2 years before i sold it for my 4x4 4runner....with my 3.0 i only run it up real high if i am merging and have took it up to 6K a couple times....

The 22R-series has a long piston stroke, which results in high piston speeds per RPM. As such, it's never going to be a high-rpm motor.
There's absolutely no reason to rev it to redline unless it's significantly modified. If you're running it to redline to go "fast" - you're doing it wrong... Shift it earlier, keep it in the powerband and your ET will be better.

I have had both my 22RE's at revlimiter (6250ish), but above 5K you get diminishing returns...I will routinly pull long hills at 5K thou... Once in my 95 I had a headwind, and couldnt hold speed in 4th, so I put it in 3rd and set cruise at 5K.. drove that way for 3+ hours.. .no issues....
