11K redline 4A-GE from anime "Initial D"

This thread is getting derailed too much, I believe.

The engine in Initial D was a racing engine "detuned" so that high octane petrol from ordinary station could be used.

The racing class was touring cars, not Formula Atlantic as some seems to think.
Formula Atlantic engines were based on the more common 16 valve 4A-GE, NOT the 20 valve drawn in Initial D.

Just to put the thread back on track. I made an attempt. Using the right tech year and jpn premium fuel. I just got valvefloat at 11k rpm but a lot of power for a 1.6 NA

The engine was a race engine, so the quality/tech sliders can be quite far to the right. Maybe 10-12, or more.
