Hi guys,:wave:
Just got some pics of my blown up B16a. It was a result of high revs stock valve springs. Just a bit of a warning for those thinking about raising their rev limit!!! without upgrading valve springs.
Mods on motor were
Toda A Cams
Itr intake manifold
jdm headers
reinhard takumi cat back
hondata s200
Not pretty guys:(

Hi guys
hope this thread will stop this from happening to you or anyone else. Though i was reving the crap out of it LOL. Oh well build bigger and better!!!
Live and learn, live without regrets
EGJOE:thumbsup:
Sorry to hear.
What rpm was rev limiter at?
yeah how hard were u revving it?
Gday buddy
The rev limiter was around 8500-8600rpm on stock b16a valve springs. Original owner/builder of motor told us it was built with itr valve springs, I guess he lied.:thumbdwn:

hey buddy how much power were u making with that setup...
did you ever get it dynoed?
and was that car already tuned with s200 or did u do it afterwards..
but i must ive never seen a motor "shatter" just over bad valave springs..
hey didnt you have another thread on whether a built b16a or b18c7?
so u decided to go built b16a and blew it up lol?
Dude i saw this happen......
And no offence but i wasnt surprised it happened.
You where driving a red EG Correct?
i saw wat happened on the night.. even if they were itr valve springs, i doubt they'd handle the reving u gave.. maybe a set of bike valve springs can handle ur reving...
8500 8600???
Ive accidently over reved my past that rpm a few times.
try 8900 stock internal B18c (sir-g) my motor still as strong as the day i 1st drove it...
maybe the tune was not good or ur oil pump was goin, or you held it at those revs for a while???
I've done 8,800-9,000rpm on a B18c2 many times by accident.
Seen a JDM B16a go off the ****en dials.
All still going strong today.
But all only momentarily and not sustained RPM.
what type of spring retainers where in there, the springs may not have been at fault.
Sorry to here about yoru engine
