Stock B16a Reving Past 8000rpm??

Hey guys, STOCK delsol with b16a2 reving past 8000rpm is tha tpossible :confused: my mate reckons it can at around 8200 or so.

8200 sounds normal

out off is at 8200

8200 son is best for stock.

Yes over time... all in due course.
By shifting at 8200 allows you to shift on a better part of the toque and power curve. you peak power is at 7800rpm

you springs should not float at 8200 and that is what really matters.. weakening and wear comes as apart of driving. And its also debatable as to how much the valve springs can handle

I know if a crazy ass driver from this forum, who would hold his revs (it would even hit the rev limiter) just to gain a second out of corner...
his car has over 190,000 kms and is still going strong...

well if thats the only thing that gets weakend by this extra RPM, if the valves and springs are changed, is higher RPM available?

I still reserve the right to say "I told you so" when the shit hits the fan.

crazy..:cool:

Thanks guys was just wondering thats all, so best thing is shift at redline untill i upgrade the valve springs and cams, would CTR cams and valve springs do good?? or should i go aftermarket brands instead of honda?

Just dont drive it in the red part of your tacho and you'll be fine

This to me is a very broad question, and depends on what your ultimate goals are.....

If you looking for a very mild upgrade and will not go beyond the scope of I/H/E, and something decent to tune it all with.... then the CTR/ITR cams with corresponding springs may be ok for your needs.

I know a few on this forum will say that CTR cams are a waste of time in a otherwise stock B16A...... which is actually the opposite to what people say in the states from this "mildest" of upgrades with factory honda equipment.

Me waits for one particular person him to chime in again regarding this debate :)
