I NEED TO KNOW WHAT A D16Z6 SHOULD REDLINE AT? I SEEN A FACTORY TACH FOR SALE ON E-BAY AND ITS REDLINE WAS 6800 BUT THE TACH IN MY RIDE THE REDLINE IS 7250! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

7200 redline, 7500 rev limiter.

THOUGHT SO, THANKS MAN

You sure 7500 is the rev limiter, I could have sworn my old Si went past that once.

Stock tachs are horribly inaccurate.

I believe that the limiter is at 8000...

No way in hell it's 8000

As said before, redline is at 7200 and limiter is at 7500 on the Z6. The Y8 however has the redline at 6800 and the limiter is at 7000 I believe.

Honda claims the Y8 redline as 6900 rpm.

well my friend sold me a computer and i thought it was chipped cause if i remember redline starts before 7200 and i thought the revlimiter was supposed to be at 7200 ..my limiter is at 7500 but my vtec kicks at 4900 ..which i thought was higher on stock comps

sounds about right

Redline on a z6/y8 should be 5500

That'd be way too low for me! Unless of course the Z6/Y8 had way more torque than the current specs.

lol...i say 6500...7,200 RPM is just for revving fun...you lose so much power after 6500

Not really, I made power to fuel cut with my P2P ecu which was 7200. I now have a P28 and fuel cut is 7500. I will be getting back on a dyno when my motor is broken in after 600 more miles, so I'll find out where power starts dropping. This is with stock cam too. There was however, some tuning with a cam gear and slightly tighter valve clearances. With stock settings I think it made power to 6800-6900.

My Y8 on the chassis dyno was hitting the rev limiter at 6800-6850 rpms. Just had a 94 on the dyno, I think it recorded hitting the rev limiter at 7200 rpm.

interesting, well i have essentially a stock mini-me setup (B7/Z6) and there is a noticable difference after 6,500-6,600 RPM...

Actually now that I go back and look, it looks more like the P2P hit 7000.

Never trust the factory tach for an acurate rpm reading. Mine is a 200-300 rpm off of what the real value is.
