I haven't raced in the 1/4mile in a while, so I did and noticed my 2000si doesn't have a rev limiter any more? What could have happened? Is it something with the ECU? I can use all the feedback....

Filliam H. Muffman

...how high have you revved it?

BlackCivSi

I found out my accident, where the rev limiter was supposed to kick in, but the rpm's jumped to about 8900 - 9000

jerbear!

tach's are off. my rev limit is supposed to kick in at 6500 but i goes all teh way to 7200 til it kicks in

MarkZeroNine

lol.. wow.

my old hatch w/ a b16a2 didnt have a rev-limiter because it was a kenji chipped ecu, scared the hell outta me..

dont know what to tell you though sorry

what are you running with a 6500 limit?

Filliam H. Muffman

did it stop revving after 9k or did you let off?

BlackCivSi

I have the B-16a2, do you think it has a chip in it then, I did buy it used, but it never did this before, and Ive had it fo aboiut a year now? It scared the hell out of me too... Damn, I don't know what to do...

You have no ******* clue what your talking about.
Hint that he said 99-00 si and anyways the p28 doesnt even rev limit at 6500 rpms anyways.

Heres a little sneak peak of some of the new rules..

If there is a tech topic and you have a "pretty good idea" about an answer then please say so. Stating something matter-of-factly when you're not 100% certain can be a terrible thing. Also sometimes you may think you have the right info, so try to avoid posting things in a manner that leaves you no wiggle room if it ends up being incorrect. Use phrases like "I'm pety sure" or "If I recall correctly" so that someone else can verify your info before someone else takes it as gosphel truth.

I think jerbear was just giving a example of tachs being off. Because he said nothing about ecu's or anything with the SI. Just that tachs are off.

Im thinking D15? Thats where my limit was at anyway.

Mr.E.G.

maybe jerbear has an ls. he didnt say that his b-16 ecu has a rev limiter that kicks in late. he just said that his rev limiter is supposed to kick in at x rpms and is late to the show. i have a b-20 and an ls ecu and the rev limiter kicks in some where around 7200.

Filliam H. Muffman

wtf..dc2 what the hell are you talking about?. nobody said anything about a p28, and the stock tachs are off at the higher RPM range, but i dont know if thats the problem

EDIT: i believe VX's cut off around 6500.(notsure)

BlackCivSi

When my tach reached 9000 I let off. I tried it tonight just to see, damn, I don't have money to take it somewhere and have it looked at, does anyone have anymore info. about my 2000si that doesn't seem to have a rev limiter???

dantastic

my eh2 tach goes to 9000, then hits the revlimiter (p28 chipped to p30 spec, 8500 rpms rev limit). damn inaccurate honda tachs

EG-B20vtec

Who cares?
Those wack stock cams ain't doing nothing after 8000 rpm.
So shift already!

BlackCivSi

Not running stock cams...Running Skunk 2 Stage 1 cams...I still shift before 8 anyways...Those cams sure make my vtec scream though...

Mr Hammond

Have you even looked at your ECU to see if you still have a P2T ECU???

Lil Corb

do you have a v-afc or another way to see the RPMs accuratly? cause stock tachs suck at high rpms. I have a em1 too and I took it too 8500 and it still didn't hit fuel cut.

What kind of valvetrain do you have?

krys

ok well if you keep doing that your going to get valve float that is if you dont have stock int but you can all way just pick up a new ecu for like 250 or so at inlinefour.com

BlackCivSi

Ya, so I had someone look at my **** and they said my ECU was chipped with something they never seen before. I'm going to have to buy a new one now, anyone got ideas about which one would do me best?

Well if you want a stock ECU I have a 99-00 civic Si ECU. If you want to convert to OBD1. PM Kenji.

BlackCivSi

thanks for the offer, but i already got one from a pick and pull, if it doesn't work out i'll be sure to start another thread...
