Hello,

Until recently I was under the assumption that my f20b would let me rev it as high as I wanted until I blew the motor.

I bought an f20b with a **** load of mods, more than I could mention, installed and ready to go.

When I was looking for max rpms for f20b I've heard from 7200 to 9000. Mk so to be safe I'd only take it to 7500 Max but I know it will let me go farther.

But recently some people told me that the maximum rev is set electronically by the ECU? So does that mean I should try and max out rpms just to see how high I can go? I always thought that wasn't good for the engine and runs risk of slinging a rod or otherwise blowing your motor...

Thanks.

Bump~ I feel like this is a simple question.

Is there an RPM limiter on my f20b, like controlled by ECU? or is it going to let me push it til I blow the motor?

lol...nobody is answer cause this is a really simple question, and plus anybody who is into
cars should of know this by now that all cars have a rev limiter controlled by an ecu
unless you have that ecu tuned and all that good stuff and take out the rev limited
then you'll have no rev limiter

I've previously stated I'm not "into cars" So that would explain why I don't know. I've spent my life in the IT industry I'm not an auto-mechanic. That's why I came here..

That's like you going to a computer forum for help asking how many volts does your PCIE graphics card run off of. And I say "Well anyone who's into pc's should know this by now" Lol...

I just bought this car a couple months ago just for the thrill now I want to learn about it. Thank you for somewhat answering my question...

So it's possible this f20b will let me push it until i blow the motor...

yes, there's a rev limiter on all Honda ECUs. I'm not sure what it is on an f20b, but it's there unless the ECU has been modified.

It's still not good to bounce off it constantly. It's fine to hit it occasionally.

Cool. Can't wait to get home and see what it's tuned too.

If your car has more mods then you could post, maybe it has a completely built head; in which case the rev limiter would be turned up and would be able to handle the high rev.

Here is the number one rule: You don't rev past where your power starts to drop off. If the head and block are stockish then google a dyno graph of a F20b that is close to yours and see whereabouts the power drops off. That is where you SHOULD shift at.

But bouce that **** and have fun for now ;D
