From what i can understand he's saying that his rev limiter was at 6900 rpms, and one day his friends told him to rev it up and the limiter hit 8500 rpms. he wants to know what happend and if its going to fukk his car up.

What is the limit for an LS vtec? um from my knowledge if the limit for the engine for examle is 8000 it suppose to stay at 8000 so i think you may have an ecu thats unlimited but hey i dont know what the limit is on your kind of motor...

i know that if you past the the limit of the engine when revving it should blow your engine..

*also um the piston would break but hey atleast the piston arms would be loose so um the arms wouldnt take much force to move back and forth which means that the engine would become faster

the down side new pistons baby

I think your forgeting somthing.
It does not make any sence. your rev cant just jump up that much one day.
i supose its possible that a sensor is not liking a situation at 6900 and causes it to cut. or maybe a fuel psi issue.
regardless, go waste your money on hondata and reset that rev to like 7400. i dout your setup will even make power past that anyway.
rev that to 85 a few more times and you will not have a motor.

well i talked to the previous owner and he said that the redline on the ECu was alway's supposed to be 8500 so now it is all i need is to figure out why the Vtec wont engage but its probably the ECU
