your rev limiter is set to 7200, but your redline is at 6800 rpm. however, i do not recommend pushing past 5000 rpm on a regular basis. your engine is made for gas mileage. not racing. your engine wont last long acting like a ricer.

Re: Stock D16y7 Help.
The Y7 is BY NO MEANS ment to be reved hard and treted like a b16 or b18(Vtec) mini will get you a little more HP. But i have a Y7 in my dd it's slow it was ment to get good MPG and last long if you don't beat the **** out of it like you'r wanting to.

Re: Stock D16y7 Help.
This'll end badly. There's no real advice for modifying an N/A D16Y7 other than:
1) Build for lower compression, turbocharge and tune.
2) Swap the motor
3) Be an idiot and try to build it N/A
4) Get another car.
Seeing N/A Y7's try to race is like watching a snail or turtle shouting down a road.

You can hit the rev limiter whenever you feel the need, Honda built this and a fuel cutoff into the ECU to help prevent damage, but as one or two members already pointed out this is not advisable on a stock D16Y7 engine regularly.
I want to apologize for the other members that contributed absolutely nothing to this thread. It's becoming a problem and you just have to weed through the BS responses on this forum nowadays....
