PR3/PW0 is 4800.

All other B16s are 5200, with the exception of the B16B.

it should be 5200 with the jdm p30. i have a jdm b16 sir2 also and on my tach it seems to kick in around 5800-6000 but i think the tach is inacurate.

PW0-E00 (EDM ECU) is 5280 under WOT
PW0-000 (JDM ECU) is 4800 under WOT

It will enage higher under less load.

That when my P30 kicks in, but when I hooked up my VAFC, it was defaulted to 5800.

5800 here and the redline should be 8200rpm and the funny thing is i never got to the point when my needle was suppose to be jumping around my tach, can it be way off but when i checked it was only off by 120ish rpm or so... gotta get a dyno to finally find out whats going on...
