at what rpm does the b16 stop making power.....it redlines at 8200 is it worth it to increase rev limit to 9000...what do you guys think

 

if you build it (cams,springs etc.) you will keep making power.

 

i belive fuel cut is at 8200 not redline, the later b16s i think 2nd gen had a higher redline/fuel cut

correct if im wrong

 

IIRC, the b16a reaches max HP around 7800RPM. One advantage of increasing the rev limit of the B16 is gearing. You can stay in a given gear longer and when you upshift be right in the heart of the powerband.

 

Going higher then 8200 on a stock b16 is pointless,,The cams stop makin power at like 7800-8000rpm..Then the power curve just drops..

 

Even with CTR cams and an ITR intake manifold, my B16 started to drop off at around 8300 or so.

 

QUESTION= when does a b16 stop making power (HondaDelsol17)
ANSWER= when it is lined up next to a b18.....J/K man
stock....i would say about 7800 but if you build it right you wont lose power ever....

b18crx

 

7500rpm is where it maxes out and the torque crosses hp at about 5.2-5.4krpm. so keeping it between 5500 and 7600 on an S1 tranny is the best

i would beat your ls crx vs my b16 crx. off the line and walk you all day long. and i'm stock with bolt ons. a stock b18a vs stock b16a you can't compare. our small cars don't need torque.
