Default 2000 Civic Rev Limiter Removal?

What are some of the ways to do it? I guess more importantly, move it up?

Do you have any head work done? If not, don't bother.

i wouldnt rev it past the factory rev limit (8200rpm) for 2 reasons....

1. The Valve springs (mainly exhaust side) are not meant to rev much past that point. Valve float will start shortly after 8200

2. That motor will not make beneficial power past its factory rev limit

If for some reason you still want to rev it higher look into an OBD1 conversion harness and a chipped obd1 ecu. Rip away to 10 grand and see what happens
