Aite guyz ihope yall can share your knowledge wit me.. I got a 90 civic with a b16a2. Car waz drivin ghood then for sum reason it won't redline no more.... Umm itz not the timing, or the computer...... The car isn't throwin out a check engine light either... I'm completely lost, had a friend that said oil waz gettin into the vtec solenoid?,?? Wat do u guys think??

 

Define redline and what is your motor currently stopping at?

 

my car used 2 hit 7000 rpm.......... as a redline limit, but after an hour of drivin it stop and it hit 6000 but real slowly and it feelz like itz holdin bakk. the v-tec hit hard at 5000 though.......... im lost???

 

maybe it jumped a thooth? check ur timing i had the same problem like it dies out before redlining

Check your timing, mechanical and electrical; also make sure there are no extra-ordinary restrictions in your intake or exhaust system, i.e. collapsed air filter or clogged catalytic converter.

 

wat would be da best computer for da b16 if i had 2 get a new 1?

 

a chipped p28 in my opinion would be best if u are alerady obd1

 

u dont exactly get a new one.....i would sugest a chipped p28 or a p30...

a chipped p28 or a p30 ......... where would i get dem from?? wat year car?? sry guyz rememba i am a noobie!!!

 

a p28 is found in 92-95 civic coupe ex or 92-95 hatch si...am not too sure on the p30

 

so wat would have 2 be done for it 2 be "chipped"???

 

p30 comes off 92 - 95 b16 del sols

 

oh sry i 4 got.....take the ecu to a pro maybe a race shop around ur area? they should be able to chip it n gave u a nice map to work with..

 

so i figure dat it would throw a check engine light if i , just throw it on without gettin it chippied.........

 

Any of the ECU's mentioned that aren't a stock replacement of your current one are all OBD-1, so if you have not converted to OBD-1 electronics than the work goes up a bit to get this done. Or in other words:
KISS rule applies here.

 

oh if its still obd0 than a pr3 would work fine.....it wont throw a code becuase the ecu isnt chipped, its just that a p28 has stock maps for a 1.6 soch vtec not 1.6 dohc vtec so ur car wouldnt run great with a stock p28....p30 yea cus it came out of a b16 del sol n if its obd0 like i said the pr3 would be fine cus it came out of jdm b16 crx's

 

ok i get it now........thnx alot guyz all of you guyz were a BIG help....
