whats the highest you can rev on a B18B (LS) with stock internals with out shooting something out of the top of my hood,....please dont say get a vtec dohc cuz i dont really like vtec (no offense to you vtec ppl out there cuz i used to have one)

 

Good thinking, because revving as high as then engine can will make more power.

bump for the answer.

 

If your staying with the B18b, have you considered going boost?

As for the reving, i wouldnt bring it out much more than what the stock limiter is (is it p72, p75? im not sure with that). I know the LS limiter is 7200. If you were to get that raised (by chip or re-flash) i wouldnt go any higher than 7600-7800.

 

stock redline. dont screw around with it if its stock internals.

 

Sarcasm aside, You should be able to tell how high to rev it upon feel.

At WOT when the engine begins to lose power it's definately time to shift.

It's hard to describe, almost like a little fairy peeing in your ear while saying "Shift Dumbass"

 

Disclaimer: I know this is off topic but...

From your comment about not "liking" VTEC, it appears you don't know much about it. What's not to like? I don't see how it's something that you would "like" or "not like".... Enlighten us.

it's really irrelevant and off-topic either way.

Bottom line, stock internals, stock rev.

 

agreed! stock internals, stock rev

 

Stock redline is 6800, I wouldn't go any higher.

Holy crap, over 22,xxx posts! lol off topic, i know, but ive never seen that many post's.

 

i know plenty about vtec im the only one out of all my friends that chose a non vtec swap and stay right beside them till i hit 3rd they start to pull i hit 4th i blow by them good tq curves i guess but i dont know, i had a jdm h22a and it was alright but i dont want to get into a debate about it because everyone has there own opinion...

 

Well, opinions aside, you shouldn't bother revving the motor past stock. One it won't make any power up there, it's just not able to breathe through that head and two, the valvetrain wasn't designed to handle revs much past where the limiter is stock and valve float/seat bounce is the next step on stock springs.

 

thanx for the answers everyone...they were really helpful

 

considering you dont like VTEC...if you was to have LS Vtec you would have taken your buddys all the way instead of keepin up with them till your third...

 

yea ive thought about it but if i was going to do that i would build it right and the local shop wanted 5 grand to be pushin bout 375 to the ground but i dont have 5k layin around ya know...

 

10k rpm
