The stock redline is plenty. You won't make power far before stock redline, let alone after it.

To get a motor to reliably (and usefully) rev past the set fuel cut and rev limiter, you need to upgrade your motors internal parts -- valves, retainers, valvesprings, camshaft, pistons, rods, bearings, etc.

you will reap no benefit from chipping a stock motor, let alone rev past stock redline. if want to feel some power, do a motor swap, or turbo your existing motor.

 

well i met a guy that rev'd his till 8000rpm no problems but the one time he went over he blew his motor...i was told somewhere else if i changed my rods i can rev higher

 

you probably won't gain any more power from that chipped ecu, you'll probably mess up your gas mileage and kill your engine faster. have fun

 

*sigh*

VDub kids.

 

ya i was thinking about boosting it..but since i went from a big turbo car to this car i just want something n/a this is why i bought this car...even with the stock single cam vtec i beat ls integra's so i was wondering if theres anything i can do to make it just alittle preppy so i dont get left behind the b-series vtec's

 

You're not going to make any type of good power building an N/A D-series without pissing GOBS of money into that pipe-dream. Turboing and swapping are the cheapest (and most available) ways to get power out of a Civic.

It doesn't even have to be a big turbo kit. You can build a SOHC turbo setup that's reliable for less than $1000 with junkyard parts.

 

hey... my vdub made some nice power before i sold it to buy a honda to save gas...

I'll bet, the GTX is a hog.

If you want to save gas -- don't modify your car.

Don't race it, don't drive aggressively, don't accelerate sharply, don't decelerate quickly. Basically ...

Grandma your **** around town.

 

ya i know i've been in the boosted scene long enough...forget it i'll just save up and drop a K20a screw bseries...the only car that ever kept up to my old car was a built k20a eg

Welcome to the $10,000 swap club.

 

haha the big turbo gtx driving normal gave me 280km's to a tank of ultra94 if i ripped it on the highway maybe 45mins of fun..lol
i was actually thinking leaving it bonestock and grannyin it around but i got beat by a 2008 vw rabbit...which i cant stand..

 

meh my gtx swap cost more after the big turbo set up

you bought a civic to go NA? not on your current setup i hope. and it's easy to say you beat ls integras, but automatc ls's don't count, 1/16th of a mile don't count, and remember it's always the driver, not the car. you building you current set up to go NA you will still not keep up with a vtec b-series motor anyways.

if you want to go fast, with a reliable motor/parts, and stay at a reseaonable price. then swapping to a b-series motor or going turbo on you "d" is the best options. now if you have the money for a k-series motor, then by all means go for it.

but i wouldn't spend not a dime on NA parts for you sohc.

 

yeah I call bs on beating ls integra's with a single cam unless they were automatic. not that they're fast or anything..
