Default Can a stock GSR valvetrain handle 8800RPM???

I have a JDM b18C engine.

Can a stock SIR-G valvetrain handle 8800RPM???

I upgraded my stock butterfly manifold to a skunk 2. I sent my ecu to get a type R map put on and set the VTEC @ 5300 and redline @8800RPM.

Thank you...

why'd you get a type r base map, do you also got type r cams, header, etc? And no, i wouldn't count on a stock gsr motor handling 8800 rpm.

Id also like to know why you want a type R base map?? And no stock gsr valvetrain is not made to withstand 8800rpm. It might take it a few times but its definitely not intended nor safe. Even if it could handle 8800rpm, you wouldnt make any power that high anyways unless you had cams.

I am not planning on going there with the RPMS. I just want to make sure that if I dont shift on time that I'll be ok if the rpms go there. I plan on shifting at 8100-8200 RPMS

Mishifts can cause a lot of engine damage, bent or dropped valves, valve to piston contact, be careful.

Just upgrading my stock snail GSR manifold to a skunk2 manifold helped. My GSR ecu will cause a bogging at 4400 RPMS. Now the type r map will smooth the powerband and increase HP mid-hi.

And youre completely sure of that?

You have to have very slow reactions to let your motor get to 8800rpm without shifting. After ~8200rpm it climbs very slowly.

unless u have mods done to it there really is no need to go that high, i had my p28 chipped w/mugen chip for my b16 and its set to redline at 10,000rpmbut ive never takin it that high, actually i dont make **** of power after 8,500rpm, trust me ive tried it plenty of times, not smart but i wanted to make sure, but no need to go that high homie.

Yes it can take it, how long it will last will rely on how you drive and how much power the car is making.

And just as everyone else has said, it's pointless unless you are making power that high.

Not with stock components they don't. You better have some pretty big cams and a good flowing manifold/throttlebody/header/exhaust setup for that.

And no, I wouldn't even considerin revving the stock valvetrain that high. There is a reason why Honda needed a combination of both stiffer springs and lighter valves to extend the redline on the Type R engines. Look into it some.

there is no reason to rev that high with a stock gsr it will not make power all the way up to 9K

no its not gonna handle 8800rpm and no you wont have power up there anyway. and that itr basemap is gonna make your GSR run like garbage. just to let you know.
