I want to raise my revlimiter about 500rpm. What is the best way to do this? Also, I want a spark-inhibited revlimiter not the factory fuel cut-off...something besides an aftermarket ignition

a chip. thats about the only way to do this since it is all computer controlled. www.hondata.com

 

why only 500...thats practically nothing...whats ur limit now? well what car u got?

 

Your not gonna make that much more power in the powerband by raising 500 rpm go like 9,000 depending on your set up!

 

he's right 500 rpm is nothing!!

 

I think the only way you can get a spark-inhibited revlimiter would be with an after market ignition like msd soft touch rev control. I wish they came with that instead of a fuel cutoff but I guess it would be bad for emissions so they don't.

 

I only want 500rpm because I still got stock valvesprings on the D16y8. I am running turbo so I THINK that a little higher revlimit can give me more power. I also want to stay in the powerband better.

 

it wont help you
you make no power above the stock rev limit
its there for a reason.
upgrade your cam/spring setup then go for revving.

 

what powerband are you considering? maybe you want to look at a vafc so that you can stay in vtec after you shift at redline instead of going outta vtec all the time..

 

I actually have a VAFC, and I have it set so that I am still in VTEC when I shift. However, I feel that the turbo should help me moreso on the topend (duh); therefore, raising the revlimit.

 

raising the rev limit on a y8? stock internals? y8 internals are crap

 

I have a D16Y8 with an ITR ECU. I can rev to 8,500 RPM but have only taken it to 8,000. If you're just adding a 500 rev limit, it's only even worth getting it chipped.

 

how does yours d16y8 motor run w/ the itr ecu.. i have a p72 (obd1 gsr) ecu in my garage that im gonna use when i do my swap, and have thought about plugging it in to see how the car will run. i did hear that i will get a CEL cause my d16z6 does not have a knock sensor, but the car will still run fine, is it worth it to hook that ecu up or not???

 

To answer your question, YES it is worth the hook up. Have some fun before your motor swap. You'll feel a big difference in the fuel maps(higher redline too). I raced my friend's EG wth a B16A the other day and stuck on him like glue, he only won by a car after third gear.

I also had a friend with a 94' Si with a GSR ecu, he was never able to chirp on third but after the ecu hook up he can. So hook it up and have some fun.

 

what are the chances of blowing the motor or causing damage to the stock motor and internals w/ it? i will not be getting my swap for about 2 months. how long can i run on that ecu w/ out causing damage?? thanks

 

Won't cause any damage unless you take it past redline all the time.

 

what kinda ECU swap can I make for a d16y7(dx)?? are there any I can get pretty cheap? I just want a little better fuel mapping.

please help sounds like an easy mod

 

thanks man.. put the p72 ecu in tonight and decided to see how how i could get it.. didnt want to push it that hard.. my vafc said that i revd to about 7850rpms.. not that bad considering im used to rev limiter kicking in at 7400rpms w/ the p28 ecu..

 

I have a D16z6, what Ecu can i swap in. Why would this be a good idea what are the gains what will happen with the VTEC change over point

 

easiest ecu to find and probably get it is a 94-95 integra gsr obd1 ecu.. im gonna test this ecu out and see how the fuel maps are compared to the stock p28 ecu.. im not worried about the vtec crossover now cause i have a vafc and it is still the same as my stock ecu, i used to be able to redline and drop down to about 4500rpms and still fell vtec w/ it..
