yea...8200...just dont get overboard...just because you have an 8200 redline doesnt mean you have to peg it all the time....take a look at your powerband and see where the power dips off and shift there

Are we talking about where the fuel cut is? Or where the gauge dips into the red? Some people get terms mixed up a bit and end up getting the wrong info.

I think the rev limit is 8400 or 8500 rpm.

Oh okay, so it's only a few hundred RPM after the redline. So these guys that are shifting at 9k obviously have chipped P28s or something else.

what about the rev limiter on a b16a2?

my ecu is a chipped p28 with no rev limiter.

I shift between 7500-8000 if im running hard, but never take it over 8.

Keep it under 8400rpm, but you'd be better under 8200. If the head is stock, find the stock redline and don't exceed it.

It would be the same as a B16A since the valvetrain is the same, all that's different are the cams. So 8400-8500.

Take it to 9k foo, your b16a head is safe till 8500 then you have to worry about valve float, if yours is a b16a obd0 with the 10.2.1 compression your straight till 9k even to 9500 if you got ballz, but transmission won't deliver past 8500 unless you have a s4c which delivers till 9200rpm

b16/b17 is 8200
b18c is 8100
b18c5 is 8600
b16b is 8900

Dam, Well you better be carefull when your racing, All it takes is one missed shift and you floor the gas for the next gear but it don't go into gear and it rev's to 10K and drop a valve into the combustion chamber or maybe something worse. so take those shift slow and careful.
