Default b16a with reving limitation and a possible out of time or bad rod.

my b16a is not rev as its suppose to it only taps out at 7,000 rpm. and my conclusion is that it might be out of time or maybe i didn't install the knock sensor. and as far as the sound i hear something ticking in the engine some where near the block.

lol...sorry. okay have a b16a and the ECU is a 5- speed p72, but i dont have the knock sensor install and the vtec pressure switch. now the problem is when i try to rev the engine it taps out around 7,000 rpm. and when i drive it does not pass 6,500 rpm and i hear a ticking sound, but thats not when im driving.

holy asian! he is saying that right now his motor redlines at 7grand and the problem might be he didnt install some **** such as a pressure switch and knock sensor(which you should do before you even turn the key) and there is a ticking sound which i conclude as it being valve lash. good? yea i know my moms korean and my dad is white so i got ears for it.

lol.... thats funny man. so thats your conclusion? b/c my friend said i didnt need the knock sensor and the vtec pressure switch. the only thing my friend connected was one wire thats is on the bottom of the vtec solenoid head.

p.s your not half Korean and half white are you?
land of the Mexicans, texhasass?

i bet you must be from tamaulipas...lol.

oh and how do you adjust the valve lash?

EGR95, i hope if you take one thing away from honda-tech at all, for the love of god may it be the ability to read, write, and speak the english language.

you definitely need a knock sensor. you are also using the wrong ECU, still.

get a jdm p30 ECU, or get a p28 ecu and have it chipped with a stock b16 map.

its not the ecu. check the distributors cap and rotor
you can also chip the p72 for a basemap b16
you need to have vtec wired to the vtec pressure switch that should still be on your motor. you cannot take off the vtec selonoid

distributer cap and rotor are good. does it matter if its a p73 dis? oh and as far as the vtec pressure switch its broken and i only have one wire connected.

LOL what the hell.

your ticking sound by the block is your valves, their hitting, chances r u got ur vlavle lash out of wack.

i have the same issue since my crankshaft pully went out and ate my keyway and walls.

i need to pull my engine and replace the whole block and do my valves.

fix ur valves to fix ur ticking first, then fix ur sensor problems and ull be fine

ur engine is only reving to 7grand or 6800 because the valves r smashing agasint something and cannot go any further. or trying to exceeed rpms it cannot

i think its 6800 rpm and i try driving it and i feel that my single cam is stronger than my b16a.

and not only that when i drive it only reaches 6,500 and then i shift gear. this happens to all the gears?

before changing the ecu try going to the junkyard and pulling an ICM and igniter out of a donor. Mine was doing this but a little sooner at about 5000rpm. I changed them out in about 5 mins and it is pulling strong now. The p72 base and p30 base arent that far off..btw.
