going to get my ecu chipped and base mapped at pherable. was curious if i should keep my revlimit stock. the engine is a d16z6 stock valve train. port matched, hondata im gasket. CAI headers and 2.25 in exhaust throttle body coolant bypass. going to be running a 50 wet shot. would i get any benefit out of changing the stock red line?

 

stock valvetrain = stock redline

 

Dude just get a dyno tune, I got a basemap from phearable, it ran worse than the stock ECU... I have b16a2 skunk2 stage 1 cams, valvetrain, exhaust, intake, etc...

It is terrible, it idles awful runs more rich than with the stock tune, vtec engages later, car won't even start sometimes...

 

no benefit

it'll get a you a hole in your block

 

Thats exactly what i was going to put and the way i was going to put it. I dont know why people think they should up the redline on a stock engine with minimal add-ons and a stock valvetrain.

 

It doesnt matter even if you had a built valvetrain. D motors arent made to rev. you start taking it to 8k+ (even with a built valvetrain) and before you know it u torched the bottom end. Spun a bearing, ****ed up the crank, threw a rod, etc. Normally though you spin a bearing when you start over revving it. Unless its fully blueprinted weighted and balanced its not worth it to start ****ing with the redline. My Redline is @ 7400. Basically stock head with a built bottom end. I shift @ 7 or 7200 when I'm racing. other than that I dont even take it that high.
Keep your redline stock so that you dont blow it up.

 

so i shouldnt even bother getting it base mapped? i waneted some type of launch control but i guess it dosnt matter. its not worth ****ing up my car

 

I can't say what exactly would happen with your car... Perhaps it would work great because you have less mods than me... I do know however that my friend who has the same car as me had the surging idle issue and he only has bolt-ons... I don't think its going to blow your motor or anything like that with the stock rev limit... My car ran rich before because of the cams, and I told phearable that when I ordered my ECU... Now it runs so rich that it completely fouls the plugs to the point that the car is missing...

My launch control works great when the car runs though...

 

i'll have to think about it. is there anyone you would suggest that could do a better jbo for the same relative price?

 

just stick with the stock ecu do yourself a favor

 

wait till you get nitrous, THEN go tune it. I hate to tell you, but your car is stock, theres nothing major done that requires a tune. Now you can usually squeak a few more HP out of stock setups with tuning, but just replacing it with a "basemap" tuned chip isnt gonna help you.

 

its ok i know its basically stock. i just really wanted to launch control but oh well i do a pretty good job myself ahah

 

my phearable basemap wasnt bad. I got like 29 city mpg with a b16 and gsr cams. But now i am running a p30. I wouldn't get yours chipped though you don't need it.
