First of all, let me clarify that the difference in power between shifting at 7k compared to 7.2k (supposedly the stock rev limiter for b18b1 engines) is not that great considering the controversial debate of when to shift (some say at 6.2-6.3k max hp, some say 7-7.2k).This is not my question here.My question is that by factory settings, are all b18b1 rev limiter set at 7.2k because a couple of times I hit rev limiter on accident but it was bouncing at 7k instead of 7.2k.I just want to know if some stock b18b1 owners have experience the same situation or is my rev limiter has been set lower or just different?Here are some things to consider:

97 Ls Integra SE (obdII A).Car was bought at 98k, mileage now sitting at 155k.Runs strong and fine.Idles perfectly at 750rpm. Not much has been replace;I don't fix what is not broken.I know it's been past 30k, but valves are not ticking so I don't need to adjust them considering I don't push my car often. Timing belt was redone at 119k because timing was off for some reason; new o2 and speed sensor replace also.Motor mounts replaced.Mostly run on 87 chevron gasoline and Mobil 1 5w-30 oil change every 5k.The only difference is that my car is running on a gsr harness.

Engine Mods:Intake and exhaust that's it
Suspension Mods:None
Other Mods:none, nothing that will affect the cars behavior or performance

Current problems:
-Check engine light is on for crank sensor.
-Transmission works but 1st gear synchros grind when transmission is warmed up.Tranny will be swap out a gsr tranny in the future.

 

Why are you taking your stock LS all the way to the fuel cutoff?

 

Lol. That's just bad right there.

Shift where redline is. 6800 or take it to 7000. Shifting to the fuel cutoff is just bad for your car.

 

I am not taking my car to fuel cut off not exactly...my question is why is my stock ls integra cutting off fuel at 7k when rev limiter hits at 7.2k according to stock factory settings.

 

Bwahhhpopopopop a wonderful sound of idiocy.

Is your car built to hold and maintain high RPMs...no.

So stop.

The fact of the matter is, your actual tach can be off by 100rpms sometimes.

Unless you get something that reads it out digitally, you'll never know your true engine speed.

 

again the question here is not when should i or should not shift.That I already know.The question is why my limiter kicking in at 7k instead of 7.2k according to stock factory settings.How can I even take my car up to 7k when my rev limiter is kicking in at 7k and not according to the factory setting of 7.2k?

 

thankyou now was that so hard to just give me a suggestion like that people.And no don't assume that I take my car up to the rev limiter because I am idiot.I commute daily to school during traffic hours so it's hard to merge into the highway, so sometimes I hit rev limiter on my gear because I can't always keep my eye my rpm and the incoming traffic at the same time.

 

The dude is looking for an answer, not what you think about him driving his car, if you don't have something constructive to post, don't, anyways my guess is what Rajin said, your tach might be off a lil bit.

 

Can't you tell by engine sound?

I'm a older member, most of these new guys couldn't even tell you what your fan relay looked like ILS.

Yes, most are off by 50-100 averagely.

 

Yes you can but just understand my situation daily that I have less than half a car to a car to merge in during these hours. As of oppose of coming down the ramp at third gear at 45-50 mph hour and not having enough power to accelerate to get into traffic, I keep my car in 2nd gear while merging just to avoid accidents so I'll have the acceleration power needed if something do happen.It's just for the safety aspect of it.If it is true that my tach is off by a couple hundred then I wouldn't bother posting up this topic in the first place.

 

Awesome, then start listening to me okay.

Go to your car and pull me your ECU number alright. I'll be able to tell you exactly the issue.

 

So your suggesting that I am not running the correct ecu?

 

No I'm suggesting you go look at it take a picture and show me.

Theres no telling these days when you get a Honda. They are so bastardized by kids now its pathetic.

 

hmmm that's true.I'm pretty sure the ecu is the correct one because I got the car from my uncle and he's not a tunner head.By the way, what is the ecu number for a stock obd2 A ls integra anways?

 

When your car goes brap brap brap. Shut it down and light it on fire.

Stock car...'stock shifts'...

 

I am looking for constructive criticism not immature sarcasm.I'll take it that you did not fully comprehend what I was looking for or have read what the posts before you have written.Let me break it down for you just in case you lack adequate English reading or comprehensive skills. LS INTEGRAS, BY FACTORY SETTINGS, HAVE THE REV LIMITER SET AT 7200 RPM. MY CAR DO NOT FOLLOW THAT APPLICATION. MY CAR'S REV LIMITER KICKS IN AT 7000 RPM WHEN IT IS SUPPOSE TO KICK IN AT 7200 RPM. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS TRYING TO ASK?Now the possible solutions offered is: My rpm reading could be off or something could be wrong with my ecu.I'm taking that into consideration and researching it.I'm going to test the rpm theory by swapping out my cluster with my friend's ls integra which is newer and more accurate in terms of rpm reading per say.

 

P75..

Or PR4. But PR4 is found in DAs.

 

Turn the bling in your teeth down.

I know what factory integra's Rev limiter is set at, thanks though. I was going to give you a few more options, but have fun wasting your time researching. Try not to let your rag get to you, you will only end up f**king yourself.

 

Wait, your crank sensor cel is on?

Oh boy. Yes, well crank speed if not determined correctly will be prematurely slown by the ECU to avoid exceeding stock mechanical limitations.

Like Josh was probably going to say.

 

Thanks but no thanks.Truth is your intention was to offer no help in the first place otherwise your first remark would have been smarter than your second one. No one understands your slang anyways and I don't equate myself my bombastic language. Good luck with your life. No education = no respect and you'll find that true where ever you go.

 

You have alot of run-on sentances.
Good luck with your car, you obviously have no sence of humour.

 

Look at my above post.

 

That makes perfect sense!Darn how come I didn't think of that lol?Crank sensor is use to the measure the speed of the flywheel and faulty one inhibits this mechanism.I'll get it fix right away thanks Rajin!!!I guess I was too busy looking at the big picture and forgot about the individual details.Problem solved forum closed!!!
