Default After market rev limiter onto B16A1 OBD0?

Weird question and i know what the answer will be but here goes lol.

My 91' CRX B16A1 has has the chipped and for some mad reason a previous owner has taken the limiter off.
It has a limiter when the car is not moving but on the go there's nothing. i found this out the hard way on a very rainy day on a corner on a hill when the car started to spin and i wasn't watching the revs so it went off the clock and broke the bottom end the piston at the guggon pin, broke one valve and bent afew while also getting metal into every cylinder and wrecking the combustion chamber for each cylinder.

But enough of that .....

The guy that does my mapping is a hard man to get to start work so this is my idea until such times as he starts so please don't suggest getting it mapped again. He does mine for free and also maps my BMW's too for free lol.

Is it possible to fit an after market rev limiter to an OBD0 B16A1?

You can run a MSD 6AL box. The box will either let you insert RPM pills or the newer boxes have a dial indicator for you to set what RPM you want as a rev limiter.

Find a new tuner.

Or get a basemap from one of the many tuners on here.

Thanks for both replies lads.

I'll have to look into the MSD unit and see whats what.

As for finding a new turner, don't think i'll find another that'll do it for free, even if it takes awhile lol.
The whole mapping game isn't my strong point at the moment, i'm just learning the basics so far. Wouldn't even know about putting a base map onto it lol

PM one of the MANY reputable tuners on here. Most will be able to make you a decent basemap if you give them all the info on your build. Then they can put it on a chip and mail it to you. Probably for $50 or less.
