2000 b16a AEM CAI, DC JDM 4-1, high flow 2.5" cat, 2.5" exhaust. In a 92 CX.

Question is, chipped p28 ECU goes to 9k, What should i shift at and not kill the engine? Like where will my power start to fall? I was thinkinking shift at 8k But I need some smart people to help me out.

and also 1/4 mile guesses for this new toy. I hear mid 14's wif good driver?????

 

if you have no valvetrain, i would not exceed 8200rpm, trust me.

 

What he said but why do you need someone to tell you when to shift? You should be able to feel when the power falls off. No one is going to be able to know with out driving your car when to you should shift.

 

The car is not done yet, will be monday. And no i don't need someone to tell me when to shift. I just remeber the engine in the old car pulled till 8200. and wanted to make sure that i was right on my original 8,000rpm shift point, so i can keep the shift light at the same rpm as before.

And i don't want to find out when the power falls off by destroying the engine. If it can't take above 8200 it is not going to get it. Trust me. prolly only see 8k. it is a daily driver and i have like $1,800 into the car(including the swap), That would be a waste to ruin all that money

You probably won't be making power up pass 8200 anyways so don't worry about destroying the engine. If you want some cheap insurance get itr outer and portflow inner valve springs. You can probably pick them up for under $200. I take my car up to 8500 and its still running strong and it too is my daily driver.

 

I'm thinking the same thing man. I just wanted to make sure I got some good info first. Thanks for the help. 8k shift it is.

 

Most stock cam'd B16s stop making power at about 7600-7800 rpm, so no need to shift past 8k.
