stock internals... what kinda rpm u guys turning.. .perfer turbo but whatever

 

ill start... 6800... im not brave

 

I once revved to 6800 when I did the money shift. Fortunately, I caught it in time.

Otherwise, I shift at 6100. There is no reason to rev it anymore.

 

I'm not reving yet, but I'm heard of people with h23 vtec's that rev much higher without problems... maybe for a stock h23 there's no point in reving higher then that, but I know it can hold it.

Oh it will hold it all right, but not for long..

 

not necessarily.... I've talked to a few guys that have reved to 7800 all day, and are still running strong... especially the turbo guys that need more rpms. I'll try and pull up the convo we had, and he can vouch with his personal experience.

? something here doesn't add up. Anyway I try to aviod going into the red too much, but after some experimenting at the track I found out that 1st and second enjoy are only good to 6.5k but third pulls hard to the limiter. shifting at like 7100 got me my best times.

U call that not brave...i shift at ~6-6200

 

i ran mine to 7200 with stock cams but motor not stock

with my new cams am trying to make power to 8grand

 

Stock H23A2, it (apparently) cuts at ~7200, i usually shift at 6500.

 

I usually shift around 66-6700rpmz

It's all fun and games until you spin a bearing.

 

6500 rpms, don't want to spin it too fast, would you like it if you were the engine?

 

I shift at like 6200-6300... after that it seems like the power levels out. I run faster times shifting around there than I do if I run it up higher.

 

94 H23

First Gear - shift at an indicated 7000 rpm on stock tach (it's actually about 6700rpm)
Second Gear through Fourth gear - shift at an indicated 6600 rpm

I hate how low the redline is on this engine

 

i have cams though.. i took it to 7800 once... preturbo... **** pulled like a ****** but im not gonna do that... until i build the motor at least

This *was* part of an H23VTEC. And yes that's my garage, not a pic I found on the 'net I think there was more wrong than just a simple overrev, but I am sure that's a significant part of what caused it.

 

Damn!

whatever the stock rev limiter is set at.

 

My spark cut off is at 7200.

 

ttt...

looking for someone to back me up, I can NOT remember who I talked to about this. It was a guy with an EG hatch, and a turbo h23 vtec
