Default Any way of raising rev limit....

....without chipping or buying a standalone ECU?

all i want to do is raise the rev limit to use the mods i have to their full potential, the cheapest way possible.

i have the whole skunk2 valve train and the stage 1 cams. also have just bought a V-afc II and installed it, i have made VTEC engage at 6400rpm but then hits the limiter too quick....!

any cheap and cheerful ways to "de-restrict" the limiter?

cheers guys.

I don't think so. Those are your options. Or a piggyback instead of a full standalone should do it. But chipping it would probably be the cheapest route.

edit:
opps, beat me to it.

Gotta get your ecu chipped... A couple people here do it, or you can buy a prechipped ecu, but you will pay a lot for that.. I chip ecu's for $75 and that includes return shipping. I think if you can afford the valve train you can afford chipping :-p

it might be possable to trick the ecu into thinking the RPM's are 1000 lower, but that will REALLY mess up fuel, timing, idle, and everything else

Yeah, just pull the Fuse that says "REV LIMITER/DOME LIGHT" and that should do it. Its under your dash in the passenger side fuse box, behind the ECU next to the 3 purple wires and 1 green.
