Anybody know of a cheap way to bump my rev limit.

I have a usdm 94 gsr.

I just want to raise my limiter a few hundred to compensate for new valvetrain and cams. But I don't want to spend a fortune.

I already have a vafc, and my naive self thought it might have a way to tweak revlimit nope.

chip that bitch. better fuel maps/ignition timing/slightly raised rev limiter


or go all out and get Motec or AEM Ems

 

Regarding the rev limit - Chip, I knew that was coming.

Regarding the fuel maps though, I thought I (or a professional) could tune the maps better on the vafc then a standard chip, but what do I know, I'm running stock maps on the vafc until I get on a dyno.

A hondata could tune a map far better then a VAFC..and it basically is a chip with a program.

 

just drop into 2nd gear at 85mph.... instant way to push that needle above the rev limiter

 

lol...

 

JR your going to grenade your motor.

You better buy some tools to fix it when you throw a rod.

FYI - I stopped at the place with the dyno today...65 bucks for a base line + 10 more for A/F. 10 bucks more then what they told me last time.

They had a nice turbo SI sitting in the lot, with an awesome looking equal length manifold.

The B20 is going to decimate you once I get your gears in.


And what did you do to your valve train besides a CTR intake cam yet to be installed?

 

I have yet to add valvesprings

Stock rods can handle it. I only want a few more hundred rpms.

Anybody else think it can't handle it?

USDM 94 B18c1, 128k miles
Stock bottom end
Top end will have ctr intake cam
98spec itr valve springs + retainers


I want to rev to 8500 (+400 from stock). Safe? Where is my danger zone?

The danger zone is anything over the stock redline with a stock bottom end...

I had a friend who's revved to 8400 RPM's on a stock bottomend and valvetrain for about a year, without any problems.

I'm revving to 8400 RPM's with stock bottomend and valvetrain for a month or so now, no problems but I rarely take it there, only once in a long while, I just can't bear the fact of the needle going so far into the red...lol, I'll do it more once I upgrade to ITR valvesprings or what not.


in regards to the original question, yeah, find someone that knows how to solder and has a de-soldering station avaliable along with someone who knows about honda ECU's and with someone who knows how to tune and have them chip your ECU, it'll be great if you could find one person who knows all of the three but the person who knows how to solder does not necessarily need to know anything about Honda ECU's or how to tune them, just let them know where to solder/de-solder...it's the same with the other two, one of the three people will also need a rom burner.
