So i just got my new engine in my car, its a 2nd gen b16a sir2.Mods are Rlz p&p stage 2 head which brad said he went kinda crazy on it , rocket gen 2 OUTER only valve springs(no inner springs, brad from rlz said he shifts his race car at 10,500rpm with just the outer springs.)Aebs intake manifold hand p&p, hondata IM gasket, 98 u.s. spec ITR cams, CAI and Exhaust.Now my question is how far can i push that bottom end, i have a friend that had almost the same setup on a sir2 and he reved his to 9200 all day.The problem i have is with all that headwork my car hates vtec anywhere under 6k, i have vtec set at 6100 and it feels awsome , anywhere under that and it bogs when vtec hits, so this is fine shifting at the stock 8400 until i hit thrid gear because then it falls back down to 5700 and bogs there so i would like to take it to 9200 if needed. Keep in mind this thing still has the stock shitty-*** b16 exhaust manifold that i dremeled out.So how far has anyone seen someone take a stock bottom-end 2nd gen b16???

 

A friend of mine has a 94 del sol VTEC, skunk2 valve train, zex stage 2 cams, stock bottom end B16A3.

with a modified tune i set him up with, he revs the car to an occasional 9800 rpm. It doesnt make power nearly that high, but it sure helps with the gearing

 

dope...hurry up and get it dynoed...

+1 Sounds like a good idea

 

True, i really need to get a header before i tune it , i can feel that the header is holding me back, plus vtec is SO loud , that usually means something is retrictive in the exhaust manifold.
