What should be upgraded to safely rev to 7700?

Valve springs/retainers?

Pistons & Rods?

Around how much will this cost?

 

retainers and valve springs definitely for the long term. everything else should be ok

you can get the ones that are used on the RSX-S/S2K for around 200 plus shipping, plus installation (which is kinduva pain). I can provide part #s if you want

or, what have some have done is pick up a used set of valve springs from an RSX-S that has upgraded to Toda kit

 

you'll need the oil squirters and better oil pump found in the a2 and a.

but why would you want to rev it so high? there's no point.

 

he's asking because 7700 is the rev limit on the Hondata reflash for EP3.

won't need oil squirters... but a few EP3 people have had problems with retainers breaking or a valve spring shifting out of place.

ouchy, I need to upgrade mine...I'm running a jrsc with that rev limit...what is the part number you mentioned above?

 

can the A3 even make decent torque that high? Wouldn't you need cams with a higher lift?

Regardless, a Type S head would definitely help the high end torque as the A3 has the econo-VTEC (same as the HX VTEC-E actually), and only on the intake. The Type S head has true VTEC on both intake and exhaust.

 

my torque and hp keeps climbing all the way to 7700, but then again, I have a jrsc on it.

 

losses power pass or around 7700, no point in going higher unless boosted or a built A3 which i doubt cause nothing can go in our engines.
