Default reliability...

I have a B16A2, there is much modification on the level cylinder head but the block is stock. I have a ECU with the interrupter to move with 9200rpm, I risk problems of reliability with my block stock or I must make balance my parts?

You dont have to balance your parts but it is recommended. But 9200 should have nothing to do with the block. revving to 9200 has to do with the springs, valves,retainers and cams. They say the a2 springs are good to rev to around 8700 rpms. I would not suggest you revving your motor to 9200 rpms without some head work. P.S. Dont rev the motor that high if your not making hp past 8500 rpms. I would highly consider doing some head work before revving that high, if thats the question your asking.

Umm.....so you have ctr cams...type R valve springs...tumbler type R springs?? How many springs? Do you mean inner and outer springs? That should be fine for about 9000 rpms but if i were you i would get Ferrea valves,springs and retainers with new cams and cam gears.

I have same the valve springs that the ITR (P73) I suppose that they are doubles, as I receive them in a few day I cannot certify to you. As regards ferrea i have more confidence in the interns products jdm

Hate to get on your back but 1, learn to type so people can read it. All the **** you typed is cluttered. 2.....Ferrea springs were meant to rev to 11,000rpms and are much stronger than any oem springs. Itr springs are good for about 9000rpms where as ferrea springs are good for 10-11000rpms and will not bind. ITR springs can possibly bind and they are good for 9000 or 9500 but for how long, whereas ive talked to people who have had their ferrea springs for a year with no problems.

is not necessary to be annoyed, to afflict if I hurt myself to include/understand but I use an English/French translator because my English is not very good. Then me I said to you that my ECU were with 9200rpm and not to 11000! thus the oem make surely the good bargain.

without resentment

That translator sucks mad dick man. Its doesnt matter if the ecu was cutting out at 15000 rpms....but going to 9200 in those springs/valves/retianers should be ok. Just make sure like once a year you go reseat the valves and make sure the springs are still ok.

^^^^ THAT right there was perfectly said...lol...oh well, dont get to crazy revving your engine. hondas are meant for revving but they arnt meant to take crazy beatings. Be careful and have fun.

P.S. My bro has revved his stock b16a1 head to 9000 about 100 times and his ride is still fine. He only goes to 8500 now.
