what was your rev limit set at, on your crvtec before you decided to build the bottomend? what things did you do, to the engine in order to set the rev limit(i.e. springs and retainers, z10 girdle, better fuel pump, etc..)? any noticable side effects from the higher rev limit? TIA!

 

anyone!

 

i tach my motor 8200 rpms all day with stock b16a VTEC..they love it

 

I revved my completely stock bottomend jdm b20b to a rev limit of 8290 every day, all day.

My engine stopped making power @ 7400 & the only reason I went above that is to keep my momentum up in curves. @ the dragstrip I usually shifted @ 7700-7800 rpms as those were the best times I got w/ my car.

As far as building it up... build a streetable b20/vtec that makes power past 8200 & then you should worry about adding those parts you listed.

good piece of driving.
mine is in a 88 crx, full interior 2310lbs with in it!
no header, or cat back, all stock pipeing.
single cam short aem intake.
skunk2 intake manifold, fidanza flywheel, jdm y1 tranny.
yokohama intermidiates 15", worn probably 60-50% tread left!
chipped pr3:
2.3 60' mi best
14.46 1/4 no traction in first and second!
96-97 mph trap speeds!
my best 1/8 is 9.386 @ 76.99 mph 1/4 @ 14.47 @ 96.84mph!

 

i have a sock b20 in my hatch and i run low 13s

 

good for you, but that wasn't the question i posted! what have you done to your b20, what are you reving to?

 

on a B20VTEC would you say the Quaife helps alot? i am having trouble cracking 2.3 60's with my set up, on street tyres at 18psi...

best of 15.02 @ 93.8mph on almost stock setup (only mod = tuned cam gears)

i have tried launching from idle, its OK, but still cant get to 2.2's

maybe it is my crappy street tyres...

t..

PS i rev to about 7900 which is where the stock b16a cams start to feel restricted by my 2in exhaust...

 

An LSD helps w/ any application. Going straight (esp launching) & corners are far better w/ the LSD.

i missed that one, it sure makes a difference. i can't wait to get mine, but i still haven't decided what tranny to stick with. my 2.3 60' was with street tires, at about 28 to 30 psi! i wanna see how the car hooks up at the track, with the falken azenis i have up front! hey pest do you daily drive your car? how do you like the quaife lsd in a daily driver?

 

*pest* how long have you had the B20/vtec in your car? and have you had any problems w/ it?
