7200 like whoa.

 

do you think you can go higher then that?

when does the car start to stop making power

 

Car stops making power before redline. Honda made the redline where they did for a reason.

 

when do you shift?

 

we does the vtec kick in on a p28
i have a dx car
with a d16z6 thats why i asking
no tach for me, yet

 

D16z6 redline: 7200

stops making power at about 6800,

vtec kicks in at about 4000

 

vtec at 4000
wow
my car hits vtec at 35 mph to 40 mpn in 1st gear

what? vtec at 35mph? I think your confused, 1st gear should run you to about 40. If it kicks on at 35mph your at about 6700-6800 rpms, somthings wrong with your motor.

 

thats why i asked b/c i m telling you it up there i will listen a little more tomorrow for it and watch the speed gauge.

but when i was playin earlier it was around 35

 

but i am still happy went from a 16.5 to a 15.7

plus i am about to burn a chip for it
i added about +1% timing and took out -1% of the fuel
should lean it up a bit for little more power
and i am setting the vtec at 4100 rpm
i m going to run 93oct.

my v-tec kicks in at about 5100 or so on my d16z6

another thing, is there a rev limiter or fuel cut off on this motor with stock computer?

 

i am guessing that it is around 7200
i have no tach to tell ya

well, i have accidentally reved almost near 8000, which is also y i broke rod bearings. but i dunno if its really 8000 cuz stock tachs tend to be off, so i was wondering if my stock tach is off and if the cut off is at 7200... my friend has a y8, and his redline is 6900, and rev limiter is at like 7000 or 7100, this is y im unsure.

 

Redline: 7200
Fuel Cut: 7600
VTEC: 4800-5200 depending on conditions

vtec at 4000? Ummm....no

 

yea 4000 would be a prayer to hit vtec that early, its 5200 on most applications and then when you add the hondata or apexi vafc, that is when you can adjust to about 4600.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

redline = 7200
VTEC Crossover = 4200 - 4800
VTEC engagement = 4800 - 5200
Fuel Cutoff = 7500
max torque = 5200
max HP = 6600

the y8 has fuel cut earlier than a z6, and yes the tachs can be off anywhere from 200 to maybe over 300 rpms from what ive heard.

 

someone told me that honda purposely made the tachs wrong on their cars so people wouldnt push th limits off the cars to much.
if it was off that much think about it, when u are idling at what appears to be 600-700 rpms (stock z6 = 670 +/- 50) it would really be 300 - 400. the car cant idle at that rpm. it would sputter and die.

 

i think you should leave the vtec x-over where its supposed to be, honda made it engage at that point for a reason. just my 2cents

 

i have a d16z6 w/skunk2 im and it sounds as if vtec kicks in at 5000 but what do i know.
