b16a redline?!
 

just a quick question on what redline your b16a engine pulls. Mine is at 9000rpm running from a wolf 3d system...

RE: b16a redline?!
 

holy crap what do you have in there to make it make power till 9k?

RE: b16a redline?!
 

dont rev it to 9k. rev it no higher than about 8200. your power will start dropping off at about 76-7800 anyway.

RE: b16a redline?!
 

i dont seem to loose power till after 8500rmp. Maybe its because my car uses larger injectors...?

RE: b16a redline?!
 

no, it wont seem like youre losing much, but you are stressing the hell out of your valvesprings, and you will be faster if you shift at about 7800-8000. honestly, its more the intake manifold that holds you back than anything else. and i mean an intake manifold, not just a stock one. you wont keep making power over 8k without extensive work and/or ITBs.

RE: b16a redline?!
 

That is a high ass rev. That's more then injectors! Thats compression! Stock b16a reaches max power at about 7800 rpm.

RE: b16a redline?!
 

is that all you need is top end work to get into higher revs?

RE: b16a redline?!
 

Id be scared to do it that high :eek:

RE: b16a redline?!
 

on a b16a, a set of valvesprings will put you safe at about 8500, but without big cams/compression/ and a good intake manifold, you wont be gaining much power.

thanks for your input guys....
