what can you rev a ls/vtec stock, is 8k to high for it. i was just wondering so i can set m yrev limit on mu ls/vtec im think to do 75k to be safe

 

without ARP rod bolts... not very high...

 

bone stock bottom end, not higher than it's original rev limit

 

Stock parts = stock revs

 

You wouldnt make power reving it to 8k so just stick with 7.5k

 

but its so much fun reving to 9200.

 

arp rod bolts are only $70 or less...if you are spending the money on the ls vtec...might as well spend that to rev higher. WITH arp bolts, my friend shifts at 8600 on his high compression ls vtec (all stock honda parts [rods, pistons]) he has taken it higher, but only accidently. Someone else i know had a built ls/vtec and was shifting at 9200, but there was an air bubble in one of the honda valve stems....and scored everything up pretty good. Dont rev higher than the factory parts were designed to. but the results are well worth spending a little more, depending on what your goals are.

 

and im betting that if you took your freinds cars onto the dyno they wernt making power that high, so all your doing is running the piss out of the motor

 

I rev to 8500 everyday, but I am fully built and run decently large cams too...

 

2 days ago when my friend was drivin my ek, he i guess wanted to show off to the chick next to us, so he takes off quick and revs first gear to past 8000 of my d16y8, all i saw was 8k on my SI gauge cluster and then it topped out :noes:
