what is it?

 

8k

 

wasnt it 9k redline??

 

Nope. 8,000 is the redline for b16a and b18c1. The b16b and b18c5 reline at 8,400. The S2000 redlines at 9,000.

 

i coulda swear it was 9k redline on a b16a2.

but not exactly sure....

so 8k redline

 

Yes, a b16a redlines at 8k...... I should know I used to do it everyday.

 

actually...stock is 8k...how ever..it can handle 8600 all day long..my best friend has an ECU with a modified rev limiter...and he does 8000+ all day long...however he is upgrading his springs and retainers due to his new Spoon cams...so he can take it to 9000+ if he wants to..:thumbup:

 

my fault, it is 8k redline, the s2k is 9k redline.

 

The redline is 8,000 rpm and the fuel cutoff is around 8300. The engine peaks power at around 7600-7800 so there's not much benefit above that. Watch raising your rev limiter without upgrading your valvetrain as you can float a valve and destroy your engine. Also, once the hp peaks, there is little benefit going past that point, so 8000-8300 is best. Seeya.

 

my first gen b16a redlines at 8200 i believe, not like the newer b16's.
