Ive searched and didnt find what i was looking for.

With cams and aftermarket valve train including valves, an otherwise stock head, and a balanced and built block, what would i be able to raise it to safely? Stock intake mani and throttle, FI with 20g turbine.

Thanks

 

7500 is avg.

7800-8200 if u wana get ballsy but at that point i would seriously consider upgrading that 20g denny

 

How do you actually raise your rev limit!!

 

with engine management

 

sciongt35r is reving his tc to 8,200rpm, fullybuilt engine on stock cams.

Ok this might sound completely stupid but are you talking about a piggyback or a standalone, and also does it have to be a built motor or can it be a stock motor... Sorry for my inexperience! Thanks

 

i think 7500 is good. can imagine going to 8200... lol

 

Raising the stock rev. limiter on a stock or bolt on motor won't do sh*t fyi

 

yea actually it will slow you down a little if you do it on a stock motor cuz your shift point will change and it will take you longer to get to the redline and your powerband would stil be in the same spot...I think thats how it works

 

Raising rev limit to 7500 is just fine if your turbo is big enough to support power that high up and you build the head/block accordingly. Do a bit of searching on the forums because I think a few people have already done things like this. The search function on this forum is kinda wacky so it might take a few threads to sift through before you find what you need.

BTW, you'll need a standalone to do this the right way.

 

Raising the Rev limit on a engine will improve power, on the high side. For example from my latest dyno sheet look at my HP line (line not curve.. beauty of a S/C!!!)

If I raise my rev limit to 7500 instead of stock 6200, I could probably push another 10-15hp



With fine tuning you can produce more power at a higher RPM... but you have to overcome the negatives of higher RPM... engine stabilization is one, timing is another... also you will have to deal with improved airflow. The biggest reason our car limits at 6200rpm is that it can not pull in enough air to maintain a stable AFR. A bigger/higher flow intake is needed, port and polish in the intake valves etc. Or you could just get some Dezod refined engine work, http://www.dezod.com/cat-perf_engines.cfm

 

The red line is torque. I think you mean you could gain 10-15hp with a higher rev limiter.

 

Dislexia it's not, I swear....

(fixed the post)

 

you will be fine at 7500 im sure you can even do 7800 and be fine with a built motor. i used to own a 06 tsx that had a 2.4 with a stroke of 99mm and when i got a k-pro installed and tuned i was able to do 7700 all day on a stock motor.(just for comparison)

 

^^^ also i when i traded it in it had 74000 miles on it and the k-pro was installed at 19k

 

honda motors are not comparable to ours. they're built to rev to the moon.

 

I'm pretty sure a built tc motor could rev as high as 7800 all day, just might need a better oil pump(but haven't heard any problems so far).

 

isnt rhythmnsmoke on stock motor reving up to 7500-7800? im pretty sure he is

 

only reason honda motors rev higher is cause they have a smaller displacement..it would be a whole nother story if tc's had 1.8l motor or a 2.2

 

My tsx did have a big displacement, it was a 2.4 with a longer stroke
