any ideas? might be picking this car up pretty soon, just wanted some input. ive had a few hondas but all factory b series

sounds like it was done well.... but theres no way to be sure when you are buying a used car. just look it over very closely, do a compression check, drive it, and hope its as good as it sounds/looks

Does anyone know how high i can rev this safely. Beware! I am a noob to hybrid b-series motors.I have mainly been a b16 fan over the years. Thanks

So I take it you purchased the car?

If so, have it dyno'd. You will see where you are making power and where you stop making it.

I have not purchased the car yet. Just want to make sure it will be somewhat reliable.
Dyno:

Seems to me the dyno sheet shows that it stops making power right around 7500...

Those are pretty respectable numbers.

mdpsEG

those numbers are really high! i have a similar set-up in my dc2 and im sure its not putting down those kind of numbers. i need to get a few more things am im going to take it to be dyno tuned.

i am a noob to this frankenstein motor thing too. i have had a couple b16a powered DAs back in the day, but thats it. i have been asking some questions on this forum and others, and most people are telling me that regularly exceeding 7000 rpms is not a good idea. however you are not the first person to show that a b20vtec can make power until 7500 or more. i have heard tales of lsvtecs and b20vtecs running up to 8k or even 8.5k for years on stock blocks but i have my doubts. i have a custom basemapped ecu for my set-up and my car runs real nice and smooth, and it has been a nice daily driver/gas saver for me this first month or so that i have owned it. mine pulls really hard until just after 7k. i have revved it to 8 a few times but shifting at 7.5 is just as fast and i feel better about it. maybe this will help you out

edit: just realized i didnt read close enough and this car your looking at is not a stock bottom end... oops! even still, theres no reason to rev past the power band
