My setup:
d16a6 w/d16y8 head. (found out the compression is 11.2:1)
msd-switch, vtec comes on at 4500rpm
d16z6 fuel pressure regulator
a6 intake manifold and exhaust, looking for y8 i/m
stock crx ecu
timing: 15 BTDC
Basically, I've been looking around the internet and every website tells me that the redline or fuel cut-off on the CRX is 7000rpm. And i haven't tried redlining until last nite, in second gear getting onto the freeway and to my surprise it seems like the fuel cut-off was like 6750... i tried again later in first gear and i got it up to maybe 6850. Is there something wrong? I don't know anyone else with a CRX so i'm counting on you guys.
My other question is... what is really the highest rpm you can safely rev the stock CRX? is it 6500 like on the tach? what about with my setup? stock d16y8 (96-00 civic EX) peak power is at 6600rpm so i figure i should rev a couple more hundred rpms past that.
Will the 88-89 integra ECU work plug in? i heard it has better fuel and ignition curves/maps.... and ups the redline to 7500... but i want to know what's safe to rev up to.
Will getting a V-AFC remove my rpm-limiter?
also i'd appreciate your opinions and suggestions... (besides doing a motor swap)
