Few laps at Cadders in the 9...


short shifting due to thinking new shift light was the 8400 limit, was actually set at 8k.
 
How do you find the car drives with the new ECU to the old?
 
better for sure, think its more the mapping though. Dont think i NEEDED to spend £600 on an ecu but hey!

Was just about to ask the price. Wheres V-tec set at 5,000rpm?
Cadwells awesome, i would have come down but was to short notice for me when i got the call on Saturday saying a space was free.
 
Your ek9 looks like it goes well after the map :nice:

Is it a b16b or b18c? Reason I ask is the rev limit seems to be set quite low @ 8400rpm, is there a reason for that? My b16b really gets going after 8k

b16b
the rev limiter is the std 8400 rpm, but i thought my new shift light came on at 8400 so was revving just under it, but the LIGHT comes on at 8k, just found that out!

The car was still going well only being reved to 8k but at least you where still on vtec with the set point at 5k.

My tuner set my rev limit to 9k and he assured me that the engine can take it all day long with the b16b shorter stroke keeping piston speeds lower than the b18c, he also highlighted the fact that our engines make the most power right up the revs so to get the most out of them they can be reved that high

Did you choose to keep the limit at 8400rpm just to be safer?

yes will advised going to 9k can cause valve oscillation and damage...

you got a photo of the mount and how its set in the car?
I have a mount but can only use it with headrests that come out the seat with the metal rods. Obviously the recaros dont have this.
