Re: Speed Limiter

That's because you're hitting about 7500 rpm which is when the ECU is programmed to shut off the injectors. There's nothing you can do about it except swap in an '86-'87 Integra ECU which will bring the rev limiter up to 8K. There are also chips available that will remove the rev limiter from the PG7 (Integra) ECU altogether.


P.S.

Dude, your'e gonna kill your motor! The rev limiter is there for a reason!

LOL, I'm not hitting my rev limiter, and I already have the 'teg ECU done. I just need to ditch the speed limiter because it'll stop accelerating at like 6 grand.

Re: Speed Limiter

I was unaware that CRX SI's had a speed limiter. This is the first time I've ever heard about it.

Please let us know what you find out.

Re: Speed Limiter

Oh, alright. Since my uncle's a head Honda mechanic at our local dealer and has been working there for I believe 22 years now I'll just have to ask him . I actually know the 2 previous owners of my car becuse of him. (the last one being my other uncle/his brother) So I guess I'll find out what I can and get back to ya'.
