Actually its easy as two 10mm bolts and a fedex box off to Hondata. I cant confirm but I do believe he can reflash his 08 which will give him an 8600 rpm redline, and better power throughout the curve.

 

Nope, you can't reflash the 08s, the reflash was made for a 2006 ecu and their was a revision honda made in early 07 MY that made the reflash not work anymore.

Rev limit is increased to 8500 with the Hondata.

 

Well if not hondata, I would have done it with Greddy eManage Ultimate.

Hondata is to lower the VTEC to 4000, tried it with the greddy and the ECU goes into limp mode below 5500

 

Hmm I didn't think you could raise the redline with the eManage.

 

if its a fuel cut rev limiter you can. I think the eManage just forces it to pump fuel into the engine. Either way, worth a shot. But... Id like to know when to shift after 8k without really having to count the blinks (cant really be doin that on the track now can I).

so... i dont suppose someone could pull up a wiring diagram for the peak power indicator? Basically, how it gets the RPM readings, and how I could potentially tap that wire. If its ECU I guess in screwed huh.

 

I am going to bet it's ECU controlled but that doesn't mean you couldn't tap into the cluster harness and isolate the connection for the light.

A Modifry Shift Beeper would make easier work of things because you'd be able to use his system of tach recognition and simply wire your dash light into the output of the beeper. Maybe even keep the audible beep and visual also. While you're at it, replace your peak power LED with a SUPER bright LED that'll be extra visible on the track.
