..... do you want to make your car redline higher? ... or make it so it doesn't redline at all?...
if you want the latter, just buy a carburetor, and while ur at it... pick up some "HP" over at pepboys

Basically you posted in the wrong forum.....and tegbooster is angry because its a waste of time for your 91....there is no reason for you too increase your redline...your car has as much horsepower as a riding mower lol.

Still here... sorta...
This has what to do with an Integra?
The fuel cut at redline is there for a reason. You won't get anything out of changing it except a better possiblity of blowing your motor unless the engine has been built to do so...

1- on a stock engine, you're not going to be making any power up there.
2- it saves you from blowing the engine up.
since you don't already know this, i suggest you read up on how engines work, before attempting a single mod.

Think about it.
Red is bad. Red traffic lights, red stop signs, red brake lights, etc. When you see red, stop.
Redline is the same. Don't hit redline or risk serious engine damage over time. If you eliminate the rev limiter/fuel cut on any car not built for it, you are begging to blow your engine.
