Hi all back to this new to me ITA 88 CRX I have
During my drivers school I seem to remember that the car did not like anything over 7k RPM
So I thought I would ask
What kind of rev limit should an 88 CRX have?

I have a 1990 Civic Si. I shift at 7000rpm. Nothing over that. Besides I think the limiter is at 7100 or 7200 anyways. Besides spinning above 7000rpm is just putting stress on the engine. Your power band is right at 6500rpm. If you change your computer you can rev to whatever you want. But Im just running stock computer

I am trying to nail down what I was told and what the car really has
It’s supposed to have a Honda Data ECU
It was more like a loss of power
Maybe fuel starvation-- I will have to dig into this

Dave:
All of the motors I built for the 88-91 CRX's usually have a power band of 52-6800 rpm's so you might want to twist it up to 7000 to get the drop back into the high end of the range. But as Greg said anything over 7K is just slowing you down and beating up parts.
Yep, much over 7k is more noise than power...

when we had the "small" cam (~0.380" lift) in the FP civic (same D16A6 base) the powerband was still <7k - only with the BIG cam (closer to allowed lift) do we need to move the shift point up. stock cams should be even more conservative, so keep the stock rev limit - it's fine.
Thanks for the info I will back it down a little
