I updated the software on my t5 ecu to OBD2, its a 16MHz bin and a 16mhz ecu - I did this because adaption is way better with OBD2 and t5 has the ability to adapt fuel and ignition timing...

Re: redline for the stock 8v 900 heads

Sorry I designated 2.3 cos I am used to people getting confused between early 9k head same as on 2.1 c900 and trionic head. I realise t5 head is easiest way to designate lol. Yeah I was asking about my stock 8v head. But I'm going to go to t5 head. Think a fried has a spare I might buy or trade. Won...

Re: redline for the stock 8v 900 heads

Re: redline for the stock 8v 900 heads

thanks jordan

in reality I think if the 8v head came off the money would be spent on going to a 2.3 head

but I wanted to know. the 8v head really produces a different car, 16vs are very smooth in comparison .. the 8v feels a bit raw
