Probably has been tuned to reach the higher RPM - Different Cams perhaps

Reset the ECU rev limit to 9500rpm, uprate the cams, valves, springs and retainers to cope.

Folding down the rear seats can help raise the rev ltd to 9.5k rpm.....

It was probably a red one, they tend to be quicker

Spoon - think they have done an engine that revs to 11K, iirc.

Your gonna need an aftermarket ECU, cams springs and retainers, aftermarket cambelt, Ported, polished and skimmed head (dont need it but good to get it done anyway)

All this done on my B16A1 CRX VT revs to 10rpm now.

But dont really take it there, or dont feel the need to.
