i took off from a redlight lastnight, and was shifting at about 7 grand..and when i went to shift into 3rd, i hit about 7 1/2 grand, and it felt like the car jolted a little bit...is this some kind of a rev limiter??
rev limiter???
- Thread starter got traction
- Start date
yes that is a rev limited i think its at 7500 rpm.Trubo97civic said:
or a fuel cut off. I dont know much about 96 up on rev limiters or fuel cut offs. ON my d16a6 with a pm6 it would bog at 7500 rpm that was the fuel cut off was set at.josh austin said:

you wanna be more careful...its there so you dont over rev your engine, buts not good for your engine to constantly be bouncing off the limiter..i really dont think that is true. Ive been to a honda dealer where i guy stuck a brick on the gas pedal. Car was in neutral. He went inside and poured a cup of coffee and talked to me and a friend because we had a dicussion about this. and about 30 minutes later when outside and pulled brick off car and took us for a ride car ran fine. The car was screaming and scaring the f**k out of me though. I was like wtf. He said eh went to some honda tech school and the guy had a integra gsr that they would do that to for the first day of school. Said people would be freaking out. The computer is your friend for stuff like that. If your just excelerating i think ur cool its when your at 7200 rpms in 5th gear and you down shift to 3rd is when s**t starts exploding on stock cars.2kstreetcivic said:
so with chipped ecu, like mine without a rev limiter, that would be bad also right? what's the point of getting your rev limiter x'd out other than to race, when it's bad for your motor.2kstreetcivic said:
i think i just answered my damn question...
you really need to build your motor to be able to handle mor rpm thats the whole point of removing the rev limiter. But dont remove the revlimiter on a stock engine. Thats just asking for trouble. Like i had money now i built my head. The head is good for over 10,000 rpms but he bottom end isnt. SO i just keep the revs at 8600 rpm which is stock.jokenfu21 said:
thats great but what have you done to the block itself to make it stronger for reving higher. The best advice would be use a program like uberdata or turboedit to tune your car wtih or even hondata. That way your making the must power for the rpm range that you can rev in. Revving high is cool but revving high and not making power is stupid.jokenfu21 said:
nothing for your red line unless you have also done the lifters, valve springs, retainers, and valves. Then like josh austin said, you have to do the bottom end too.jokenfu21 said:
Also keep in mind you might not make any power above 8,000 you have to pay attention to your powerband
My revlimiter is like 7100rpm or 7200rpm on my 00 EX.
i have no clue on when i need to shift on my car...i just shift around 6200. i also downshift to 2nd when i need to slow down to make a sharp turn,with the brake, but i never let go of the clutch. last thing i want is to blow something.
