Hey guys,

So today I was giving driving the car a bit hard....haven't in a while so I thought why not...

Came to a turn - floored it - second gear and I redlined and before I could change gear I hit the cut off and the rev automatically dropped.

Is hitting the cut off bad?

The car seems fine, but just wanted to be sure.

Cheers

 

as long as you dont just bounce on the rev limited for a few minutes straight your ok, its there to protect your engine. cuz technically you can take it all the way up to like 20K.

 

It's fine.

 

yeah I wouldn't worry unless you just held it there.

At least you know it works now!!

 

lol thanks guys...

yeah I felt the car kinda stall and went... ohhh kayy... lets slow down......then revved it hard again lol

 

MIVEC screams all the way to redline... that s fine !

I only want to see if it still works ! humm I should go to look if it still okay, BRB

 

Getts your attention when that happens huh

 

Mine ES does that too......it will go all the way close to 5K RPMs before shifting. Is that normal too???

bump for help

 

thers no problem with doing that , but when i was at the dyno i noticed power greatly decreases after 6.4k rpm. So if you're ever in a serious run (at the track of course) dont let it reach red line and shift before 6.5k rpm. Just my .02

 

All fuel injected cars do that. The fuel cutoff is there so u dont overrev your car and blow the $hit out of it. Nothing bad will happen unless you drive all day doing that.

The car is meant to run till 6500 rpms (redline) there is no need to rev past that unless you have replaced the internal valvetrain and have aftermarket camshaft.

 

I forgot to tell u guys that mine is AUTO so i can't shift when i want to. I will have to wait until stupid computer tells the tranny to shift.

 

i always thought that too. doesnt our cars reach max hp around 5500 rpm's or somthing like that? so ther really ther isnt much reason to wait all the way to redline right ?

 

yes peak is +/- 5250 to 5700 rpms any more you will se the drop

 

sweet information guys!

 

If you release the gas just a tid, the transmission will shift. It's a matter of parctice. The auto will never reach redline while in drive.
