When i was driving on the track i noticed that i shifted past the redline..is that safe? Its suppose to fuel cut at redline right?

 

Yeah it is fine and no it will not fuel cut at read line.

 

I believe the Evo requires you to be passed redline for a set amount of time before it cuts fuel. If it happened once, don't sweat it. It's bad for the engine, but doing it once isn't going to destroy your engine unless you're really unlucky.

 

There are guys here that are revving 8k+, I remember someone saying they rev to 8800. Standard rev limit is 7606 (for the IX, I believe for the VIII too).

 

You should be fine, there was a video on here about a month or two ago where the guy was shifting at 10500rpms lol

 

You can adjust the fuel cut limit, but depending on your valve train modifications, stroke, and motor (built/stock block etc) your maximum safe rpm will differ. Even hitting fuel cut isn't necessarily damaging to the motor although its to be avoided. One of the turns on Summit Main requires me to run right up to redline (I could really use some more revs on turn 9!) so last month I hit the rev limit and fuel cut on one of my laps there.

 

Ok..well i shouldnt it do it then...i was thinking of shifting around 7500 on the dragstrip hoping that will help me lower my time..well for now all i got for mods are basic bolt on

 

Yeah I've seen a video of Sti, Evo, RX-7, and the 2 Evos were revving to 8k every time. And revving to 7500 doesn't always mean you'll run faster, if stock it most likely makes less power at 7500

 

you mean passed the red markings on your tach?

I regularly run mine up to 8k (and my fuel cut is at 8023)

 

Don't do it no need to push the car to higher rpm when you ain't really modded when it stops making power your jus risking a hefty repair bill..

 

I'd like to see this just for ****s and giggles lol

yea but that was built to do that.

 

Faawwwwkkkkinnn. Cheeeet. Batman!!!! Haha

 

LOFL. he shifts at "snow".



Reminds me of when i had a Ford explorer floored on the turnpike. It was pointed at "D" on the gear indicator. But it had a 85mph speedo...
