I was finsihing all of 4 gear at 6700rpm I went to shift and the gears are so close on my new MR , I went into 3rd but I sort of felt that so I didnt release the clutch much and I revved to 7500 so let off.

My question is I had an Integra Gsr and I lived in the redline, this being turbo is different, so how much can you play with the redline?

 

On a stock turbo, the Evo's more a midrange car than a high rpm car. Shift at about 7k or so.

 

but hitting passed 7k, how bad is it?

 

probably not to bad if you stay in the low 7000's, but not really with the risk with a stock turbo evo.

 

It should be fine if you don't do it too much, I did it couplel of times on my 03 and it's still goin strong.

 

Don't worry about it. I wouldn't do it every day, but the motor CAN take the occasional abuse of a mistake. I did a similar thing in a race and pushed to 7400rpms. No sweat.

Besides, if you modify your ECU with a flash, they reset the redline at 7250 or 7850 anyway.

 

isnt 7k a high rpm?

 

not for most 4 cylinders today

ive overrevved mine past 8500 before by shifting from 3rd to second on an upshift
(the engine sounds like a motorcycle at that rpm, its not a very enjoyable noise)

the car is perfectly fine

175- 180-180-185 compression at 40k

 

ill say to shift at 7k. thats when i shift on my evo and had no problems so far. as for 7k being high for 4 banger ill say no. for the reason that my rsx redline at 8200 and i heard that the s2000 goes to 9k.

 

Not really, I shift around 7500, since I make my peak power around 7k and it likes it up there.

I'm not talking about commuting here, I'm talking about the most fun you'll ever have in a car with your pants on.

 

Stock rev limiter on the 03's is 7600 RPM. Stock on the 04's apparently is 7750....

Just passing this info along...

 

I rev mine to 8,000 ( have a re-flash). Stock vavletrain and 22,000 miles.
