Hey everyone... I just got a quick Q:
I have a 1999 civic si coupe with a d16y8...I just want to know if anyone with the same car can tell me what there RPM gauge reads... mine read up to 10 and redlines at 8. the reason why I ask is I just bought the car a while ago and the guy I bought it from put aftermarket gauges on and I want to know if they are proper.

yO

No that's wrong.. It's supposed to read up to 8 and start to redline at 7

J

actually it redlines at 6900

the only way to get it to rev past 7000 is to drive it up to 6500 in 4th gear then slam it down into first...vvvRRRRBBUZZZZZZZ...POP!!!!..

i want to be around when that happens...lol...i couldn't imagine the sound that would make

imported_gatherer

good but the speed limiters int he trany (or whatever they are called that stop you from "puuting" it into first at speed... are a pain .. therefore I suggest

a 5th gear doing 140 km/h or so .. slam to 2nd ... no speed limiters...

Make sure you have a video camera ready so you can show all of us that aren't man enough to try what it looks like!

fuel cuttoff in a d16y7 is around 7200... hit it a few times its not that bad

spracingsports

i took my y8 to 7000, didnt even dare to go any further

imported_BoOsTd

bah nothing will happen, the limiter is well below an unsafe rpm.

my buddy killed his h22 prelude by mis shifting and dumping it bakc into 3rd instead of 5th....boom, check engine light, and 1800 later and new valves and head later...lol

Brett

I've hit then rev limiting a few times with the D15 and the B16 doesn't do any damage, unless you dumb and do it regularily!!

Haha, I wish I had a video camera when I misshifted from 5th doin 120km/h down to 2nd gear, and released the clutch. That was the scariest thing ever, haha. Another stupid thing I've done before is choke out my engine, once in 1st making a left turn, and another time in third gear on the highway. Suprisingly my engine and tranny still run well and strong,

Chocking the engine. What the hell is that? Sorry for asking.

you own your car since new? was the ECU chipped? I've confirmed the gov'r speed, I'm sure it kicks in at 192 km/h

210 sounds like a chipped ECU

imported_Fr{}sT
