is there such a thing for manual transmission? I reved alittle high today, about 7000~8000 rpm and the car seems like it does not want to go that high and it was throttled at 8000rpm. Note that this is a b18b1. This of course was an accident but I want to know if it's the rev limiter that stopped the rpm from going any higher.

The car runs fine and all, no ticking or any weird stuff like those who've mis-shifted have described. I was in first gear and only in first gear when it happened.

if your still using the stock ecu, and you hit the rev limit, your motor is perfectly ok! I'm not exactly sure when the LS rev limit is, but i'm sure its somewhere where you revved to

another question, how come rev limiter does not help against mis-shifts?

Because, regardless of how the rev-limiter cuts power (e.g. spark, fuel, etc.), the momentum of the car being transferred through the transmission back to the engine will continue to spin the engine and all of its components at a particular RPM. In other words, if a shift to 2nd will result in 10,000 RPM at a particular road speed, the engine speed will indeed be at 10,000 RPM (assuming the clutch is out) even if the engine is receiving no fuel or spark.

cool, that made sense

thanks
