Default revving limitations

i have a c5 w/o a rev limiter and it scares me that i can go well over my limit in the motor and i dont want that to happen ...i kno the red line of a c5 is 8900rpms But ive herd c5's can rev way past that on stock internals no probplem ... i just want to make sure i dont rev it past its limits and mess up my engine...

so what is the highest i can rev my engine on stock internals

I have stock internals and my rev limit is set to 9k. Your not really going to make power up there unless you have different cams though.

What ECU do you have that gives you "no rev limit"? I don't believe it. There is a rev limit there, somewhere.

Redline is 8400. Fuel cuts off at 8600 but the tach will show 8800+. The tach lies.

Just for reference Chris, most people know "front quarter panels" as fenders



You have to have a rev limiter of some sort

Honda put the limiter where its at for a reason. Sure rev up to 11 grand, your car will actually be slower..

RPM - Ruins Perfect Motors

I've heard that revving to 9,000RPM on stock B18C5s is safe, but is flirting with pointless, as you're not making much power that deep.

I say just keep it stock rev limiter until you get a nice head package.

He said that he doesn't have a rev limiter... I'm guessing he's converted to OBDI with a tune of somekind.

It's a valid name for that piece of the body.

I think "Fender" is only an American term.

Guess my dad called them Quarter Panels, and therefore, so do I..

Fender is an American term... Growing up, I always called them Kookamongers.
