Last night I was boosting in 2nd and watching the road and hit rev-limiter for like a quarter of a second. Nothing immediate was done, but I was wondering if there could be any damage?? The car sounds like its running fine-- no smoke or anything, but for future reference could there be any problems?? I'm also only pushing 6psi.

Don't do it again .

If your car is fine now don't stress.

I never understood why hitting the rev limiter was bad for FI. I understand that it cuts fuel which causes a tempoary lean condition but wouldnt this be bad in all applications - NA and FI?

Is an ignition cut a better rev limiter?

i hit my rev limiter a 9 grand on my b20b vtec turbo last week and it blew up.. .. this is the one and only that has done it to me... i think it only blew becuase of the b20 cylinder wall.... Sucks

usually a b20 crank isnt meant to spin 9000.....

I have hit my rev limiter more times than I can remember and the car is fine. 70,000 boosted miles and not a lick of problems!!
