Till what rpm are you revving your 5th gens and what will happen if you rev it too high? Just curious about it because somebody told me that I can rev it close to 8.000 rpm sometimes without damaging anything.
Will I feel the difference when anything got damaged because of that?
Sorry for my english (I´m from germany!) and thanx a lot in advance!

 

vie gehts.... if u rev too much the needle will just bounce at the redline point. dont do it too much tho.. u could **** **** up.... ich bin von ostereich...

 

some say that our ludes tachometer has some error in it. that is, it could be like 200rpms off. thus, if yer revving at 5200rpm, u may actually be revving at 5000.
thus, if u 'redline it' at 8000rpm, u may only be at 7800rpms.
4th gens peak power happen at 6800 versus 5th gens (7200~7400)... thus, u can beat on the 5th more etc. 8K is not detrimental, but wouldn't do it too many times.
for my 4th gen, i usually let off or change gears when i hit 7600-7700 rpm ( indicated).

 

Rev it into the red!! the car has a rev limitter to keep U from going to high in the rpm. If your drag racing and U shift into 2nd gear and your not still in VTEC after the shift U shifted to soon, take it into the red a bit then shift
