Yesterday I went down to New York to visit a buddy of mine and he let me take his '00 SI out for a ride (which is 100% stock). I was driving and routinely braked by throwing it into neutral but hit the gas instead of the brake like an idiot. The car revved to about 8,000 RPM's and then straight back down. Keep in mind it's freezing here in the northeast. The car had been warmed up/driving for about 7-8 minutes...I didn't do anything to hurt the engine/car did I?

serious replies please...I know i'm an idiot for even doing this by mistake

 

You didn't hurt anything.

Pay more attention to your driving next time.

its stock and 8k is nothing. i once accidently went to 10k on my friends boosted b20 vtec w/ JUN ecu. if that was you then i would post this thread.

be careful next though.

 

your all good. just remember:

clutch = left
brake = middle
gas = right

be safe

 

Let the car warm up and then floor it in 2nd gear. If at about 5500rpm you hear the engine get louder, then the engine is broken.

nope its mad VTAAKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

 

No, the car will be fine. Don't do it on a regular basis though.

 

the b16 loves to rev..

 

8k is redline though right? so one time in neutral shouldn't be too damaging

Are you serious? THat is either the funniest or most idiotic statement I've heard today.

Honestly, that motor will be fine....stock ECU's have a fuel cut for a reason. They keep you from breaking things.

 

when I had my B16 I used to bounce it off of the rev limiter on a daily basis......I loved to beat that thing.

I feel bad for the guy I sold it to......some local ricer in Indiana, PA

I think anyone who sells a modded/swapped car has beat on it, you're not the only one.

 

where is the rev limiter on the B16A3 found in the Del Sol with OBD-1? I've never gone past 8200 rpm and just wanna know

 

if it is stock it has a rev limiter, and that is why its there.

it is part of the electronic control in the ECU

 

you can always get it chipped and burn out your rev limiter (contact Katman)

 

no rev limiter asks for over revving and damage

yea I would always keep my rev limiter on, get my car dynoed... and right when I start to lose power.... put it right there
