yeah you guessed it..on the way to work this morning i was half asleep on the freeway and this mother F was riding my ***. So what do i do? I go to downshift into 4th and take off like a bat out of hell next thing i know im looking at my tach go beyond the redzone. I pushed the clutch back in the second i let it out but it revved so fast there was nothing i could do. Car still drives fine just scared the **** out of me.

Im posting this because im wondering if i could've screwed something up internally that i wouldnt immediately notice and if there would be any way to check on it. Im just worried for some reason. Like i said car drives fine no weird noises etc.

 

compression test. but if you pushed the clutch in before it went over redline your proly fine...especially if it still drives normal.

oh whoops im tired i missed it. yea compression check is your best bet.

 

what would normal compression be on an 05 type-s?

 

Hondata claims the motors can handle up to 9600 rpm, and I believe that our motors have s2k valve springs to handle high rpms... Not that I am saying what you did is something that can be done regularly, but if it feels fine then you should be fine... If you over reved the car bad then you would have bent the valves and you would notice that. If you wanna be safe then get a comp. test like others have stated.

Oh yea, I know what you mean about driving tired, I curbed one of my wheels going to work awhile ago!! I was pissed

 

Honestly if the car drives fine than ur proboblly fine but that wasnt the luck in my case. I blew the motor but luckliy i had 20 days left on my warrenty and smithtown acura covered it thay gave me a k20z1 IM EXTREMLY LUCKY THEY COVERED IT the whole job cost about 8g's

 

awesome. yeah i think im gonna get a compression test this weekend hopefully. I was searching clubrsx and they where talking about a dollar bill test. Fold it in half long ways and hold it up to your exhaust tip while the car is running and if it sucks in then you have a bent valve. Well i did that and it fluttered like CRAZY. So who knows what thats all about. Maybe somebody else who HASNT misshifted can try that and confirm. K20Z1 has s2k valve springs? damn.

anyways thanks for the replys fellas. My mind is a little more at ease. Even tho the car runs fine, im still paranoid about something being screwed up.

 

Im guessing you have a raised rev limit if you passed 8400k correct?

 

i did this too... i went to 8300 with a 03 S is that is there anything i should be worried about..?

 

rev limiter is useless if you misshift.

 

it was from 1st to second..

 

if you have bent valves im sure your CEL would come on i did the same thing too but fortunatly i pushed the clutch back in before it even hit red so good luck man

wait they covered this for free?? and gave you a fresh k20z1 lucky bastard not too many people rolling the Z motor in the 02-04

 

i doubt u did any damage at all... i mean i heard it takes almost 11000-12000 RPMs to damage these engines from temple of vtec....

8300? lol. You shouldn't hurt anything there. Hell the rev limiter is pretty set around there and I used to hit that all the time. You're fine.

 

I thought that only earlier model 02's had S2000 valve springs?

 

Compression test is great and all ... but a leak down test is what you need to do.

 

if the compression test checks out fine then i dont think its necessary to do a leakdown. Dunno tho the shop im gonna have do my compression test is charging 40 bucks. I dont have my own tools or anything to do it so i have no choice but to take it somewhere.

 

i doubt i did any damage either. Im just paranoid like a ****. I drive around with the windows down and no music now listening to the motor. The noises i hear where probably always there but the slightest noise freaks me out lol.

Man, I am the same way, and I have never taken my motor past 6K. I can only imagine how it feels.

You may benifit from a compression, leakdown, and oil pressure tests just to make sure everything checks out.

Next time, just take your foot off the gas and coast to decrease your speed when someone is behind you. It works every time. I have gotten a few people down to 20 in a 45 because I don't like people riding my tail.

They will go around.

 

FYI, 6th to 2nd @ 80mph would send the rpm to about 11,500rpm.

true story. consider yourself very lucky if nothing is broken. I'd take the valve cover apart to inspect all the roller bearings and the cam lobes. as well as a full compresion test/leakdown.

Bingo. like i said before it takes 11000-12000 RPMS to damage the engine... i highly doubt there is anything wrong with your engine.. I mean this is a honda quality vehicle..

 

you are 1 lucky guy
