so i got my 00ek dx and it seams that the redlineis like at 5-6 or something, im not sure it dosent haave a RPM gauge, so when i rev it, bye the time the pedal touches the floor its already bout to redline. is it normal? does any one els have this too?
thanks

 

Shouldn't rev out that fast. Any CELs?

 

im not sure i barly got the car. so i wouldnt know what to do. what do u mean CELs?

 

cel means Check Engine Lights... Anyway, you should get a gauge cluster with a tachometer like a 96-00 civic, crv cluster, ctr, sir or edm cluster. Then you would know exactly where your redline is.

 

actually that does sound normal...

your redline is probably at 6800 and its more then likely if your in first gear when this happens

 

if you dont have a tach than how do you know your hitting redline? lol

 

how?
cause he's straight outta compton cracka.

 

You dont have to have a tach to hear redline..

 

This is in nuetral right? Doesn't sound that abnormal.

 

When revving it in neutral (or in gear with the clutch engaged) there's NO load what-so-ever on the engine, therefore it will rev up VERY fast, faster than it would in say .. a gear.

That may be why it sounds like it's revving up abnormally fast. Another reason could simply be you just expect it to top out later b/c it's a Honda and Hondas are known to have higher end RPM bands.

It may be psychological. Anywayz, the only real way to tell is to temporarily swap with one of ur friends, you have to have a friend w/ a 99/00 Si or EX....or if they made them, LX... That ****'ll just plug right up, plug it in, take it for a spin.

If there was any problems your CEL (<u>C</u>heck <u>E</u>ngine <u>L</u>ight) would be flashing or on 'n ****. Just in case it isn't working, does it flash when you start the car up? (diagnostics) Possible somebody coulda pulled the bulb or something, if it's doing its diagnostics at startup (flashes once or twice or stays on solid for a second, whatever) then it's probably fine. If you're really interested throw in a 99/00 cluster for a bit and see what happens....don't even need to bolt the SOB in, just push it into the dash and go for a drive.

 

hey mine too

so i got my si cluster. and i got the RPM readings how. it red lines at 5000 in neutral. is that normal? its in a 2000 ek DX auto

 

i got my si cluster and it redlines at 5.

 

free-revving a motor with no load, not good, free revving a motor with no load til REDLINE, THE WORSE THING YOU CAN DO TO A MOTOR, BESIDES MECHANICAL OVERREV.

F-ing tards, QUITE BEATING YOUR CAR, IT DID NOTHING WRONG.

 

if you floor it on a automatic, it seems to do that.

 

neutral bombs are too ghetto even for the motha f*ckin CPT

mang what u talkin bout. i only did that like once or twice. its in my blood line to rev a motor cuh im ghetto. and to see my red line. i gata show them *****s wussup with my motor. if tthem mark *** tricks wanna race ima hafta rev one time.

 

how is revving ur car hurting it?
i know for a fact that EVERYONE once in a while has the tendency to rev their car for kicks..


i understand if u go past the redline then yeah thats not good, but revving from 1000-5000 RPM range is just fun.

quit babying ur car, its not a ******* bitch...its a car.

 

revving w/out a load is WORSE than just pushing it to redline while racing.

if you do not know this, or understand how, i wont waste my time explaining it because you probably still wont understand.

That sounds like some **** you just made up. I've never heard of it being worse on a motor.

then you have no clue how an internal combustion motor works...

free revving with no load IS THE WORSE THING YOU CAN DO TO YOUR ENGINE BESIDES MECHANICAL OVER REVVING.

 

You keep saying this..... but have no support to back it up. Ive never heard of an engine getting messed up by reving it in neutral. Its not like you just sit there and bounce the damn thing off the limiter for like 5 minutes straight. You're just revving it a little. If it was sooo bad, then 99.99% of honda tech should be accused of ******* up their motor by reving it.

Post up some knowledge or GTFO!

you cant prove me wrong because i am not wrong. if you dont realize how this is bad for a motor then you have no right to even argue.

what is it called when you take the motor into the high rpm range then let off the gas, engine braking right??? why??? the engine wants to decel by nature, so when the air and fuel levels are lowered the revs will drop and the LOAD acts as a brake, slowing the motor. "engine braking"

now, do the same thing w/out a load. there is nothing to slow the motor at the peak of the stroke TDC, with no load, how do you think your rod bearings are going to like that??? same goes for BDC. now think about the crank, all that force without a LOAD to slow the motor.

i am sure you will still argue, and i could care less, i dont do it to my motor, and wouldnt advise it to anyone that cares.

 

Then if you say that, two step screws motors up. So you didnt really get anywhere with that. It does the same thing as revving, and there is no load on the engine. There have never been any articles to prove your point. I want facts. Im not saying you are wrong, I just want a professional opinion, and you have yet to give one.

Find me an article or something so that I can believe you.

Yep, sounds like just another theory by another **** guy that has no basis for the theory. Thats Honda-Tech for ya.
