well, a shift into 2nd...from 3rd...at 7200 revs...sent me at my tach peg. this happened two times! ive been monitering the engine extensivly since this occurence and havnt seen any signs of spun bearing or bent valves...what do you guys think? think shes ok?..long live those d series vtecs man

ps..for those who will say that i suck at driving...this happened quite a long time ago when i first got my car...i am posting this now because i beleive if there were any damage, it would have surfaced by now.

 

i did the same to my old dohc zc and it survived, you would know if you did some damage.

 

How long ago did this happen?

If anything serious happened...you would have known.

 

how safe is it exactly to rev a stock d16a6?

 

i rev it to there all the time from 7 to 72. dont sweat it unless sumthing happened at the moment of later on in the day

i think he's talking about pegging the tach all the way to 8k. 8k is too high for a stock motor

 

it happened over a year ago...haha..but my motor just doesnt run right ..i dunno it runs rich i doubt it has anything to do with revving it real high...ok

but i need some tech guys to figure this out..i THINK i have the si trans..i was in 3rd and i shifted at 7200 revs into 2nd. what rpm would that put me at?

 

i wouldnt be able to bring it up to 8k if i wanted too. it stops at 72 and starts bouncing. ill blow it before if ever see the needle hit the 8. stock motor btw

 

7.5 k daily
