this is just me having some fun one night

 

Fun with photoshop I hope.

 

whats that a down shift from 6th to 3rd? I beleive that @9500rmp the piston will hit the valves

 

What's 8700 RPM between friends. He's reflashed it'll take it.

 

New springs I hope.

 

u dont need springs, and its not hurting the motor, anything above 9500 yes

 

Dont factory K springs go around 8800?

 

They go high, I've accidently bounced my tach off 9 before... Accidents happen, but if that was on purpose... poor car.

 

shift light?

 

he has a reflash...i beleive thats 8700...shouldnt hurt it.

If you have the reflash you can go 2 8,600rpm going 2 9k i would never Do !

Factory tachs are not completely accurate in the upper rpms.

 

Isn't the shift light in the upper cluster there Seed?

To be honest, and to be safe, factory spring are good to about 8,500 rpm. Sure, if you exceed that once or twice, chances are you will be ok (as long on you don't exceed it too much like 10,000 on miss-shift). Bottom line, the engine is balanced to 10,000, the head is designed to 8,200 to 8,500. At least, this is what my mechanics tell me. I was also told that the Hondata reflash really pushes the tolerances of the springs and retainers.

Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk. If I decide to pump up my redline, springs and retainers will be the first step.

 

Man that thing looks buried. Even with the reflash i never take it that high maybe 8400 thats looks like it is pushing 9k

 

the stock 06+ Si valvetraine is good for 9k rpms because we have the same valvetraine as the new JDM type R....and last time i checked the new civic Type R went to 9k.

 

i have to admit that does look awesome

 

It would be more interested and impressive if the lights were blue

Looks like 8700 to me... What's wrong with that?

honda would not have made the stock redline what it is if the heads were not made to work well at that RPM. They know that people beat the ***** out of their motors and they are made to rev high. 8200-8500 everyday...your fine 9k is the farthest I would go on a stock head.
