When u start my Si it goes to 2,000 rpms is that normal? And it has a whine from under the hood nothing bad just like a whine you can hear driving with no music is that normal as well?

 

Perfectly normal.

 

Happens to my car every time it sits for awhile and cools down.. It's really loud with a RH and an Exhaust..

 

I get about a 2K idle when cold and I do have that constant whine in my 06, I was going to ask if the whine was normal.

I owned lx and ex 1.8's but never had a 2.0 before, I don't think this will be my last si, next one will be new.

 

Ok I do have a skunk 2 exhaust. And mine sits slot. I have only put 1,800 miles on it in 7 months.

 

Since I asked one noobie question mind as well ask my other one. Whats a good rpm shift point? I am use to b series. I shift at 3 everytime. Is that a good point? And how much abuse can the k's take? I have hit vtec 4 times since I owned it. And way is 6th gear so short I sit at 65mph at like 2,900rpms!

 

shifting points are extremely opinionated but you will find that 3K for 1-5 is almost too low. 2.9K rpms @ 65 mph seems about right.

 

Better pick up one soon because it's looking like the '11s are the last of the Si's.

I didn't know that, I was going to buy a 10 but I couldn't get a break on one, and this 06 came along for less than half the price.

I was going to wait for the 12 car hoping for a bigger engine and leather seats, but I can do the seats on this one and add some power if I need it.

 

You have nothing to worry about... just keep on the maintenance schedule...

 

Stop spreading BS.

 

Good to know considering i'll be getting a 2011' si in the spring..

 

Shift point depends on your powerband. If you are stock or have just an intake, then I would shift a little higher than 3k, maybe 3300-3500 if you're trying to save gas and baby it. If you have more mods and flashpro and what not, i don't know what to tell you. Also, I'm not sure what u mean by how much abuse a k can take, but I wouldn't take any car's engine past redline. Also, you should shift these trannys properly because they are known to break down with people not knowing how to shift or mis-shifting, etc. 6th gear being short is normal because hondas don't have torque to be going 65mph at 2000rpm.
