Should be...

 

Does it seem any different than it used to be? Im pretty sure the GSR can handle 9k once in a blue moon.

 

should be fine but you never now...aslong as you don't do it all the time...

Its my first time. damn that was the longest 15secs of my life.</TD></TR></TABLE>

15 secs?

 

15seconds?..you mean the entire situation with your downshift..or 15 seconds of worrying after you did it?.cause if you had a led foot for 15 seconds with the gas pedal down and the rpms to 9000...then you must have a horrible reaction time and shouldnt be driving in the first place..people will flame..so edit your shiznit or clarify your post..

 

you should still be ok.

 

Should be ok. But a suggestion since you have a p28, why don't you set fuel cut off/redline to a specified level so you don't do it again .

 

ahh itll be fine!!! if my d16y7 can be ragged out to 7500 rpms your b18 will make it LOL....d16 is 2 inchex from death but still running strong!!!

 

ive done 9000 to 9300 im my gsr... ull be fine

 

I wouldn't worry ive done 9600-9700 in my stock b16 several times. and the gsr is stronger.

 

yeh thats true but 600-700 rpms is alot the gsr has alot stonger bottom end if your motor is running fine and theirs no odd noises when why worry?

 

The general rule is that if it didn't already go pop right there and then... you'll be alright. The standard valvetrain in my experience can easily withstand 9000rpm every so often.

 

I went from about 70 in 5th to 2nd insted of 4th trying to pass, i floored it and felt like i hit the brakes insted of the gas, the tach pegged, no problems with it.

 

If your motor still runs, your fine.

Yup, the main risk of doing that is floating a valve, you'll know immediately if that happens.

Exactly, it should be able to handle it if you don't beat on it daily. As long as you drive it well and keep it well maintained, you should be fine. Does anything sound/feel/drive different?

 

Psshht, my friend was shiftin from 3rd gear at 8k and mis0shifted to 2nd, it went waaaaayyyyy past the 9500 rpm where teh red stops. Probably 11k or more. His motor is fine.

this is called a mechanical overrev.

there is NO protection against it.

the wheels are driving the engine. not the throttle.

 

i mishifted before in my b7 dx motor, and went to 8,200 or so, and its fine. bone stock dx. so 9k on a gsr should be ok
