D16z6 in my CX. No tach yet. Today, I revved pretty high, and the engine lost power/took me back down, as if I was about to shift gears. I'm on a VX ecu, I know the cut off is 7k. But damn, I don't think I went that high. Is this what happens when you redline?

 

Yes and it usually "bounces" off the redline when you stay up there. You need to get a Ex or Lx or Si manual/ auto cluster so you can see your RPM's. They are not entirely acurate but it works. I have a Ex auto cluster in my manual DX...works fine just looks a little goofy.

 

well even if you hit the vx rev limiter you didn't redline your motor... Z6's redline at 7200... they do start to lose power after 6800 or so. but you can rev it to 72-75.. not that you doing it any good but that's where the ex/si rev-limiter is set.

right, that's why i wasnt too too concerned, since i was running on the vx ecu. thanks for the help guys!!!

 

mine kinda sounds like vummmmvummmvummmmvummmvummm that's at a wopping 6k, oh yes if you havn't guessed it is the very ultra rare jdm cx motor

itlll keep bouncing, it sounds cool though, havn't had the pleasure of 7.2k ever, i guess you could say im a virgin, sooner or later someone will break me in

 

oh bad is it to hit the rev limiter ?

 

you need to get a 5inch monster tach , that **** well help ya out. personally i like the ex-si clusters get yourslef one of em.

 

5 in monster tach ex/si gauge cluster
nice oem finish


you know i don't know how bad it is to hit the rev limiter, i hit it every chance i get but at 6k it's not as hard as 7.2
