8200...thats my redline. Depending on your mods it may be slightly higher (as you stated)

 

8200 nis fuel cut off 8000 is redline

 

8,000 redline
you can push it to 8,200 if you want

8,500..i wouldnt do that too often

 

the redline is 8100

 

yep the RED is 8k, hitting 8500 is just putting added stress to the motor.

 

Mine is 8200 but I shift at 7900 or 8000 in a race (on the track of course

 

8,350, how? i dont know, all i got is headers and a muffler, and ummm, i hit 100 yea by the end of third gear going to 4th, so no its not ABNORMAL or anything, maybe ur friend just didnt know how to drive his GSR

 

you answer lies in this article

FWIW, 8100 is the redline. 8200 is the fuel cut.

 

cmon guys.. look at the article its 8100

 

all these years of information on a gsr and people still dont know the redline?

 

So how much stress is actually being put on the internals, when shifting at 8500, now that we've established the the redline is suppost to be 8100.

 

all these years of information on a gsr and people still dont know the redline?

Why even post something like this, do you think it makes you look intelligent?

 

when I glance at my redline it states right around 8g , but I did goto acura of brookfield and one specialist there told me that to go over that once in a GREAT while is not really going to mess up the motor. ( he said " theres a reason why it is that high, and then he added when you break in a motor make sure you push it the way it was ment to , not all at once, just ease into it.) But in all honesty for me is that once I do hit 8g and then switch gears, I'm always in vtec so I really never push it more then 8. I like to be safe when it comes to my motor.

acura told me it was 8k too and i still have the orig book i got from them when i bought the car. It is listed at 8K in there too. I think people just assume its 8k since the line on the 8 on the gauge is white not red.

 

you guys in your GSRs.......mine is 8500 but i got it to 9k.....but its an R

 

Just because you can use the engines momentum to go higher doesnt mean the redline is higher. You can get the engine to spin faster than the fuel cut is, just from the momentum.

ITS BAD, dont do it. Wear in in engine is an exponential function of RPM. What that means is 1000-2000 rpms, minimal difference in wear. 8000-9000 rpms - HUGE difference in wear of internals.

RPM stands for RUINS PEOPLES MOTORS. It has and always will. The longer you're in the red, the shorter the motor will last.

 

What's a redline?
