You hit your rev limiter Drew? Nooooo, you're kiddingFast Asleep on Aug/20/02 said:Mine kicks in about 1-200 rpm after redline. Not the coolest thing to go looking for. Its a 99 GS-R

Oh my...please tell me I'm seeing things...It doesn't hurt? Do you know what happens when you hit the rev limiter/fuel cutoff??? We've been down this alley a lot of times...when you hit the rev limiter/fuel cutoff, you are creating a VERY LEAN situation on the engine. VERY bad...If you continously bounce off the rev limiter/fuel cutoff like it's a trampoline, it WILL result in SEVERE internal damage...gotsomerevs on Aug/20/02 said:it doesnt hurt your car to hit the rev governor, it keeps it from getting hurt
VTEC engages at 4400 RPM's in a GSR. Thats in the articles if you don't believe me. And no, your car cannot "rev happily" up to 9,000 RPM's. After 8100, it isn't so "happy."boec on Aug/20/02 said:My teg does not have a rev limiter- i can rev up to 10, 000 rpms if i want! Although i wouldn't dream of doing that with stock internals. Im from NZ and Honda NZ said Integra VTi-R's (same spec as US GSR's) can rev happily up to 9000 rpm. The reason i don't have a rev limiter is because i installed an after market ECU from Gizzmo technologies so maybe ur car ECU isn't factory spec?? When does ur VTEC kick in? If it kicks in at a different rev number than factory spec GSR's (5700 i think) then its deffinetly got an aftermarket ECU. My VTEC kicks in at 4700 with my new ECU.
If you downshift, you won't hit the rev limiter. Not sure if that is what you meant - but the rev limiter will not help with a wayward downshift.Fast Asleep on Aug/20/02 said:Believe it or not I've been in a few situations where I wasn't planning on shifting to second and the rpm's just shot up faster than I thought. It only happened once.![]()
BTW I spell "a couple times" like this ---> o-n-c-e
