i dont like goin past 5500rpm as im sure you all know its peak power but check this guy out i found on youtube: also while i was just browsing around i saw this fiesta go off the clock, its in km/h but i presume they still finish at 140mph or 150mph: |

Going about 6k is fine as you drop when you change but past that its pointless, unless you own a C2

6850. Wom wom wom wom wom limiter. I revved my Si once to over 7000 accidentally when overtaking once. I might have just hit the limiter as I changed gear it jumped out of gear and into the other one without much effort Thrasing on the limiter all the time isn't so good though, but its got a limiter for a reason  Civics rev to like 8000-9000rpm? Mazda rx-7/8's rev to 9000rpm as well. |

I get a final little power kick just before 5000 then just after 5000 there is nothing else to gain so I change. Usually keep her below 4000 day to day tho

depends, a 1.6 i wouldn't bother past 5500rpm, 1.8 or 2.0 can rev to 7 with mods but it all depends on the engine really. My ST pulls to 7200rpm

My Si had a limiter on just over the 7500rpm line It's not a nice limiter  It doesn't bounce like a proper limiter. It's just like you've hit a brick wall

it's strange how limiters differ. If you want to drive mine properly it's the limiter or near damn it each time so that you constantly land in vtec mode. I aim to change around 9200 on the clocks, limiter kicks in at 9500 exactly, but the real limiter is at 8700 so that shows how far out they are. depends where the power bands are on the Si engines? |
