driving a UK 94' Civic VTi (B16A2 as standard)
Hi,
What sort of RPM would you class as too much for an engine that manages an 8500rpm redline. The red begins at 8000rpm and peak power is at 7600rpm. Where would you recommend i shift for optimum performance while still being relatively kind to a car that must last a few years yet. It has done about 120000 miles. It still feels powerful and right on the mark. It willalso get an oil change every 3000 miles and i run STP additive with the engine oil. All the other components and fluids will also get changed when they are supposed to, it has recently been fully serviced with over a £1000 spent on it
suggestions ona goodrpm, i think 8000rpm?

are they still uber reliable with the odd VTEC usage at 8000-8500rpm?
