rev limiter
 

ok now this may sound dumb but is banging off the rev limiter actually that bad. When i go to our local car meets thats all you hear is vrrooommmm bang bang bang bang bang bang. Would it blow up my jdm b16a and what is the rev limiter on the jdm b16a's?

well, it more like 2 bangs lol, and ya u would think its bad seeing as its puttin all that on the engine at redline a couple times cant be too good but thats what the limiter is ther for anyway

Why don't you just... oh, I don't know.. shift?

RE: rev limiter
 

i think the Rev Limiter is supposed to cut you off before you start to rev so high you're hurting your engine, so i dont think itd hurt too bad, but i wouldnt do it anyway alot ya know?

RE: rev limiter
 

cuz the drivers dont know ther cars and are inexperienced... plus i heard of a way to use your rev limiter to keep your tires from spinning after u shift and keep your turbo spooled up or something

RE: rev limiter
 

b/c everybody is just sitting and in neutral and just popping it off like this one kid jump in his rsx and it was cold and he puts it in reverse and just starts popping it off, but anyways does anyone know what the rev limiter is set at on a jdm b16a, im scared to find out lol

RE: rev limiter
 

um......cuz its sound mAd tYte yo?? Why else?? :D

RE: rev limiter
 

Probably about 500 or 1,000 rpm higher than redline. Try not to ever find out what it really is. That kid messing around in neutral and reverse is pretty stupid just trying to show off, it makes it even harder on the engine if he is doing it while the engine is cold.

ok thanks alot for everyones input, i was scared to try it and blow my motor

RE: rev limiter
 

just FYI, I don't think your supost to rev past 4k when the engine isn't under load. (in neutral)

lol...
