Ive taken mine to 6300 pretty much everytime ive raced but my friend bounced the rpm around 7600 (i think) when he tried to race with it cuzz it had a bad clutch and he mis shifted....never let him race again..lol

I redlined twice with my old engine and bent some valves. If you think it's fun surpassing the 6300 rpm limit on your A20, wait until you put a "new" engine in. See how fun that will be.

I put it daily close to the redline... just before the rev limiter kicks in :)

i want like a few inches over the redline one time with my automatic. sometimes it dont shift when its supposed to. and it has no rev limiter. whoooooohoooo. its cool when ur friend is watching ur revs go over wut their supposed to.

recent was about 8,500.... I downshifted a bit too far and knocked it into 2nd. When I released the accelerator pedal... I probably went off the scale on my vacuum guage with the throttle closed, but I wasn't looking.



Valvoline vr1 or mobile 1 super syn 20w 50 is the only way to fly.

I just installed a K&N performance oil filter too... which is nice cause it doesn't let the oil drain back. My Oil PSI guage rises quicker... so I know I'm getting lubed at start up better then i was before.

How high does your bike redline? I like takin mine to about 13,000 RPMs :).

I dunno how high ive gone on the 3G. As far as an auto carbed 3g will let you go in d4. stupid automatic...

I wish i had a motor in my 3G that would wind out past 10K without imploding. Wouldnt that sound nice? Maybe i can pick up an F1 motor at a junk yard and do a motor swap. I'd kick everybodies ass!

RWD V8 honda revving out to 10K. Now THATS a mod!! :super: And to top it off, i'd RICE the F**K out of it just for humor sake. An F1 wing on the back of my couple would look pretty nice! Oh and cant forget the front wing as well!

haha i'm the pathetic one! i've only made it to 4500, but that's good for me! hehe maybe when i get a few more mods done i'll be willing to go higher, but i chicken out and get scared! (at least i'm honest so don't laugh too hard at me! ;) )

I've been up past 7k soem but it feels liek crap once you get into redline, all the power drops off and its bad for the car so there is no point.

Fuel injected models cut off at 6500 rpm. If it seemed as you hit higher rpms in a fuel injected model its because the tach isn't completely accurate.

:)

WHen I hit the rev limiter the tach is at about 7k. I have the original Honda repair manual that states fuel injected models cut fuel off at 6500 rpm to prevent engine damage.

The reason it seems as though everyones hitting 7k is because the tach is not extremely accurate.

Thats why you buy an autometer tach... :D
