ok my friends got a 93 accord lx and was revving it alot. he took it to 7000rpms once. i told him that was f-ing stupid and that he should quit. whats the deal with revving an engine while in park or neutral anyway? does it attract females from far away? anyway how do i convince him to stop doing this? (or atleast taking it to 7000)?

 

intimidation!

its nothing really, just show. but do it enuf time, ur gonna blow something. engine wasnt meant to rev that high.

 

Dont convince him to do anything if he wants to be stupid and blow his engine up then thats on him.

 

tell him that all the other accords take it to 8,000... and then film him blowing the engine

 

tell him to hold it as long as he can that gets everyone to come out of their houses to watch

 

puaHHAHA u guys are killing me LOL. haaha... "film him blowing the engine." LOL
haaha I have a SAME friend. Imma film him lol

 

Your friend is a retard

 

:werd:

 

It would take a VERY LONG TIME to actually hurt anything. THe redline on most engines are very consservative. More than anything, he'll reduce the spark plug life and on a hot day he could overheat the engine if he held it at 7000 while not moving for maybe 10 minutes. Iv'e seen a Toyota Camry engin with over 100,000 ,mlels on it run at redline wiht no coolant in it for almost 5 minutes before it seized up.

Most any sportbike motorcycle engine will last over 50,000 miles and bounce off 14,000 RPM limiters all the time. I've seen unmodified engines last over 20,000 miles when ONLY used at he racetrack.

But yes... it's VERY ANNOYING! and very childish unless you have a big V8, V10, V12 or something hgih performance worth listening to.

 

ok I have one question, if he has an accord with the f22 in I am guessing, last time i check redline starts at 6000rpms and his limiter should kick in around there. How in the hell is his shit reaching 7000rpms????
