My buddy's got a 1998 Civic LX, which has a D16Y7 motor in it, and I have a 2000 Civic LX, with the same motor, a D16Y7. Both with auto trannys. When your in Park/Nuetral, theres some kind of rev limiter. His is at 5000 RPM, and mines at 4500 RPM. If we both have the same motor, how come his is higher up in the RPM's? I know its only 500 RPM, but still. Its nowhere near the redline, so redlining shouldnt be the problem. How come his is higer than mine? The only difference with the motors is that I have a short ram intake, and his is all stock. That shouldnt make a difference, should it?

 

The gauges in the Civics are not THAT accurate.

 

What the hell are you doing revving it that high in neutral anyway?

 

to show off of course

 

:chuckles: yep propbably, nothing more impressive then some automatic d16s

 

Don't knock the D16, it's reliable engine. It may not have the power capabilities of the B-series or H-series, but for those of us just starting out, it's all we have to work with. The auto tranny part is just an unfortunate problem many of us have(myself included).

 

I know full well what a D16 can do

The fact that its an auto is more then more then unfortanate problem, it is a brick wall to any real performance. Either way reving your motor for no fricking reason means your probably doing some pretty retarded crap, lets hope you and your friend pull your heads from each others asses

 

man, this guy is getting no help at all.......
anywayz.. stop rev-ing in neutral moron

 

Ok this thread is done
