Anyone else's Rev Limiter not kicking in...I can drive beyond my Redline...and not just by a bit...anyone know what's up?

 

What's a bit. I would not be surprised if you tach was off by 500 rpms. WHich means you could go up to 9000 rpms before you see fuel cut on your tach.

Got a VAFC?

 

It could be just a tach that is off. Can you rev till forever?

 

I haven't tried revving it "forever."

More or less, I was just wondering if anyone else has been able to go above and beyond the 8400 Redline, and by how much?

 

I have always wondered if my limiter is working to. When I run at the track my tach easily goes 8800. I'm tempted to see how far it goes, I have a full ignition setup and my idle is perfect. The ignition box I have doesn't have a rev limiter, I wonder if it canceled the factory 8600 limit.
I'm going to check in the spring when I dyno the car to see how accurate the tach is. I'm also thinking of grabbing a Proform Shiftlite, does anyone know if there any good? or just stick with the MSD?, Accuracy is a priority!

 

well, i'm glad i'm not the only one!

'98 also?

 

My indicated redline is 8000 (Civic Si) and fuel cut is at 8200. The stock tach is off by quite a bit, so I actually shift at an indicated 8500.

 

My 98' bounces @ 9,200RPM.

Opie loves bwadadaing all day long on his day's off!

 

bwadadaing lol, my stock tach is showing me around 9400 before i bounce, i've been thinking about getting both RPM tach and SPEEDOMETER tach in digital form

 

stack dash!
