7,000 RPM To High????

[newjdmdriver]

Guys I was on the free was trying to race a eclipse and me being so dumb I down shifted into second gear while going like 75mph and my rpm's shot up to 7,000 till I poped it back to fourth. I slowed down and took it easy. But I was scared that I might have hurt my engine. what do you guys think???

[10thcb7]

only dsm can abuse their motors like that

[ExplodingCake]

what kind of engine are we talkin about? F22? H22?

[m-tec93accord]

you should be fine on a f22, think the stock rev limt is 7000(hold on, let me check.........................................yup, almost.....)

h22, think has 8200rpm so you had some more to push out....

[ExplodingCake]

puttin it to 7000rpm is pointless since it will stop making power after 5000 rpm. I don't recommend bringing the F22 to 7000 since it's way past the 6350 rpm redline.

but on the h22 , 7000 rpm is cake.

yeah my motor is a f22a1 with a aem short ram intake on it. the motor has 110,600 miles on it

yeah my motor is a f22a1 with a aem short ram intake on it. the motor has 110,600 miles on it

with such mileage , i wouldn't bring it to that rpm range.

[m-tec93accord]

yea, just dont be like rockin' over here, revving to over 10,000 or somthing like that, bottom end's not built for it, bearings will spin first....then who knows whats after that

btw: how DID rockin rev that high, dont he have a limiter??

[starchland]

you have nothing to worry about, just dont make it a common practice.

[m-tec93accord]

with such mileage , i wouldn't bring it to that rpm range.

mileage means nothing when the motor is well taken care of

[newjdmdriver]

yeah it was just that one time and i did it by mistake. I was just scared that I would mess up my motor

[cbseven]

now im not a know it all or anything but honda put a rev limit on there for a reason. theyt made these engines to stay togther at 200,000 miles if the motor stops making power at 5000 and when you shift you drop 1600 or 1700 rpm then i would take it all the way to 6600 to 6700 and wouldnt worry about a thing. as long as you keep your maintence up on oil and tranny fluid you will be ok. i do have a degree in automotive engeneering. i have been a honda fan for a two years. dont knw the ins and outs but am learning.

My F22a1 sounds nice, with 191k miles, but the crack in the header makes a not so nice ticking noise.

[NAiL05]

F22A6 had a rev limiter at 7k. I hit it once with a damn mis shift 1-2....But yea ive hit it a couple of times but I dont recommend it. I did it sometimes in first so it would be closer to powerband in second.

[almostJDM]

ive hit it once lol i was just driving normall and i was shifting from 3rd to 4th i shifted at 3500 and i accidently hit 2nd instead of 4th lol the rpms shot to 7k lol but it was only for a split second but then a few days later i revved it in neutral to 7k(i thought it was supposed to stop at 5-5500 or sonthin like that?)
