damn.....so howfar can I rev my R, I've shifted at 8500 RPM, never brave enough to keep my foot in it past there. This is a stupid noob question but will it hurt if I keep my foot in it just to see where it cuts? I get really nervous when I'm up around 8500 RPM'S :shock:

 

No, it wont hurt to hit the limiter. just keep your foot in it and when it bounces look at the tach.

Of course, don't do that with traffic around you..

 

Is there a different cutoff when in neutral? Last week, at the track, I accidentally moved the shifter out of gear twice and bounced the rev limiter, but when I looked at the tach, it was 8000. Usually I rev as close to 8400 as possible, shifting around 8200-8300 rpm. Maybe the revs dropped quicker than I could look, but I'm definitely sure it revs past 8200 rpm when in gear.

 

ahah i know it feel like your engine going to explode ahha

 

Learn your R guy :lol: . R's are as far as I know the only DOHC VTEC's that can remain in VTEC after a shift. Meaning 1st ..bah..VTEC shift, rpm's drop, 2nd still VTECing. Other dohc's drop out of vtec and you have to wait a tick to get back to the BAHh. I know that made sense to someone :lol:
Long post short hold onto gears a lil longer! :wink:

 

Well I discovered my "cutoff" is just past 8500, I did it at a stop sign, then I ran it right to the cutoff for the first 3 gears, I think I was shifting at 8500, the one time I swore the tach was closer to 9k when I shifted. It is unreal how far the motor revs.

I know exactly what you are talking about..BAHHHHH :lol:

 

Comparing the Rev numbers from my VAFC show that the tach is about 200-250 revs higher at 80mph.
