[dahveed]

..jdm catback?

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

today i went 6000 rpm for the first time so can you go pass the red line ?cuz ai am a beginner shiftting gears?

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

yea

[Razi]

wtf does the exhaust have to do with your redline?

lol...more air out = 2hp gain....

Wow. If you are asking these questions you shouldn't be driving a m/t car at all.

The engine was only designed to go to a certain rpm, the KA's limit is around 6500 rpm. By not shifting before then you will hit the rev limiter which does exactly what it was designed to do...limit the revs so people like you can't see how fast it will spin until it blows.

As for the transmission damage, high rpm isn't really going to damage the transmission, it's the shock you send through it via hitting the rev limiter that would do the most damage.

next time no one is around you and you are on a back road, hit the limiter in first gear just to see what it feels like and the jolts it is sending through your drivetrain. After that you will know not to do it again.

If your car was converted to m/t from a/t, then your ecu won't know what to limit the revs at, and yes then you can do severe damage to your engine from over revving it. Wherever it redlines is where it should hit the limiter, so if it doesn't hit it at redline stop revving it.

Finally, what business do you have revving your car until redline? I've only hit my limiter once, and it was because I was being stupid.

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

am just asking cuz i always shift early cuz am affraid of blow of my engine so idk why u get so mad i just want to know so that way i can prevent any damage to my engine and transmission

[93240cooool]

LOL

good laugh before i go to bed.

"Im looking to buy your [insert item], what brand is it?"

"That doesn't matter, its JDM"

[Chris28]

Haha I'm not mad, I was just explaining what might happen. I just always thought that it was kind of obvious that the higher rpm you run the greater the chances of something failing are.

Shift under 4000 rpm, there isn't really a reason to go higher than that.

[SirSilvia]

I beat the F*CK out of my auto transmission, it's like I'm trying to break something. I shift from 1 to 2 to D and back down as I'm approaching a stop. might go as high as 5k. If I blow my engine all the more excuse to get my as* in gear and do a swap finally. SOHC SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUCCKS!!!!!!I can still get to work, a short walk will do my ever fattening a** some good.

I say put it in neutral and punch the gas, and hope the rev limiter does it's job. and when you DO blow the engine, post the rest of it and your JDM catback in the classifieds. I could use some more 240 parts.

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

in ur dreams

[sebazztard]

what a s*** thread.

op just treat your car with some respect, shift when you are supposed to. street cars are not track cars, learn the difference.

The redline is just a suggestion. put that needle in the red son! jay kay

under normal driving conditions you shouldnt have to go any higher than 3500 to 4000 rpm at the most. but i guess it depends on what you wanna do. and how long you want your motor to last.

im a wreckless adolescent so I beat the piss out of my ka. my car sees redline about once a day and its still kickin

[SirSilvia]

its not a good idea to do it, but I have yet to here about a nice running KA break down, the shell usually rusts out long before the engine quits.
