you're fine , just don't make it a habit..that's not an overrev anyway

 

Oh, you're screwed now.



































j/k That's why it's there. No harm done.

 

No harm done, thats what a rpm limiter is for.

 

Expect major engine failure within 3 days... you just made a $5k mistake!


































hahahaha j/k

 

That's not funny! Seriously, to all the people who think that there's no harm in hitting the rev limiter just once, I've got a story to prove you wrong with my last S...
























ahhh no i dont. lol

 

you might wanna search too next time. in fact this exact topic was posted like yesterday. there are TONS of topics on this.

no, you didn't hurt anything.

 

I agree, once you experience the excitement of unabashed vtec, normal driving becomes boring. Honda designed the rev-limiter to ensure that drivers like you, me and the rest of us won't harm the engine by pushing on the gas pedal. Keep in mind that you can over-rev your engine by shifting from 5th to 3rd at redline, and, if you do, it will likely be catastrophic. Drive safely, enjoy vtec and remember if you run at redline, make certain that you select the correct gears.

 

appreciate it everyone!!! haha all of yall gave me a good laugh for the night! Thanks for everything!

You should be fine as long as you didn't downshift and have that cause you to over-rev or hit the revlimiter. So now you can relax and go have some fun!
