Swell65, there apparently is some variance between what the tach reads and what the engine is actually reving. I believe the tach reads a little high.

 

Thanks! Does using one void the warranty or anything? It sounds like that might make it easier to blow the engine? Although, I guess that unless you mis-shifted, which would damage the engine under certain circumstances anyway, you're not going to make it overrev. Am I understanding that right? Does anyone even understand what i'm saying? Whatever. Thanks for your help!!

the tach in this car's pretty slow, if I was keeping it I'd definetley install a shift light and rpm module...

 

Just to clarify...I wasn't complaining about it cutting out at 9000...I was just surprised because I thought it was everyone's understanding that it was 9200 and it's not... I just wanted to point it out. But yes the tach is wayyyyyyyy off...It hit's 9000 and then the tach flashes red for like 1 second and then it hits the limiter...you would think I was at like 9500 or something... Guess it's just off by that much...I don't shift using the tach on the dash anymore...I just use the one on the VAFC.

 

Dude, I have the APEXi Rev Speed Meter
I hit 9200RPM+ consitently...
max was 9233RPM if i recall!

 

Honda tachs are notorious for being a little off. It was the same way in my CRX.
