So today it track day and i was on my way to work and over reved. everything seems to be fine no vibe or clicking so i guess im going still. has anyone ever done this then a few days later had any problems or is it a "soon as it happens" kinda thing?

sounded like it reved to around 9200 to 9300

 

There was a post on here a while ago about how an individual bought a pre-owned S who's original owner over reved the car. The new owner put about 30k or so miles on it before the engine went down the pooper.

 

You should be fine, how long did you over rev till you clutched? Your ID is ironic, Beyond Redline lol

 

with an over rev you may not know anything is wrong till many miles later......and beyond redline ^^ ironic yes lol

 

the tack blinked once, maybe twice. but ya i made that name back when b16/b18 swaps in hatches were rare lol soooo long ago.

 

How did you over-rev?
I think different scenarios have more potential for damage.
For example, if you over-reved because you down shifted from 5-2 instead of 5-4, the transmissions inertia will force the engine to turn too fast.
If you simply rev too much inbetween shifts and didn't let the clutch out the car's rev-limiter will protect the engine for the most part.

 

Your car should be fine.....I've hit rev limiter many times

 

For an ap1 you might have cracked the valve retainers. No way of knowing unless you pull the valve cover and check for yourself. Your car will also run fine until one day the engine decides to die on you.

 

Id replace the retainers with AP2 retainers... its cheap insurance!

 

did you overrev by shifting to too low of a gear? or did you just run the engine up past 9000?

if you did the latter, that's perfectly fine. there's a fuel cut at 92 or 9300 preventing the engine from revving higher.

if you overreved by shifting to too low of a gear, there's a possibility that the speed you were going and the gear you shifted to will force the engine to rev way past 9000 AND the fuel cut, thereby allowing you to reach rpms of over 10000 rpm by a mis-shift.
