yea as above and what I said needs to be put into third before you can hit 100..

tuners etc, usually rev it till the limiter kicks in on dyno runs, so hitting the limiter for a split second on a downshift shouldn't worry it. especially considering this is hondas hand built type R engine we're talking about here.

seriously are you guys soft i hit the limiter every time i drive ffs i will go start it now and bounce it off the limiter for 10 seconds just cause i can

Bro sell the car I think the engine is stuffed ay.
Type r's can't handle that abuse

B18C5 from the US that revved to 9k

They also mention that the stock fuel cut is at 9500RPM. Intresting

That's a result of valve float due to valve springs.

A lite back story might be nice because you don't mention if its stock or what.

Its not possible to engage reverse while driving, you will just grind the sh!t outta the gear.

Holy F*CK that b18C5!

although it isnt standard, it has flat face valves so it may have high lift cams and some pretty gnarly timing too. they get up to some pretty highly strung setups in the US.
