blown RSX engine

Ta, that kind of explains the rev limiter part but doesnt explain goin from 5-1st LO and also bein at 9rpm for 1.1second when the redline is at 6. sumfin rpm.

if he manage to get it into 1st at that speed and rpm it would have beenvery hard to pull the lever out of gear because of the force on the gearing. More revs you have the harder the shifts get.

NOOB QUEST: Isnt it not "healthy" to down shift anyway?... like even when you are cruisin along n sum chump wants to go ya n u shift down a gear to engage VTEC (even if u rev match), theoretically isnt it not good for the car?...

[Mugen boy]

revving it at 9.770 rpm for 1.1 secs. oh well hopefully he replaces da enginge wit a vtec

I AM GUESSING YOU HAVE NO IDEA WAT A RSX IS , it would of had a k20 vtec motor, just not as hard tuned as the type r versions

[panda[cRx]]

hahaha it took me to this post to realise what v3rdino said lol
vtec y0!

and jules its fine to downshift as long as u dont do it like the chump in the link hehehe
if into the right gear it will be fine

16k rpm? shit thats nearly as much as a rotor man!!! no wonder it blew rofl

would be sad to blow an engine like that tho

work it out in your car 120kmh in 5th might be 3500rpm redline in 1st lets you do 55kmh.. to do 100-120 kmh in 1st you'd need to pull 12,000rpm or more.. so they car slams the vavles until the break, the rods break, the pistons crack and the car over 1-2 seconds drops back onto the rev counter.
I can say I have hit 3rd instead of 5th down the strip, but I knew I had before my foot was off the clutch. I think the needle just passed 10,000rpm before I had my foot back on the clutch..

guess i should stop engine breaking...

[redliner]

how do you shift down from 5th to 1st at that speed... im havin trouble tryin to shift down 2nd to 1st at 30km/hr... it only goes in easy when it is at very low speed

[Usual Suspect]

not all drivers are good drivers.

THe idiot was prob street racing, not dragging and tryed to downshift for a corner, n just stuffed it up

[staryknight]

note to self, do not mis shift frmo 5th to 1st, lol but yeh as redliner said, the shift isnt easy to go in unless your doing less than 30km/h youd obviously know somethings abit off if your goin that fast trying to go into 1st.

Yeah, and they keep making better and better gearboxes that make it so easy to pick any gear you want. I have done a 3rd into 2nd UP shift before and the tacho went off the dial for a split second. I clutched in pretty quickly. The engine is still ok though, I checked the compression and dynoed it and it was fine.
