Mine goes right to redline. Manual trans.

um its supposed to go higher if there's more rpm before redline. Look and see where the red starts. And don't you need to put it in sport mode or something?

hopefully your not going this on public roads.

but push the pedal down harder. does the rpm tach reach its "redline" point when u gun it all the way down? if your talking about the final gear (4th), then its the governor

well i dont kno, but this happens to me when i rev it in nuetral, only 5000 rpms...

probably a vtec malfunction that causes it to go into safe mode and limit the revs to 5000 rpm.

I hope i didnt make this up, i just remember a couple years ago some guy with a ITR told me the same thing happened to him.

you need to put it in S with the CVT to go to redline ?

yes when you are in neutral you can't pass 5000 but why would you want to do it though? Do a burn out?

not in neutral im not trying to do a burnout just when im at the track it dosent go to redline. i was wondering if my power just stops at that point

CVTs aren't supposed to redline from what I remember. It's constantly variable, meaning it's purposely compensating the gear ratio as you accelerate. Your peak torque is at 5k, it's just the system keeping the ratios in your maximum power range. If you went higher in rpms, it would stress the engine a lot, and you'd be even slower, so there's no point.
