Hey guys, new here. I have a 2002 Civic EX and I'm lookin to put a rev limiter on. I searched around forum and couldn't find anything but I've heard that my ECU isn't the greatest for chipping and such so I was wondering how would i throw on a limiter?

it already has a rev limiter that kicks in just before redline.

You should already have a rev limiter.

Doesn't it kick in just after redline? Like 200-400 rpm after?

It's been a while since I hit mine.

Would it be bad to hit it? Like to show off?

its there for a reason so yes, and its not showing off anything other then you're over revving the little motor for stock spec, after redline your power drops off so you're not gaining anything

Redlining will not do anything for you especially showing off. It would actually show you cant drive cause when you redline you loss power. You are suppose to change right before it so you dont loss power.

it most definately has a revlimiter. it kicks in at about 6800 or 6900 i think. i've hit it before, so yea its there.

do not rev it without being in gear! without load you have slight chance to spin somethig out
I do hit it only when i an in auotX, meaning the straight is not long enough to shift up so you keep it in gear until the next braking.

I redline at 7k and my limiter kicks in at 7,200rpms, same car. don't over do it, just know that it's already there.
