Rep Power: 528

There's a white Civic EX in my parking lot. It's one of those older ones where the word "Civic" is written in fancier script (like italics or something), not just the normal capital letters like we have. Anyway, it's an automatic and I looked in through the window and saw a 7200 rpm redline. Weird. Did Honda just make a higher reving engine that year or something? What year is it, btw?

fuel cutoff in our rides is at 7000, unless you have ECU work done, you don't shift at 7100

you can pretty much give it to almost 7100 man...trust me....why would we lie.....jeez

My old 95 civic EX redlined at 7200, it was a manual. I installed a mugen chip and it redlined at 8500.

yeah they got higher redline before, and a even higher fuel cutoff.

that doesn't necessary mean its good. but yeah.

fuel cut off is around 7100 on ex our generation.

Hi, I have 11,000 miles on my car and I redline it often. Either my needle is off or I'm shifting at 7100 RPMs. My car cuts out at 7200.

theres really no point in taking it beyong 6800rpm.. becuase the D17 makes its peak horsepower at that.. so by going up to 7100 you arent going any faster..

if i removed my stock fuel cut my engine could spin past 9K, but that would be pointless because it would cease to make usable power above 8200. High RPMS does not a fast car make.

this is correct but keep in mind when you shift the rpms drop, if he was running high revs, when he shifts he's closer to peak hp again, instead of losing hp by shifting at peak, look at it as an average

keep in mind the stock tach is off by a few rpm's so even if it shows 7100 or so rpm its less than that
