Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! You can't compare it to your dad's corolla. It doesn't matter if it's not the same horsepower, it's not a Honda civic. You have to compare it to another SI civic in your case. I have 2002 EX. I bought it brand new. It accelerates just as good as it did when I bought it brand new. You're limited on what you can do with it unless you want to spend an obscene amount of money turboing it and tuning it. A short ram and mandrel bent exhaust are nice, but do little for actual whp. A short ram is the best thing IMO because it makes the car that much easier to work on. No need to mess with removing the resonator box and air box. |

Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! Its an SI .. An American Si would have a 2.0 K engine, and would run circles around your 1.7. |

My point was it accelerates slow compared to A LOT of cars with the pedal mashed to the floor. It's by design. It's 4 banger, 1.7 liter engine as ezone pointed out above. It's not meant to move fast just save gas. |

okay i guess point is amercian ex/canadian Si's are still slow .. unless its an Sir ? Your car will go fast, you even said it went SO FAST you had to back off the gas here: but when i slammed it on 90kmh my car went uptill 160 with 6k rpms and i haad to stop there because iknow my car was gonnna go further They will keep up with traffic just fine, and they will net you a speeding ticket. Methinks you aren't a driver. |

Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! New here ... Been looking at your question ... about speed and RPMs .. Sounds to me like you have a speed limiter on the car ... Is the car new to you from the dealer or did you buy it USED from someone ... is it auto trans ... if so once you reach a speed the revs stay there or go down some ... so if the design of the car is set that at 120k the RPM should be 3K the that's what is will be ... nothing more nothing less ... NOW if your in top gear and you need more speed you gotta hit the gas to make the transmission shift down one gear then it will shift back up when you let off the gas and the revs will go back to normal ... form what I can see ... do you really have a problem ???? or is it just in your head because your dads car runs different ????? |
Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! it might be the actual computer chip in the car (ECU). A while back i had the same problem in my 01 civic and i couldn't get the damn thing to go past 3500 rpm. like the people said in the forum, the civic isn't a race car, but if your getting on the highway, you need more than 3500 rpm in the civic. but anyway, i took it to a guy that my families knows, and he said that the ECU was literally cracked and was causing problems with the entire car. i got it replace, and the car ran better than it did before i bought the thing. hope this helped |
