this is just crazy."but at the end of the day it is just a civic"http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=04E3E326-ED79-4528-872D-C3423567BB70&p=0

pretty cool, i think that guy needs a new tacometer.

Nah, it's a civic with no rev limiter :p

That looked more like 12k. But nonetheless, it sure pwnz my brother's car with its 4.5k limiter. I peg that thing pulling out of traffic and then I wonder why I stopped going faster. Oh yeah. *shift*

Yeah I guarentee it was a lot more that 11K, the stock tachometers aren't accurate in the higher rpm range. But they better have one hell of a built engine if they're reving that high, probably don't even make power where it was rev'd.

Man That Was Waked

Civic + 11k = blown engine!

forged internal!!!

there may have been some other device in the car reading the rpms
still that if impresive for any car.

Except for an F1 car. If that civic had an F1 engine then I am very dissapointed. :p

f1 cars can hardly be compared to anything on the road or any other motorsport, those things rev up to 18 or 19000 rpm. for a civic, let alone any street legal car, that's extremely impressive, especially if it's making power up there, wich i think it does because of the shift light.

the speedo was going as fast as the tac... kool

11k rpm is a very impressive number, but that thing would suck balls to drive in traffic. No low end power at all.

Yea F1's cars Idle around 12k lol... Then again they have almost billions invested in there development so....

I kiiiiiiid, I kiiiiiiid. [/triump the insult comic dog] :icon16:

:sly: They actually idle around 4k. But still its pretty fast.

No way! 4k? The 787B was Idling at 8 at le man there's no way an F1 is less.

isnt the 787b a rotary powered car?

Yes a 4 rotor to be exact.

Seems like it wouldn't be making power up there, or past 10,000 rpms. Can't you set shift lights for where you like them?

Can't you set shift lights for where you like them?

Yes, but usually the engineer's program the optimum shift point in so.

Pretty cool. It would make a great drag car, but good luck trying to drive in traffic with the complete lack of low end power. Also yes it's still a hopped up Civic.

he may shift it after the peak preformance point just to keep it up in the higher RPM's

you can tell hes making power up there though

Yessss... So not that dificult after all...

I used to race karts on the longest kart track in england. The 125cc engine was pulling 13,500 rpm at the end of the straight and it still had more left in it!! Having said that karts are very different to cars but i still think it is quiet impressive.

Racing kart, honda civic, whats the difference? lol, just messin around with ya.

Lets compare the stroke of a 125cc kart and the stroke us a civic.

crazy...how did he save a civic on boost from exploding after pssing the end of the revs on the rev-counter ?

In the video....is the civic running FI? A turbo motor turning 11K is insane...

i believe a turbo was involver and the internals almost have to be all forged.
that was a strong engine and odviously nothing was stock on that thing

eh, the 13B can be made to rev that high and make power that high with some modifications....
however for a piston engine that is pretty nice, forged pistons, H-beam rods and forged and balenced crank with some fule with a flame speed to keep up and your in business...

You as bad as the Noobs on the Honda forums.

Just joking with you, but really, its VTEC.

ya i know...it just like 'H's...i have an H fetish :boink:


and i really amd NOT a fan of honda's or Vtec... its a good thing over marketed and over hyped by the consumer. Just like the hemispherial head design... ie "its gota Hemi" :uhoh: we better run a way...

its just a civic. i hate it when people say that. no, its not just a civic anymore. its totally different. no one ever says that about that drag racing school bus. but, i still definetly agree with the lack of torque. i cant imagine what the tuning scene would be like if hondas actually had torque.

Yeah, I'm aware that Hondas are your favorite. And beleive me, I'd love it if Hondas were hyped like you said.
