I'm not sure about my ls, but I just bought a 94 civic with a b18b engine in it and I raced my friend and I brought the revs to like 7 grand. I thought the rev limiter was at 6800. I'm nervous cause I'm afraid that if I miss a gear or something KABOOM. Anyone know anything about this or is it just my stock tach in inaccurate?
thanks

7200 is fuel cutoff
6300 is peak HP so take it to about 6700-6900 and then shift

It has full cutoff so u can't really make it go kaboom. Take it all the way. If you shit a little after peak hp, then u will be low (or not even) in the powerband anymore.

When im racing, I launch at about 1500 to keep spin to a minimum. and i shift just before 7 - to make sure i stay in its "power band", i hit the rev limiter once by accident and trust me u do not want to do this during a race, u will fall back (i belive it was about 7300)

sure you can! go down the highway going about 120 and shift into 2nd, my friend did that with his and trust me that thing went kaboom!
haha but no, you wont be able to take it past 7300 while accelerating, unless u put it in a lower gear by accident....

Thats a K series engine, completely different.
The B18B1 has a fuel cutoff at 7200, it's not a rev limiter, it literally cuts fuel- making it go KABOOM!
So my advice is to just shift before 7K, it will kep you right in the power band. Thats how I shift with my completely stock 2000 LS, and I beat a lot of other modded LS's cuz those punks don't know how to drive it. Hahaha

I'm surprised that it didn't just grind. He probably forced it in after it grinded and pulled out the clutch really fast. Ok, so basically, if you can't drive a stick correctly, you shouldn't race.
The video was totally funny! That guy was not a fob...that video was in china or something.:licker:
