When do Civics REDLINE
 

Could you please tell me, as i do not have a Tach, how fast you can get (say a 1998 civic hatch) spining? I was having an arguement with my friend, and i told him they spin faster than most!

Who is right, and could you please tell me what is the max, and when do they redline.

well... depends on the exact civic... but just look at the tach. when its red its redlining. probly somewhere around 6500.

but i don't have a tach

i could have bet it was like 8 or 9.5 thousand, i must be wrong

Not even close.

Specs for a 96 hx:

115 bhp @ 6200
Redline: 7100 rpm
104 lb-ft @ 5400

i was close... ive never ridden in a civic so i had no clue.

Nope still off bro. He has a CX. Non-VTEC

1998 Civic CX (sames as the CXi)
106HP @ 6200 RPM
103 ft/lb @ 4600 RPM
Redline 6900 RPM
9.4:1 Compression Ratio

Oops, didn't see that. Thanks for the correction Civic_Addict.

so i was even closer... hehe.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

hahahaha, wrong thread. i had 2 diff windows open.

Civic EX redline at around 7200 all others including the si around 6800

ROFLMAO my si does NOT redline at 6800, it redlines at 8200:D

Whats all done to it. My friends DX redlines at close to 10,000, but he's definately not stock

a dx redlining @ 10k rpm???? baaaaahahahaha. i want pics.

si redlining at 6800? no. a stock Si redlines at 8200 do0d.

Let's hear more about this. Are you talking about an engine swap here? :|

The DX is a motor swap with a B18C5 with a lot of titenium internal work. Springs, vavles, ect... Push close to 300 horses at the wheel, all motor, no boost or juice

well thats not actually a "DX" then. its like a DX-R or something :o

My civic redlines at about 8000 RPM, there has been nothing modified on the engine, but i'm thinking about getting an turbo fixed on my car. I assume that will raise the maximum RPM.
First I thought that it wasn't possible to make a turbo fit on a VTEC engine, but yesterday I heard that it is possible so that is going to be my target for next year.

Educate me a bit. What would the ESi be equivelant to in the US? The Si? Is your car DOHC or SOHC? Just curious.

my 93 ex sohc vtec stock redlined at 7200 and now it is completely modified and puts out close to 320 horse and it still doesn't reline anywhere close to 10000. The highest reving honda automobile is the S2000 which redlines somwhere around 9300 i think

the sp00n relindes highhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I gotta ask..... What mods do you have? 320 out of a SOHC is pretty impressive.

Ditto... I'd like to hear more :eek:

Seeing as I own a DX. I too will ask the same question.

holy crap...saint212's last post was....MARCH 22 02! sorry 02Civ...theyre not gonna be telling you stats anytime soon

...I'm being a postwhore for this one :D lol

my dx redlines at 9000rpm

lol :D you mean your DX-R:bow: :banana:

Yea the 2000 Si redlines around 8,000 whereas the 2002 Si redlines around 6,800. But the '02 is quicker off the line and pulls steady through all gears. You can't feel or really hear the VTEC kick in when you get into the higher end of each gear. However, you can feel and hear the VTEC kick in on the '00 around 5000 or so.

I think that's the real difference. These are the only two Hondas I have driven (except my '89 Prelude Si) extensively in the past 2 years.

It's just higher end speed as opposed to a quicker pull in the early gears between the latest two Si models.

Just my 2 cents.

Ok, are we talking about redline, or rev limit?

"When do Civics REDLINE":pfft:

I don't know what kind of si's ya'll are driving but my motor redlines at 8900 rpm easy.
;)

:no: Sorry forgot that my ecu was chipped:no:

YAY!!! YAY!!! YAY FOR DX PEOPLE!!!! Even YAYier for u DX-R's You are my inspiration!! I luv you all. Damn you EXerz, thinking your better cuz your windows go down at the touch of a button and you hav a sunroof. Damn you. YAY!!! YAY FOR DXerz!!!
(sorry if you feel left out OTHERS)

Propaganda paid for by: Vagisil... Works when you don't want it to...

even though it got the ex...id trade it for a hatch w/ the same mileage so i could to more of a type R style :yes: but...I love my sunroof...and power stuff...its the first car of mine thats had those things :D

higher redline dosnt equal more power... the cams have to be designed to make power that high. and removing the rev limiter or extending it way past the stock one dosnt increase the redline... the redline is where you should shift to avoid major damage to your engine, the rev limiter is a safegaurd so you dont go too far past the red line.

:yes: Yup. Good lookings. I like a lot of people couldn't afford a ex or si but that doesn't mean b/c I don't have power door locks that I can't go fast. Holla @ ya boy. I'm gonna put a BIG A$$ CIVIC DX DECAL ON MY WINDSHEILD. ( Well if they make them:pfft: )

I have a 1988 dx hatchback converted to an si (d16a6) and it redlines at 7400
