Got a quick lil question, I put my Iroc sideways a lil too fast and I tickeled the rev limiter, I think I even hit the limiter, not sure too loud of a car haha. My question is, is that gonna hurt my motor at all? I got an msd on the way to help me with that

 

Huh? I don't understand your question, you put your car sideways? Were you drifting or something? Do you have a rev-limiter on your car? If so I don't see how you could have hurt your motor, that's why you installed a rev-limiter, so you wouldn't cause damage to your motor. And if you didn't install a rev-limiter, well our cars didn't come with rev-limiters so I dunno what you were "tickling" the red line? If that's the case then read this

No i wasnt drifting i revved it a lil and let go of the clutch too quickly on perpose and then turned the wheel to go sideways and in doing so i jus about tached out. and i dont have the msd yet with the rev limiter its on its way to being installed

 

Ah alright, yeah, it's very easy to do that any time you spin the tires. Burn-outs often occur above the 4000 RPM mark for me.

Nah, I doubt you did damage, as long as you didn't spend much time revved way up there then you should be fine.

Read that other post I linked, it has a lot of helpful information on redlining, what it damages, and how you're not very likely to damage anything unless you're very hard on it.

 

Ok good haha Im worried as hell with it cause the motor only has like 8000 miles on it and I dont wanna hurt it at all
