I honestly cant believe people are asking if they can safely run the car past its redline.

why not ask if its alright to bash the car into a brick wall? the answer is obvious.

hey thats not nice

. They dont know, thats why they were asking.

Although he has a point it was not nessecary. Lets conclude it... unless you have a built engine you should not bounce off the rev limiter.

on the 2G rs, the rev limit is 6600 rpm. the red line is 6500 rpm. as far as i can tell in the heads, the valves springs are self-adjusting to a point. so a couple of rev limits wont destroy it. however... repeated abuse of the engine will lead to catastrophic failure of the retainers for the valves themselves, a blown head gasket and possibly some burned rings for starters... something serious would include a cracked block, scorched cyllinders, and of course ruptured valve seals and pistons :) to repair all of the things i just listed would run "me" about 900 bucks. but for the everyday joe shmoe we're talkin around 1400 for the motor and installation costs.

so you could always do yourselves a favor... read the signs at the video store...
BE KIND AND REWIND.

rewind indicates that you should lower your RPMS before your limiter does.
