i have a 94 dx with the 1.8 SOHC 16 valve, and the redline on the factory tac is 6 grand, but when i read the specs on this engine, it says that the redline is 7 grand and fuel cutoff is 7400. Can my engine Handle 7000 rpms?

thanks

NO. Redline for the DOHC is 7k with a fuel cutoff around the 7400 mark. My 1.8 SOHC has a redline of 6k and will only rev to an indicated 6200-6400 RPM before the computer cuts the fun.

mike, does that mean it's ok to push it to around 6200 every once in while

Sup Kevin!! Actually it is always good to run the car hard once in a while to blow out the ol carbon....I naturally do it at the track as much as possible and only once in a while on the street...mainly cause I would rather spend $ on mods than a ticket.
