Reached 5k before shifting in my 4 cylinder...damage?

my preferred mud method when i had my 4cyl was 1st gear rev limiter!!! wooohooooo

 

Now listen here you son of a b****....

 

Nope.

Don't be a wuss. Bang the limiter just to see what it feels like. It's still a few hundred RPM under risk mode. Won't hurt a thing.

However, just know the limiter does not work on a downshift. So you CAN over rev by making an incorrect gear selection. You could get lucky and not hurt anything. Or maybe you will.

 

Lmao!!!

 

I was asking what the particular redline is for the 4 cylinder.

 

I came here hoping it was a post about how OP drove his truck 5,000 miles without ever shifting out of 1st... imagine the disappointment

 

The 2TR pulls pretty well in all its RPM range. Sometimes I forget I'm near redline because it's still pulling hard. My old vehicle had a V6 and despite a bigger engine, you could tell you were past 4k rpm.

 

Fuck I bounce off the limiter with my blower when hammering on it daily. I think I've blown up my engine for sure, so that being the case it's time to get a 2016.

 

The 2tr-fe is a perfectly square engine. It doesn't mind revving. I mean it's no S2000, but I think it can take 5K runs all day.

 

Hahahaha I'm sorry for the disappointment. That would have been an interesting thread...although this one has gone about the way I had hoped lol
