that is some funny ****....

 

Update!!!!

soo the timing chain was no the cause.. the cause officially from the dealership was a blown rod.... it actually went through the block.

Honda voided warranty on the spot due to a throttle body spacer and they checked on the computer and they found out it had been reved up to 8,600 rpms in the life of the engine and therefore voided the warranty.

 

figures, timing chains DONT break at 40k. I've never even heard of one snapping... jumping teeth yes, but "breaking"... no

sounds right... honda didn't fail, your friend did though
tb spacer? was he also running nitrous? -_-

 

owned.

 

8,600 rpm !

Maybe he should have got a rotary?

 

I didn't even know they could reach 8600rpms =\

 

probably a mis-downshift
redlines 8k i think

 

ROFL that video was so ****** funny. I was literally on the floor laughing uncontrollably hahaha. Nice one XD

 

A built k20z3 can go up to 12K rpms.. a stock one can easily reach 10K rpms.. but would need to be reflashed to reach that since its limited by the ecu..

 

That is what i told him!!!! but he insisted that he was a honda guy and that th rx8 just wasnt for him.. He also said he didnt want to go through all of those gas tanks.. he wanted something more economical.

But yeah those k20's can really rev up. i think he now wants to go with a K26 wich is a k20 bored out... easily reash 350 hp. idk though.. i think he is rethinking honda as a company in general.. he is a bit jelouse of the way mazda has taken care of me with my probelms with my car. Who know he might convert to the only japanese manufacturer that actually build thier cars in japan... actual JDM! not something built in america hahah

 

lmao. tb spacer for ? 50+ shot ?


Yes they can, but for how long?

10 seconds? lol !

and are they making power afterwards with stock manifolds and stuff ? LOL

NAh, never

Didnt u get it?

Vtec just kicked in y0 !

 

stock k20s CANNOT handle 10k reliably...
i'm assuming your friends are telling you this also? lmao..

 

I think the proof is in the pudding here.

10k reliably yes.... 8700 no....


Makes sense to me.

 

When did i say reliably? I didnt.. i just said stock motor can easily reach it.. "reliably" was never mentioned

And there is one reving well past 9K rpms reliably on stock motor. i think it has 56K miles. but every motor is different... etc etc

 

I said they can reach 10K rpms easily.. didnt say anything about handling it every day at every stop light..
No my friends have not told me ive seen them. Might not be 10K rpms exactly but its well past 9K rpm's

 

you have also seen your friends blow a rod getting to 8700.

You know I can fly.... Once.....

 

Depends on the definition of fly, you know

 

Vtec y0 !!!! Vtec just kicked in y0 !!!!!!!!

 

No he didnt blow a rod at that rpm... his brother was driving the car.. and he did a slight turn and the car just began to grind and made a WHOOOSSSHHH sound lik ea pressure hose being relieved of pressure.

 

Since when did my thread become a K20 cannot rev to 10k lol Please stop posting if your subject is not related to what this thread is about.

 

my old roommate had the same thing happen on her 06 civic ex... honda covered it.

 

you sir... have made my day.
