So compression check, and im just praying it checks out

I figured some people think the ls vtack which is typically stock ls bottom end should have the rev limiter set to 9200 so i figured the one time trip to really ------- high isnt that bad, but never done that before and it scared me a bit

I dont know if i would rev an lsv to 9200 every day

I did it when i drove a bone stock vx in high school...thank god i probably only sent the z1 to 7500 or so at like 50 mph with that transmission

VX rods do fine at 7500 rpms, until the meet 14:1 compression, we'll see who wins

So Mista, what is it that keeps you out of 1st unless you're almost at a complete stop?

Ya mang. There's no block off for 1st over a certain MPH. How the ---- do you guys expect it knows how fast it is going...?? It would have to be computer controlled and there's no "1st gear blockoff" plug on a manual tranny. :1

However with the 1st gear spining soo fast at 55mph I can see that it would be kind of hard to get into gear. There's no way I could even get my car into 1st gear going 55mph.

I had a friend that did the same thing but from 6th to 3rd in his celica and grenaded everything. Flywheel blew apart, engine grenaded, etc etc.

my friend hit 2nd instead of 4th, and revved out to like 10k. yes it will go over your rev limiter

Did the same thing in my a6/L3 I was kinda hope it would blow up so it would give me a little motivation to finaly build my b18. Hit some where in the upper 8k range

NOTE TO SELF, DONT WOT SHIFT AND GO FROM 3RD TO 2ND.........lol

Re: 1st gear at 55mph. :(

i had a friend with an old school sentra ser that did he same 5th to 2nd. ended up cracking 2 valves and broke a bunch of rocker arms. just check the whole top end and do a leak down test.
