I think this is more common than people think, and they just accept it. Most of the youtube reviews of the FL5 and DE5 I've seen show the exact same behavior when driven in anger.

It's either shift slower, or accept the occasional driveline shock. Note this behavior isn't happening at moderate throttle and RPM, only when you are pushing it (which ironically is exactly when you don't want this to happen lol). BMW uses two catalysts in their exhaust systems as part of the...

I used this for about 500 miles then switched to a heavier shift knob, so I no longer need this. Asking $100 plus shipping.

Agreed. And knowing that "wider" winter-summer viscosity range oils will degrade faster than narrower ones, just lower your OCI's. Simple, and better overall protection in all thermal conditions. Example: I am running 0W-30 and plan to do 3-4k OCIs. The other advantage of this is your additive...

Basically, waiting longer. Which is exactly what we don't like about the overrevving, lol. I think it's simplistic to say "just drive it differently". The fact is, that "option" is in fact the core issue. I want the car to do what I tell it to, not the other way around.

Unfortunately, DI doesn't correlate with how bad the overrev behavior is. It's dominated instead by the strategy the manufacturer uses to combat the between-shift emissions spike. Honda's implementation is.... not good. lol. My ITS has pretty bad overrev, even after tuning.

We're absolutely not talking about the same thing. Revs are not hanging. They are shooting up artificially because the throttle plate is being told to open under no load to force a lean condition to guarantee maximum unburned fuel combustion. It is 100% accelerative. I'll try to record what my...

A lighter flywheel will, by the very same physics, be less resistive to engine acceleration, which is exactly what overrev is. That's what I meant when I said it wouldn't help/might even make the issue worse. If there were no overrev behavior from the ECU then, yes, a lighter flywheel would get...

I'm guessing it's because the remote is a standardized form factor. The rest of the lineup has power trunks/lift gates so Acura didn't want to make a special remote just for the Integra.

I'd say it would do the opposite, jester (though I understand what you're saying). The issue being discussed isn't slow rev reduction due to excess engine momentum, but overrev due to throttle plate non-closure for emissions reasons. I know you are very knowledgeable about both so this isn't me...

Nice to hear someone has the same aversion to this "feature" as I do. While I agree it sucks, Honda will never address it. With manual transmissions going away, and eventually ICE as well, there's no impetus for Honda to do anything about designing a better implementation like some other...

I am selling a relatively new (less than a month old) set of CF mirror caps as I decided to go with a different look on my car. These fit great and look better than the OEM product which is just a partial stick-on cover, whereas these replace the existing paint-matched mirror caps. Here's a...

I have an extra one of these I ended up not needing. It's never been opened, as can be seen from the photos. Asking $50 plus shipping.

To be fair I think he was reacting to the '8' weight, which is extremely thin indeed.

agreed! I am actually running a 0W-30 oil myself.

I don't want to badmouth a brand unnecessarily. They just said there's nothing further we can do, and all tunes will behave the same.

I've owned many a turbo BMW that does this perfectly. It's not a turbo vs NA thing, it's an emissions reduction strategy. If you drive older turbo cars from the early 90's for example, they will not exhibit this behavior. Starting around the late 90's and into the 2000's, OEMs began...

To be clear, the revs are not hanging, they are overshooting. If they just hung around I'd be fine with it. For example, if I shift before redline at WOT or close to it, the overshoot in between the shift can be as high as 1.5k RPM. Given the above, a lighter flywheel would actually exacerbate...

For your weather the 5w-30 is perfect. The mileage difference will be negligible while the thicker high temp spec may provide more protection on hot summer days. You can run it year round in the Bay area.
