BTW I've watched enough Best Motoring on VHS where Gansan always overrevs his downshifts well into the red zone when driving flat out on Honda's Takasu test track.
Then again it was always a factory press car / prototype. OP don't worry my friend money shifted his RSX-S from 5th to 2nd and hit 9000rpm one time while trying to chase an S2K onto the highway ramp. Car still runs like a champ over 10 years later. These days I tend mis-downshift from 4th to 5th instead of 3rd when driving a little hard. |

Sometimes we are over-sensitive after experience with American or European cars. I was watching lately a German guy reviewing the STI and he was saying ... "This is a real engine, you can overrev well into the red zone. Don't do this with a German car!" |

It chokes about three hundred rpm before the redline, after that it drops off. The hard rev limiter is deceiving, like mentioned earlier in this thread many aftermarket tunes raise the rev limiter a bit and it feels much better to sail up to that 7.4k mark without fear of hitting the wall.

No. It is just that they are an interference type engine. This means the when the valves are open they are extended into the cylinder where the piston travels. Not an issue unless your timing goes off (badly) or the valve doesn't retract fast enough when the piston comes back up (well sideways in this case). During a SEVERE over rev the springs that return the valves may be slower than the cylinder speed so they can hit each other and cause all sorts of damage. There are other things that can happen as well but this is what raises the risk with the boxer.
As said many times a small over rev is not likely to cause a problem but you bring it up too far too fast and things can go bad.

Ugh, fine. As a fellow engineer I will counter you by doing no math either and instead looking it up.
