Rev limit feels like hitting something..?
OK... Last night, I was climbing a steep ass hill, had just left from the bottom, decided to red line it through the gears till i hit the top. I hit the rev limiter in first, and felt a big jerk/loss of power that almost felt like a smacked into something. It was also slow to bounce the second time (about a second), does that make sense, and is this normal? I'm still used to Honda motors, where hitting the rev limiter gave a quick wawawawa but didn't ever feel like it slowed me down, just stopped me from accelerating. I definitely lost 2-3mph when hitting the limiter last night. Just seems strange to me from what I am used to.

Yes that is normal. See here: http://www.sr20-forum.com/tunercode/29491-rev-limiter-discussion.html#post382856

Holy hell, so if i am reading correctly, there is basically a 500rpm bounce from the factory? That's crazy. I believe my honda was probably between 100-150. I didn't even pay attention to the tach last night when it happened, so I didn't see how much it dropped... As soon as I felt that brick wall I was off the gas an in second gear.

Yes 500 rpm, and also 1 second, which ever is longer. It's like a brick wall.

Wow. Well, I see ECU or EMS upgrades in the near future.
