I am new to Honda cars and in the market for a S2000. A friend mind who owns several Hondas told me that the dealers have devices that can read ECU data and check whether the engine had been over-reved or abused before. Is there such things?
I currently own an 89 MR2 supercharged and have very little idea of how new car ECU works.

I heard that u can do that on rsx ecu's but never know if u can read the s2k ecu's

If they can, I would think only on the 06 and up.

I have never heard of them doing it on any car other than the RSX, but would assume any ECU for a K2x would do it as well.

Over-revving? I know you're new to Hondas but this car is made to rev high. You don't want to redline ever day but why do you think there is a 9000-rpm tach?

never heard of this on the s but if you find out other wise it would be interesting to know

Croc

yes, this is true for 2006 and up S2000s.

What the hell are you talking about?

1. I do want to redline my car everyday.

2. Even if the tach went up to 15,000 rpm, you could still over-rev the engine by selecting the wrong gear. Look up: mechanical over-rev.
