What RPM when shifting gear (manual)

[RENESIS VIII]

Basically same as most, depends on situation......hhahhahahahhaha

Well, no one shifts consistently on the same range of RPM all the time unless that person is either a very boring driver or very old person, lol.

Did you read from TS first post? His friend changes at 4k ......lol

4k shift for the engine rev sound.....Like Sweet spot

Wonder how long it will last if every day every time 4k change.....lol

What car does he drive? Maybe one of those Honda VTEC 9k rpm screamers, is it? So 4k feels like a leisurely walk in the park.

Why cannot? When I got my manual done I was redlining it everyday until I changed oil 20k km later. Unofficial toll booth drag racing. Bahahaha.. lost a lot though. Sigh. Myvi weight advantage

No problem... Depends what make of engine. A lot of tough ass older engines are built to last 200k - 500k km before needing a rebuild. Even those honda that revs the shit out of them... But if cruising constant on highway at 4k rpm that different story lah

 

[g88]

If your car tacho is 9K or above...shifting at 4K is nothing...BUT unfortunately MOST car are max at 8K RPM

 

[john_unai]

2-2.5k for normal driving

It's a "hybridized" turbo silvertop engine

Old car with only 4 gears GB can go as high as 4k rpm when running legal speed at highway.
Must be noise, and high in petrol consumption.
Compared to conti cars that does 2k-range rpm when doing highway runs.

Mine 6k redline liao......:rolleyes:

 

[ken yeang]

[6UE5t]

Lol... Most cars max at 8k rpm? You sure or not?

I would say most cars max out at 6200-6500 rpm.
Even Honda's less aggressive i-vtec will do 6800 rpm.
Those ecocar like old city i-dsi max out at 5500 rpm.

some rpm meter only show "redline", but in actual fact the needle can hardly reach the redline region....My uncle's 1.3 ploton saga cant touch the redline (when driven on the road) no matter how you stomp the pedal.

Max power at 6K rpm so no point rev to 7k...

Auto? Try rev engine only, should reach redline....

yep, its auto. More like auta auto. When gear in N, the engine could rev to redline, but sound like broken record. The exhaust emit smoke like mosquito fogging machine. hahah

Anyway, me think it's useless for a proton rpm meter that shows redline region, but in reality, it could not reach the red zone when driven. for show show oni....

Auto is like that mah! Reach certain rpm they auto switch gear. On final drive you cannot reach redline, even my VR cannot reach redline on final drive. First 3 gear easily reach of course.
If auto want to reach redline, switch the gear manually, means lock into gear and drive.....hhahhahaha

PS...Wah! at night you can fog your house....hhahhahahaha

My old Wira could bounce off the limiter and rev to 6.5k rpm at highest gear. Why yours cannot ah?

Time for an overhaul!
