u said it yrselfOriginally posted by zerocool85:computer games and tv shows make it seem safe/possible to do so..
so how do we actually know wats the limit we can push the cars to?Originally posted by bismarck:u said it yrself
the red area... never push to there...Originally posted by zerocool85:so how do we actually know wats the limit we can push the cars to?
change when the speed suit the next gear lor. y do u wan to drag gear lei? and also, travel at high rpm meaning burning more fuel. if u compare, travelling at 50km/h on gear 3 and gear 4. gear 4 rpm will be lower mah, which save u some fuel as compare to using gear 3 for 50km/hOriginally posted by zerocool85:so how do we actually know wats the limit we can push the cars to?
You try and then you tell us can? I also very interested to know...Originally posted by zerocool85:Which is the safest highest rpm can we bring our engine up to before it starts to blow?
those red region, is it safe to change gears within those region?

thanks for da sincerity..Originally posted by dansplace:You try and then you tell us can? I also very interested to know...
i want to know in like racing situation ma.. how to drag and stuff. heheOriginally posted by ben0704:change when the speed suit the next gear lor. y do u wan to drag gear lei? and also, travel at high rpm meaning burning more fuel. if u compare, travelling at 50km/h on gear 3 and gear 4. gear 4 rpm will be lower mah, which save u some fuel as compare to using gear 3 for 50km/h
now most new cars got rev cut....Originally posted by zerocool85:Which is the safest highest rpm can we bring our engine up to before it starts to blow?

generally cars today have a rev limiter to prevent u from overrevving the engine and damaging the car. but actually u should find the power n torque band for your car and shift within that range because it's the most efficient.Originally posted by zerocool85:Which is the safest highest rpm can we bring our engine up to before it starts to blow?

let them blow it once and they'll know.Originally posted by ronnie_2600:I think some kid here is going to think their toyota Echo can redline their engines w/o blowing anything.

Go send your car for dyno testing and find out when your max horsepower come in. If lets say it come at 5000 rpm and your redline is 6500 rpm, no point dragging it to redline also wat.Originally posted by zerocool85:i want to know in like racing situation ma.. how to drag and stuff. hehe![]()
are you talking about the max torque/rpm and the max power figures stated in specs sheets?Originally posted by guitarman1:Go send your car for dyno testing and find out when your max horsepower come in. If lets say it come at 5000 rpm and your redline is 6500 rpm, no point dragging it to redline also wat.
If lets say the dip in horsepower after 5000 rpm is VERY SHARP, for e.g at 5000 rpm your car pushing 130 bhp, then after that drop sharply to 100bhp at 5500, then you shouldn't drag over 5000.
If the dip in horsepower is only very minimal, you might consider dragging higher a bit so that when you change gear, you are still within a good power band for the next gear (ie heading strongly towards your max power)
E.g.
4000 rpm : 105 bhp
4500 rpm : 120 bhp
5000 rpm : 130 bhp
5500 rpm : 125 bhp
6000 rpm : 100 bhp
yes he is.Originally posted by ronnie_2600:are you talking about the max torque/rpm and the max power figures stated in specs sheets?
how do you calculate bhp then?Originally posted by HENG@:yes he is.
