Always wanted to ask you if there's any way around it?

 

or for ppl who have engines like you but havnt adjusted their guages :P

 

Dry sump. Or possibly some freaky-deaky custom oil line routing. But the bottom line is, Honda engines aren't built to drive like V8's.

 

i say redline it the more u blow em up the more $$$$$ u have to spend [:@] --its good for the economy[sm=americanasmiley.gif]

 

i cant even believe someone wouldnt kno that answer.......just stay in 1st bro........cmon man use common sense.....i have an automatic tranny but even i kno proper shiftin for daily drivin would be like 3-3500 rpms.

 

I thikn that if you have to be asking this question. you need. to stop playing video games. amd stop diving all together. let's put it this way: Make your manual think it's and automatic. drive an auto for a few days or hours even, and then make your stick do the same thing. shift low unless you need the power. just like an automatic!

 

I tend to change aroun 2500 or 3000 RPM. I dont know if this good for petrol consumbtion but it does make for a hell of a smooth ride.

 

I was always taught that you should be shifting at whichever RPM that the car can accelerate most quickly in. Being that you aren't overexherting the engine, and thus reducing fuel consumption. I don't redline my gears unless I'm racing someone. However, I know a guy that redlines his 2000 SI every time he shifts like every day and his car still runs great. Sure he has some internal mods, but it still runs like a champ.

Well, redline is there for a reason: Honda takes the engine, cranks it up to 8,000 or something, and runs it for 48+ hours straight. If it blows up, they drop to 7,500 or something and do it again. When they find a speed that the engine will survive at, they subtract 500-750 rpm or so and mark the redline. Redline is not something to be afraid of, but don't drive to it unless you know how to read your engine's responses.

 

you forgot capitalist swine, you money grubbing wh@re of a dog. but also you might have pointed out that for the majority, people tend to pay more attention and learn alot more when it comes from the wallet.[sm=gears.gif]
