Turbonetics 2nd Gear April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 What do you want out of each car??? The answer will bounce back and forth depending on how you like your drive to be like. I like performance and in this scenario, honda's vtec pulls it off better than toyota's vvt-i. can't we have the best of both worlds .... only can afford to buy one car Got! Audi's LeMans racer... good FC, massive torque (and super flat curve) for pulling, and good power. the Audi LeMans is one nice car. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbonetics 2nd Gear April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 Didn't know the K20A can rev till 9,000rpm. Did you transplant your K and A to F and C respectively? Can lah its all in the mods. The tomei boys in japan decided that the safe rpm cut-off for my 1.8l CA powered 180 was 11000rpm I almost fainted when i found out so have you tried revving it up to 11K? how does the adrenaline rush feels like?

Turbonetics 2nd Gear April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 ok got it I'm using the DC5R as it has a slightly bigger wheel so it needs less engine revs and i'm rounding the circumference up to 2m for ease of calculations. 160kmh = 160000m/hr This means that the wheel needs to rotate 80000 rounds per hour The diff ratio is 4.764 which means that the input shaft needs to turn that amt of times to rotate the output shaft which is connect to the wheel. This means the input shaft needs to turn 80000x4.764=381120 times per hour. Now the 2nd gear ratio is 2.130 which means its input shaft needs to turn that amt of times to turn the gearbox output shaft 1 time. as the gearbox output shaft is the diffs input shaft, it means the engine has to turn 381120x2.130=811785.6 rounds per hour 811785.6 rounds per hour is 811785.6/60= 13529.76rpm (if i didnt round the circumference up, it would be abt 14000rpm) At 9000rpm, a DC5R would be doing abt 106.4kmh. impressive,but i don't quite get all of it. i need to read another 10 times.

MAYBE but roadtax sure is cheap.. even cheaper than goods veh in fact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never know my dash only shows 9500rpm. only gone that far twice. Thing is i dunno what condition the engine was in when that tune was put in so better be safe than sorry.

Elfenstar 3rd Gear April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 the higher the power the higher the likely hood. thats why when most people go nuts on the engine and start making massive power... even if they don't change the conronds (which rotates the most), at the very least they get the entire engine balanced and blueprinted to minimise the amount of metal fatigue. But most people dont have to worry. the euro and jap engines are very well built. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
