Kangadrool Supersonic December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 The fastest way to kill your engine and GB is to under-rev it. Most cars have a max redline zone of 6,000 rpm and peak power at this point. You can safely constantly rev up to 3/4 of it. Constantly driving at 3-4K won't kill it, but constantly driving below 2K is sure way to kill it. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithchue 5th Gear January 4, 2016 Author Share January 4, 2016 driving < 2K rpm? This is really abusing the engine and probably GB. less than 2k, personally, I don't wot the engine much Er......you mean you find joy in driving on Singapore's congested roads with so many speed cameras, red light cameras and horrible concrete jungle scenery meh??? I think the Top Gear's 3 Stooges Presenters will KPKB if they were ever tasked to come to Singapore to do an episode. that might be a good episode to watch.... I actually enjoyed driving at night, no jam and less traffic. There's a lot of nice roads on the outskirts if you are willing to find them. Congested? It's nothing compared to BKK la. I do appreciate what we have here. But come on, less than 2K rpm in every gear, where's the joy? well, I got lots of torque from pickup, and I installed sprint booster. most japan cars cant out pace me.. so I have to go slow in order not to kiss backside.

Maybe you kill the gb with your driving style? .... Should have tried with heavier right leg before you got rid of it... You might have spend lesser time at workshop....

I don't think it is the GB, changed the clutch plates and MU during the last workshop visit, the jerk still there, but If I press harder during 1 to 2, then the jerk is not there. next thing to change might be the flywheel, but the flyy wheel is not under warranty. cost 18-2000 to replace. but no confirmation to whether it is the culprit 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baal Supersonic January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 I learnt from a mcfer with relatively minimal issues with a DQ200 model that the it needs to be driven hard. Its basically maybe low revs for 1st couple/few KM, followed by aggressive driving all the way.MU only down once at 70+k KM. Though I understand a drain & refill of the DQ200 oil is done every 30k KM. Also goes for track days. So I presume it survived the 2nd link/causeway performed once in a while.Aside from the market who wants a Cat A car with 2.0NA performance, theres a not so small market that goes for it also for the claimed 20km/L. If this segment keeps the rev down very often, it may explain in part... But of course it also means that some skill is required to drive it aggressively & legally daily.OT: I note that TD car owners also seem to have a fair segment in the game for great FC. Similarly, keeping revs <2k rpm for TD (in general) all the time will kill engine, GB & ...DPF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
