elff, i don't know how to put it in english terms. it s called elasticity of the engine in Greek. and it is a standard measurement in the auto world, it's not something i came up with. you measure a given acceleration at 3rd and 4th gear (or 4th and 5th and so on). i.e. overpassing a truck on the freeway from the left lane and downshift from 5th to 4th. you want to do it quickly, but don;t want to do it racing style, so you don't go to 3rd from 5th, you go to 4th gear. plus i would like to know how is the engine response in lower rpms, coz in 3rd and 100km/h, it is our engines happy time (at leaste with my given set up) |

Arabas is on stock turbo and low rpms (3000rpm) is preferred, elff is on bigger turbo and preferably to use around 5000rpm. I don't see a different reason. |

I don't shift based on speed, I shift based on RPMs and I put the car the proper gear to put it in the power band without over revving it. In non aggressive driving, I think I put my car into 4th gear at 65mph. That's just under 5000 rpms. Next time I am out logging, I will do a 4th gear pull for you. --- Quote from: Brazen17 on July 24, 2012, 10:46:40 AM ---I think it's your integrity I respect the most... --- End quote --- :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbs: |
