Proper Way of Using Engine Brake...

kinyo, that was the Acura RSX-S. He downshifted by using the power-shift techniques. RSX-S tranny gear ratio is so close that the first people who owns them blew most of their engine and tranny.

nga pala, rev-match is closely associated with heel-toe.

heel-toe, madalas na gamit ng jeepney drivers but they/we/I never knew what its called until the past few years.

oo nga pansin ko sa mga jeepney drivers. and most jeepneys masmataas yung brake pedal kesa sa gas pedal. so mas easier ata gawin yan heel-toe, sinusubukan kong mag engine brake sa mga toll gates hehehe still get the 3K rpm though pero ok lang mukhang masmababa na ngaun, ginagawa ko malau palang tlaga hehehe so medyo bumbagal, and tap tap brakes para alam ng likod na bumabagal ako

I thought engine braking would not use gasoline? Especially on EFIs?

i only use engine braking when going downhill to assist my brakes lalo na kapag may load ang auto ko.
engine braking helps a lot if you know how to perform it well pero kung hindi mastrain lang yung engine,tranny.

may effect sya sa fuel consumption since mataas ang rpm when engine braking.

But from what I've read those cars equipped with ECUs already have Deceleration Fuel Cutoff, where it stops feeding petrol if you hit a certain RPM while deceleration (which is usually with engine breaking)...

For me I'm trying to use engine braking more when going downhill, dati kasi basta downhill neutral na agad. I think as long as nag-rev matching ka nga, safe naman siya.

Yes, that is true. Using the hand brake from time to time in really long downhill drive would be nice as well.

the point is, engine brake mostly pag downhill mo gagamitin, dont ride the clutch, di yan hand tractor...

ang clutch is like a switch-- pag press mo "off" ung power from engine to wheels, "on" pag de-press/release mo...either on- or of lang yan, pag half mo, sigurado yan sira clutch lining mo...

if you wanna learn talaga din ng engine braking, tambay ka sa 4x4ph.. search mo nalang url, di ko matandaan,e..

sa susunod, please, dont imitate drivers na natuto lang...ung nabubuhay sa matandang paniniwala... mas ok kung magread ka, at kung may free driving and track/offroading seminars grab it....
