    Second question? How often or seldom do you reach the redline... Is it a safe and good practice? :?:

    My car: 7000rpm redline, cutoff just below 8000rpm.

    Safe yes. Better even than sticking to the "in-traffic" range of below 3000rpm because it takes your engine components through their full range of motion. Just make sure the engine is warmed up properly and that you cool it down properly if you're going to drive hard.

    Ako, 4,500 rpm. Madalas dalas din ako nakakarating doon. Pero ngayong mahal na ang krudo, paminsan-minsan na lang.

    Mine is 6900 RPM, and I regularly reach that mark before, but now I refrain from doing so to save gas. :lol:

    patrol - 4600rpm
    frontier 2.7 - 5100rpm

    bakit kaya mas mataas ang redline ng frontier kesa patrol?

    2k2 cr-v: 6800 rpm
    2k2 venture: 6000 rpm
    '96 accord: 6250 rpm
    '99 civic LXi: 6800 rpm ata

    boybi,

    stroke length, engine displacement (in general), and the weight of the engine parts (primarily the piston), among other things, affect the redline... the longer the stroke, the larger the displacement (in general), and the heavier the parts, the less the redline (but the higher the torque in general)...

    is that why diesel engines have lower redlines? laki kasi ng engine ng '88 patrol. I-6 tapos turbo. diesel pa.

    gestapo,

    in a way, i think. mas mabigat yung diesel engine parts kasi kailangang mas matibay ang mga ito. but i'm not sure if diesels are inherently limited to low engine speeds (like, if it's possible to build a high-redline diesel)... maybe they are...

    yung stroke length and engine displacement mas applicable to gas engines since diesels inherently produce great torque even with a small displacement... yung high-torque gas engines are usually high-displacement, long-stroked, or turboed/supercharged...

    Formula 1 engines have very short strokes and very light components, which help make for a 19,000+ rpm redline :shock:
