gear = speed

[ian_rex]

ok lang yan. yung lxi ko, ganun din. pero as much as possible, ang speed ko sa 5th gear e 80 kph, * 2000rpm.

[ian_rex]

yup hehehehe. ako nasa 4th gear na 40 kph pa lang takbo ko. minsan nga nasa 5th gear na ako 40 kph pa rin ako. iba talaga pag diesel

sir, ako din sa dmax ko. pero decelerating naman yun. actually i checked, as low as 45 kmh pwede na mag 5th gear sa dmax. saka by comparisson, malakas talaga ang torque ng mga diesels kesa gas engines. saka low range din. 2000 rpm, naka 217 Nm(28.8 kg/m) torque / 100 hp na agad. over that, horsepower naman ang hinahabol. sa lxi ko naman, half nung torque ng dmax at 13.7 kg-m * 3800 rpm. kaya lang, mas mababa ang weight penalty nung civic kaya by the time masagad yung torque mabilis na talaga.

okay lang naman yung 2nd gear launch sa diesel (it has enough torque at idle to launch without excessive clutch slipping), but 1st gear will probably be easier on your clutch since you'll tend to slip the clutch more with a 2nd-gear launch... depende siguro sa kapal ng torque ng makina at idle.

yup launching at second gear will do. pero pag paakyat i seldom lauch from second specially from idle. mahirap na baka mag-slip nga yung clutch masira pa.

ian_rex ayos ang torque ng Dmax!!! you can overtake cars uphill if you want to. don't expect too much speed though. pero kung mapapansin mo rin kahit light lang ang apak mo sa accelerator, the power is still there and it's much better kung di mo gaanong pwe-pwersahin ang pag-apak mas mabilis sya mag-accelerate.

Ibang klase nga ang Diesel - yung sa kaibigan ko na D4D 2k rpm lang yata yung 100kph!!
