At what RPM do you shift for normal driving...
 

hey, I jsut wanted to see what rpm people shift at during normal driving.

Mine -
1st to 2nd at 3000rpm
2nd to 3rd at 3500rpm
3rd to 4th at 3500 rpm
4th to 5th at 3500rpm
5th to 6th at 4000rpm

i only shift at 9k+ rpm

Between 4000 and 5000 rpm. But mines an AT.

normal driving i try to keep it under 3750 RPM's for the best mileage but that's hard so i try to shift before 5k unless i'm "burning the carbon out" then 9k FTW

for real I shift around 3k

I go by the feel....

I go by what mood i'm in so there is no "normal " driving for me .

^well i was boosted i'd always b in a "boosted" mood and want to feel boost constantly haha!!!

/\ an interesting thing about a boosted car vs an NA car .
Boosted = safer
When I was N/A and wanted a bit of a thrill i would wind it out in 2nd to 9000 rpm .In a built up area this put me at double the legal speed limit .
Now with boost all i have to do to get the same (better) thrill is mash the throttle for maybe 2 seconds at maybe 4000 rpm .
Only slightly over the speed limit .

So Boosted = safer

We Kiwis are very logical .... :lol:

^just another reason to go boosted

Aorund 5 grand unless someone p'd me off

Under 3500 rpm until coolant & oil are up to temps.

Still wondering if it gets better mpg switching up to 5th/6th gear when cruising at 60/70 km/hr or to leave it in 4th and at a higher rpm but still under 3,500 rpm.

Up to 9000 a few times a week when the roads are clear and I have no passengers.

3500rpm for 1-2
3000 rpm for 2-3
25000 rpm for 3-4-5-6

i keep the rpms down for sound reasons. catless rotary ftw.

Damn...what mod lets you get to 25000rpm?!:SHOCKED:

that would put you at 477 mph in 6th - nice going :lol2:

LOL 25000 damn dude, 8 rotar engine?

bwahahaha!

yeah. its the accessport guys. all of you should really get onboard. set the redline rpm to whatever you want.

normal driving? 5-6K rpms until i hit cruising speed

1-2 9k
2-3 9k
3-4 9k
4-5 9k
5-6 9k

i normally shift around like 4-5k and its smooth.. any higher makes me wanna hit 9500

Yeah I usually shift at 3000-3500 RPM unless I am making a turn from a residential road to a highway then I will shift higher around 5k

3000 to 4000 until it's warm. Then whatever fits my mood.

While waiting for the engine to stabilise at operating temperatures, I shift between 5000 and 5500. Once the temperature stabilises, I go between 7000 and 9000 until I reach my desired cruising speed.

Totally depends on the driving conditions and my mood. In other words, 1K to 9K and everything in between. Bless our Renesis broad RPM range!

-1.3L

4k is a good, all around number.
