5000rpm at 75mph. It can't be good for it!
Man, you nailed my problem square on the head!! I'm not use to this high reving shit!!!! I bought this thing to drive back and fourth to work, 80 miles a day, my truck is a diesel and I refuse to pay $4 per gallon. I've had camaro's, vettes, chevelle's, mustangs and atleast 20 Vw's(two that were high 12 second cars). Nothing I have is stock!! This is my first "import"(bugs not included). This thing is a freaking blast!!! I havent driven anything else in two months. It's got a jdm b16 swap. I'm just worried about how the constant high rpm (4500-5000) will affect the engine in the long run. It's only got 52000 on it now. I have been told that this jdm stuff is geared so short becouse over there, they dont have room to run as fast as we do on the interstates. (could be bullshit, I don't know). But anyway, so if I run this thing at 5000rpm, should it be OK, or should I pick up a different trans?
yea id just put a ls 5th in it. i doubt if u ever raced someone 5th wouldn't lose u the race. no need to do more than 1/4 miles anyways
did that make u feel like vin diesel? Cuz seriously I just laughed my ass off....if he wants to race whether 1/8 mile or until his car can't give him any more speed it's whatever...
I always reccomend either b16 or gsr tranny - if he wants to rebuild I'd use only b16/gsr
