4/24 on a 1.6 vtec engine, at what point does one shift? 2500? 3500?
(redline at about 7200). Should i be doing 60 in 4th gear? (or 3rd?)
- this is not an integra.
\_ Of course it's not an Integra. It's a Civic.
\_ D00D 175 4 TR1CK3D 7YP3 R C1V1C DX R4C3R!
\_ Doesn't it depend on how much power you want vs. how little gas
you're willing to burn at that moment?
\_ ok, the spec then is to maximize engine life; get good gas
mileage, i care not for racing on the street.
\_ in that case shift at 3000 rpm. To maximize engine life
tune up more often. Every 3000 miles engine oil change
intermediate service every 15000 miles.
\_ Good rule of thumb. To maximize economy, you will
want to shift with the purpose of keeping your foot
as light on the throttle as possible.
\_ How often is tune-up needed?
\_ A "tune-up" is such a vague term. If you're
clueless about cars, you'll probably want a
mechanic to look at it every year or 15000mi,
whichever comes first. Not as important if your
car is very new.
