Elegant Skyline Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 When i accelerate at the green lights after coming to a stop, people around me are always going faster then me and so i compared my rpm to their rpm when accelerating from the green light is they often always rev up to 3300 rpm as this is what it takes for my R34 to keep up with them side by side I usually rev up and cruise after the start of green lights constantly at 1500 - 2000 rpm because anymore then that my engine feels like its wearing itself out and burning unnecessary fuel as my engine always gives off this whooshing sound after 3000 rpm and roars loudly within the car's cabin. (oh and i usually smell fuel within the car after revving it up to 3000) Whats weird is that i tested beside cars such as old camrys, corollas, Mazda 3s and 8 etc and they are driven by mature aged people and they drive hard up to 3300 rpm usually. Yet even after revving it up to 3300 rpm cars behind me still stick close expecting me to go faster even when i'm on the left side of the road.

Elegant Skyline Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Oh and i forgot to add, i rev to 2500 rpm and constantly stay there gets me to 40 - 50 km slowly and i mean very slowly like around 6 seconds and that every car overtook me like i'm driving like a grandma.

Trex Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) A screamer would help. You need more of a slingshot at the start to carry on speed. Source: own something less powerful and heavier than you.

scotty nm35 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I am guessing you have a pod filter and plenty of other similarly useless mods?

zebra Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Seriously the engine is most efficient at 7000rpm , so that's where you need to be all the time. Its why the R34s have tiptronic, you can manually select the gear to get you closest to 7000rpm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440055-is-revving-up-to-3000-rpm-too-much-for-my-auto-r34-gtt/#findComment-7217233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Oh. Tiptronic. Is it in "R" for Racing or "D" for Drag? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440055-is-revving-up-to-3000-rpm-too-much-for-my-auto-r34-gtt/#findComment-7217246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegant Skyline Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 When i use my tiptronic i often smell something burning so i don't use it plus i don't want to go over 3000 rpm as it seems too much for me. Fuel needle drops like a rock when i reach near it. Even then i stick to the speed limit and keep getting bad fuel economy.

Trex Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Try driving it harder. Higher revving > more air. More air > leaner. Leaner > better economy.

Elegant Skyline Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Most efficient? So i would use up to nearly half my fuel tank just to go the city and back at Liverpool? I wonder if any tuning will give me better acceleration below the 2500 rpm range but be economical.

scotty nm35 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 22's = more efficient tyres. Just ask the tyre joint for some. Sounds like you need to remove the stupid mods and get someone to look at the car. Have you checked for boost leaks?

Elegant Skyline Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Alright it does make sense but i keep having the impression that lower rpm means more economical.

Anfanee Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think the first thing we need to do OP is find out what you want. Do you want the car to accelerate faster? Or Do you want better fuel econ?
