yes its a serious question but really the point of it is to knwo when does the k20a motor stop MAKING power. cause ive heard of people that race and they redline it every time when i heard it stops maken power at a certain rpm. can u help me out there

 

When it hits the rev limiter.

If I was you, and I was really serious about learning the answer to your question, I think I'd look at one, or two, or even several of the eleventy-billion dyno charts on here.

 

every car is different a dyno chart will tell you when your car stop making power.. not us.. were are just like shaking a magic 8 ball.. you cant rely on us to answer this one for you

 

try redline champ..somtimes i go to like 8300 cause i drive like i have a sack..

i know what ur saying about the power think after a certain rpm but our motors were designed for high rpm so id assume the higher you shift the quicker you move and they closer to v tec you will be in the next gear..hope that helps

 

i redline at 8600 in my z1 but thats just me i guess and to kinda answer your question it all depends on your tune and setup

 

do about 65 or 70 and down shift to like second and see what happens

ya i hope that was a joke... the kid is pretty much asking where the best rpm to shift at since he is obviously to lazy to do a search on the 20 other "how do i drive my car" posts. if you are stock then don't even look at a dyno to see when your peak power is. all you need to think about is keeping your car in vtak the whole time... so since you got an 02 you need to shift at 8,100-8,200 rpm. go try it and you will feed the difference

 

What u gotta do is tach it out in 3rd gear around 85mph and then instead of upshifting to fourth, down shift into 2nd. You get a boost power. Sort of feels like nitrous.

 

Just go untill you hit redline and wait about 10 sec then shift! you get a extra boost lol!

so your telling me that you down shift at 85 mph into second? please explain how that works again?

 

HaHaHaHaHa are you serious!

 

i would like to see a vid of you putting your car into second at 85. unless you don't own a Type-s. if you told me to drop it at 45 then that makes sence... but 85? dont think so bud.

 

ok, my semistock ep3 redlines at 7200-7300...
3rd gear hits rev limiter at 85MPH...

a more subtle (Yet FUN!) way to go is this :
say someone's going 60mph in front of you,
when going to pass, rev up to around 5-6K RPM, then downshift to 3rd.. and take off around him!
you can zip around quicker than dropping into 4th and waiting for more power from a stock engine...

but thats just how i drive, fast n furious!
practice with no-one around first, i am a trained profesional circus clown daredevil...
