RPMS @ 65 mph

[pecka]

Does 3000 revs sound okay at 65 in 5ht with a Talon TSI AWD. I just think it seems a little high, but I am used to V-6's and V-8's.

I wouldnt worry about it if i were you. its perfectly normal

 

[2gGSX]

That's dependant on your final drive and gear ratios, not how many cylinders you have.

 

[BlackHalo]

Yea, in my fwd im at like 3000-3500 dont know for sure.

 

[rdeterman]

i have a 98 GST manual and at 65-70 im right at 3100rpms.. nothing to worry about its perfectly normal and there still very fuel effiecient as long as you keep your foot out of the boost

 

[Eclipsemblue]

im 70mphr at 3,000rpms on the dot

 

[JrCRXHF]

yeah that sounds about right cause i am at 3500 at about 78mph but i think this is low compaird to my other car a CRX with a B16 turbo that car is 5250 at 80mph and i still drive that up and down the highway for long trips all the time.

Thats where it should be.

yup

 

[pecka]

thanks for the input, i just didnt want to damage the car

 

[teamslowdsm]

i have a 94 n/t and 65 is 3000 and 70 3150-3200. and thats where i get the best gas mileage also

yes the 3000 doing 70 on the freeway was a little hard to get used to, i used to have a 94 tbird V8 that was at about 1800 rpms doing 75. i like the 3k rpms now better cause i have way more throttle response than i did with the V8 that i would have to downshift. or maybe its the turbo.......

 

[Defiant]

AWD has a lower ratio than N/T or FWD, so it turns a few revs higher at a given speed.

 

[jjsacidy]

wouldnt that be because the v6 and v8 usually have more torque in the lower rpms? therefore more of an overdrive can be accomplished? i drove my moms van yesterday cuz my talons sick and it cruises at like 1500 but when i stomp it, itll kick down and rev up to 5k. i bet id get maybe like 50miles off a tank of gas driving it all the time like that.
