MT best shift point/RPM
so for all you guys that race fit...
where do you find is the best shift point? and for those who cares about the fuel ecom. what's the best shift point? :D |
Recommended Shift points are in the manual
1-2, 15m/24km 2-3, 27m/43km 3-4, 39m/62km 4-5, 53m/85km |
ya... but i mean... it's the "Recommended" shift point... you don't get the max power output....
or do you? |
I usually shift every gear at 3,200 rom and i get very good gas milage!!!
|
Usually for racing, you shift right before you hit the limiter. I'm almost positive this works for the fit too, but it may not feel like it.

^yeah i think thats the best method on a race track...At least it works in video games lol..
|
nice nice
tyty everyone |

if im driving like a "normal" person 3-3500/4 |
Shift Points
Shift points for racing, IMO are around 6,500 RPM. At least from my runs:D . I guess it would all depend on your mods as well because I was not able to do certain things that I am able to do now. For example my intake, header and axle back allow me to bounce my tach off the rev limiter....making a great shift point...when it goes tata.tata.tata (tach boucing off rev limiter).:eek:

The computer will let you rev it to 7k, I was running 2 tenths better shifting at 7k than I was at 6500
|
now dont u want the full power of VTEC :p

Shift Points
Quick question, should you wait till the rpm needle bounces off the rev limiter to shift? I was not sure if you should shift just before or as soon as it starts bouncing.
Thx GD3blaze07':) |
Definitely do it before you hit the limiter. If you hit the limiter in gear, you'll get some engine braking that will slow you down.

Thanks for the information. I have noticed the engine braking that you had mentioned....guess about 6700/7000 grand is best?!
Thanks again, GD3blaze07':) |

as far as the fuel economy part of the question.... i usually shift around 2,500 rpms in every gear to conserve fuel. when at a steady speed, i try to keep the revs between 2,000 and 2,500 (except on the freeway when it is obviously much higher). on hills this doesn't always work. sometimes a drop in gear is neccessary to maintain speed. hope this helps. :)

I've always thought you shift at your peek torque out put. For drag racing at least, road racing that is probably some thing different. But then again we are dealing with Honda who sacrifices torque for horse power.
