Been wondering about this for a while

Been wondering about this for a while.

My car has a 6 speed manual, 6th doesn't seem to be an "overdrive" in the sense that there isn't a colossal drop in RPM's between 5th and 6th.

1st and 2nd are extremely short, them everything upwards of that is quite linear. I've always driven my car pretty much everywhere in 6th gear, as it still has the ability to accelerate (albeit slowly) from 35mph and above in 6th.

Am I doing it wrong? I pretty much upshift at 2000rpm (muh diesel) and try to keep the RPM as close to 1000 as possible when driving about town.

everything you described is pretty standard..

1000rpm?

are you retarded?

don't you have any fucking feeling whatsoever about what the cars engine is telling you by the rattling and chugging?

either you're completely and absolutely stupid or you're trolling

"I've never driven a diesel car" -the post

Amerifats need to get off my board.

Just the engine running slightly above 1000rpm is enough to keep the car moving with a diesel.

That said I try and keep it between 1500 and 2000rpm unless I'm pushing it. (Amazing 4500rpm diesel redline lel)

Get rekt cunt.

All I ever do is drive diesels. And you do not drive along at 1000rpms. Could state the facts to back it up, but since you're clearly either stupid or not familiar with diesels, it would be a waste of time.

Sure.

It's also fine to fuck up dmf's, clutch and everything else transmission related to the way diesels dump their torque.

Diesels are happiest, in general, since this new common rail generation brought lower max torques, above 1700, being the sweetspot 1900 for many.

1000. I can't even fathom the excruciating sounds coming from an engine at that low rpm.

>tfw I chug around in both my gasoline vehicles under 1000rpm as much as possible

What the fuck are you talking about?

If your diesel is chugging at 1000rpm then I don't know what the fuck to tell you.

I know what to tell you.

You have no idea how to properly drive a diesel.

> ITT PEOPLE WITH NO CONCEPTION OF TORQUE CURVES

Yes, you do.
If I want to get good empeegees, I just put in fifth and roll along at 1000rpms. The engine doesn't chugg or whatever if it has enough momentum.

Been driving diesels most of my life and although I don't advise driving around at 1k I have a hard time believing the engine is struggling (unless it's actually under 1k).

Of course you could explain your point better and help me and other anons understand but, since this is Veeky Forums, being a prick is mandatory and on that regard you are quite the specialist.

Here come the trip faggot.

You already got rekt in every thread you participate so far, you're willing to get anally raped again?

No you do not, especially on a limp shit engine like a 1.3 that has no torque whatsoever.

No wonder that your sorry stupid nigger ass complains about clogged dpfs...

Struggling isn't chugging.

Two very different things and at 1000rpms, most regular diesels (exclude heavy trucks) will most definitely be chugging.

plus low exhaust temps, more soot, more particules, more soot being recirculated, more soot being accumulated in the dpf, regens more frequent

plus any time you press down the accelerator to gain speed you'll be forcing the engine to dump all the binary he has at once, dmf flywheels absolutely hate that shit, all components on the transmission absolutely hate that shit

plus, the sweetspot for comsumption on diesels is the max torque or slightly slower where the best cx crosses with the best achievable torque figure

and I can go on

diesels sure can go along at 1000 rpms, but they're not happy at 1000rpms

anyone that says the contrary is wrong is stupid and should learn a bit more before babbling shit like mjet

>200Nm from a 1.3
>no torques whatsoever
tiptopkek

200nm

You think that even registers in the scale of decent diesel engines? That was the norm for so called decent cars ten fucking years ago.

Enjoy your limp dick engine.

>200nm

200. 2-0-0. Is this fucking guy for real? I'm gonna crack a rib.

what r you driving? a lawnmower? the way he said it... as if he had an slr engine... lel

THANK YOU.

See, wasn't that hard to provide an explanation. I usually only let it drop to 1k if I'm coasting along and downshift do accelerate. Guess I could have explained that better as well.

Most of the time explaining anything here is pure waste of time. It's like explaining to a school boy why he flunked when hes even too stupid to realize the shit he did.

Most people also don't downshift to accelerate. That's of the worst things you can do to the clutch on a diesel with a heavy torque figure. Always, always, if possible, downshit to the max torque point or near, and then burry the foot. Otherwise when you mash the accelerator under that point and expect rpms to climb, you'll be dumping all the torque at once at the clutch. Sure they can handle it, but it's not healthy.

look at him, LOOK, look how he says 200 conviced he's driving a rocket, look at him!

You can't stop being a retard now, can't you? One more thread one more humiliation bath. Now, just kill yourself dude.

I had an 1.2 diesel Seat that made 180NM on 3 cyl lel.
What a fucking shitty engine that was. Shit my pants every time I had to merge on the freeway and didn't even cross my mind overtaking other cars.

Just wait till the trip faggot comes around and bashes you cause it was a vag engine and not a glorious muh torqs italian piece of shit.

1000 rpm might be acceptable operating speed for a stationary power generator or a locomotive prime mover, but not for a small automotive diesel

>mfw all these (You)s with 3 lines of text
You guys sure are assblasted.

Americans can't into torque

Just to clarify, I drove a gutless 1.4 8v petrol before, which had about 110Nm. I could merge fine on the freeway.
So either you can't drive or you're just a retard. But then again, only retards would buy limp VAG diesels.

Oh, and check what I wrote
>200Nm from a 1.3 (that´s 1248cc)
Care to tell me which 1248cc engine produces as much torque in the market?
Not even a 1.4 TDi does it. And a 1.6 TDi only produces 50Nm more.
Yeah, it's not a 2L with 400Nm, but it isn't really a slouch like you want to make it.

stfu nigger you got roasted once again

looky look

what did I tell you? this guy is a fucking retard on steroids

if the engine is 1248 then it's not a 1.3 but a 1.2, you can't even get numbers straight

get the fuck out of Veeky Forums you sand nigger, who told you that your shitty car from a shithole like yours is anywhere relevant?

Doesn't even have 100hp. Yet he rages and rages and rages and rages... You sure must be fun at parties.

>can't even round up numbers
I don't think I'm the retard here, kek.

>electronic gauge cluster
barf

>His car can't into night vision

All modern clusters are electronic

electronic in terms of signal recption, analog for the superior style

that and every car I've ever driven that had a screen of some sort up there had terrible refresh rate (lol 25fps) and it triggered me being able to tell wehn it refreshes. I might get on board when they realize it's not a movie screen

Stop driving shitty cars with low quality screens

>about to run off the lane

Are you one of those people that keep themselves in the very centre of the lane so the entire car is on the right side?

No he isn't?

The car seems to have lane assist on anyways.

"overdrive" just means that the output gear is larger than the input gear you huge pleb. back in the day it was rare for the transmission not to only have reduction gears

It will.
I'll be running it at 105hp/250Nm in the near future.

>His fuel icon doesn't have an arrow indicating which side of the vehicle to add fuel.

The way car engines are identified are anything under 1249 is a 1.2, anything above 1250 is a 1.3. So, you're micro engine in reality is a 1200cc. Never before mathematical formulas for rounding up numbers were used in car engines.

I can't wait to hear you complain about knacked dmf/injector failure/turbo surging/dpf clogging. Gotta love chavs and remaps.

You dumbfuck, don't you even realize that the people who designed the shitbox you drive, took years studying the best combos while leaving a safety marging for reliability and durability? Don't you understand that if they deemed it sustainable and durable they wouldn't have put the cars out to the market with that kind of figures from the scratch? Do you really think some grease monkey just adding fuel and boost has a deep understanding of what's going on? Fucking idiots. I'll bet you one thing, 99% of the remap monkeys won't measure or even care about EGT temps. And then people complain about the government putting out laws and more laws. It's cause of faggets like yourself that I applaud government intervention. Shit like this has to be stopped.

Don't you see the pump drawing with the hose on the right side? Are you stupid or what?

inb4 that's more a myth than anything

inb4 you're so seriously retarded you can't remember which side your car has the tank cap

>guys ruins his own car by his own mistakes
>this requires government intervention

Get fucked, statist. If he wants to blow his engine fucking let him learn from his mistakes. You don't like it, man the fuck up and say it to his face, don't go running to big brother like a fucking cuck.

This person has never driven a diesel in his life.

>fiat engine
>blowing up
lmao son do you even read what you're writing?

>This person is not even a single person.

Problem isn't him fucking his car. He could die in it and I wouldn't care.

Problem is the rest of us being taxed for the environment and half dozen other shit while this kind of pissants do everything agaisnt the law and act like entitled little bitches pissing on society.

The only diesels you know are buses, am i rite?

Then go tell your government to fuck off and stop regulating it. If you don't wanna pay for that shit stop being a beta cuck and speak the fuck up

>am i rite?

Do I care? Point is there I no reason for the government to be sticking it's dick in people's cars, not whether a fiat can kb

I want to leave a planet to my kids. I'm quite happy with the government cracking down on shitheads like mjet.

When I want to vent, I get the weekend car and I go on a track. I don't remap my dd to race on the public roads.

If you wanna be a fucking hippy all you need are emissions standards, not a total fucking ban on modification

Your kids won't remember you.

the emissions standards are pointless if the end user can circumvent them anyway

I'm not dissing modifications.

I'm dissing chavs that remap their cars, pollute more, take of cats and dpfs, "roal coal", etc's on fucking daily drivers.

>people actually believe car pollution is real and dangerous

oh goy

If he can circumvent the emissions standards what's gonna stop him from doing anything else? There are other planets, user. This one will be one big nature preserve soon enough anyway. Your kids want clean air they can tell the vot to get the fuck back to funding NASA so mankind can get back to fulfilling it's fucking destiny.

And the earth is also flat.

...

For now he can. In the near future he won't and for one, I'm glad that it's happening.

>dat rust
just fuck my wheelarches up fampai
