Is it OK to hit rev limiter?

Is it OK to hit rev limiter?

The rev limiter does not hurt your engine, but bouncing the car off the rev limiter continuously is not a good idea either. If you hit the rev limiter before you shift it slows your run and wastes fuel.

What does the WRX rev to?

The STI continues to use Subaru’s 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer-four engine, with 310 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. That latter doesn’t completely hit until the aforementioned 4,000 rpm, which is when this car really wakes up.

Why is hitting a rev limiter bad?

It can cause a loss of compression, misfires, or it could even cause the valves to spring so far back that one hits a piston. Expect to be ordering fresh engine parts very shortly afterwards. Hard limiters are the ones that you slam into with an unpleasant jerk as the engine’s power is suddenly cut.

Is it bad to hit rev limiter in neutral?

Yes, this causes engine wear. When the transmission is in neutral and the engine is “revved” without any load, the spinning engine internals will accelerate, gathering rotational and lateral forces at a faster rate than designed by the manufacturer. Rapidly revving an engine will heat up the piston rings much faster.

Does the 2020 WRX have rev hang?

-ft. of torque; it’s quick, but not overly fast for the standards of 2020. The shifts don’t feel great and are a bit rubbery, and throws are somewhat long, but the gates are well-defined and I do give Subaru full points for doing what Honda can’t seem to manage : a sporty compact sedan in 2020 without rev-hang!

Is it OK to downshift without rev matching?

Rev-matching is a technique used to downshift gears on a motorcycle. When you downshift on a motorcycle, the engine RPMs increase. If you do it without rev-matching, the engine will feel bogged down and the motorcycle will also lurch forward. This can be avoided by simply rev-matching while downshifting.

How do I make my RPMs go down faster?

For faster shifts, get a lighter flywheel. To get rid of the lag, get a different chip, or get it flashed. The clutch should never be used to yank down the RPM’s in this fasion. Sure a little clutch abuse is fine, but selecting the next gear and dropping the clutch is jerky, hard on the clutch, and a bad habit.
