Isn't this bad for a turbo?

Found this vid on car-movies.de cool cars but this guy seems rev happy, but isn’t that supposed to damage the engine or turbo?

youtu.be/ianfMnOcffY

hes bouncing the rev limiter… its not hurting anything.

Not bad

Blacked out wingless would look unique there…

I wish I were born into royalty or something…

im pretty sure that was the gayest movie i have ever seen… a bunch of fags driving powerful cars poorly.

a motor is at more risk of blowing when its freewheeling or engine brakng then when its under load and if you’ve got an SR, then you also risk throwing a rocker when bouncing it off the rev limiter

gay…

hes ballin’

I agree with you, but lol that is no baby SR in that car.

As for them being gay, hey i think thats only legal in Canada right?

i could careless if they were, those are some bad ass whips these “gays” have.lol so what would that make us, with shitty slow cars, uber gay?

and as for the rest, i didn’t post this so you can say how the car looks or its gay, all i wanted to know, would his engine blow if he kept hitting the red line.
friend and i had an arugument about it, thats all.lol

And im still not sure because other than two guys no one really gave their opinions about the rev thing.hehe.

Bouncing of the rev limiter is definitely not good for the engine but neither is driving it like a grandma because of carbon build up. The cars are nice a little to flashy for my taste but when I wear my white robe and speed in traffic I feel so baller:drivin

Wow… Wait a minute. Look in the “New g.t.r”, and read your last post. The original thread didn’t say anything about the automotive times and didn’t require any further input than direct information about the car, but you went on about everything not relating to the post.
Then you flame Hanzzzzz for doing what you did on another post???
Get with it man, everyone does it. Relax. You got your answers, and you’re getting more so don’t worry too much a bout it.
Plus, Terry gave an answer, but with other personal feeling feedback about the post.

Yes it will kill the engine over time.

high rpm = more wear and tear= bad

they are having fun screwing around, they don’t care

i’d love to own a mkIV

I wasn’t flaming “Hanzz” no dude, i was actually agreeing with him, i was just tryna make a joke about they gay thing because almost everyone was saying gay in different formats.

yes you are right he actually was techinal about his post +1 for him.

Thanks “Hanzzz”

^^^ Sorry man my bad. I misunderstood :wink:

no manufacturer puts a rev li miter for the sake of screwing with someone elses day…

they limit revs because “after this point you are FKING the motor”
lust like red line means…“from this point foreward you are Fking the motor”

NOT “could be Fking the motor”…YOU ARE FKING THE MOTOR…
maybe with a small dick but your still Fking it…

some people need to see a full red/yellow/green and back to yellow / red before they understand so here it is…and how it works.
dont deny that this is truth… or nobody would have made it for the
“more money than brains crowd”

while driving,

as a standard “rule of thumb”

Super low rpms = bad (under 1000 ish) unless in neutral / idling
low RPMs = ok (2000 RPM)
medium RPMs = ok (3000 to 4000 RPM)
tall RPMs = ok (4500 to 5500 RPM)
High rpms = ok but be careful (5500 to 6500 RPMs - ish)
usually just before redline starts.

after this you are in redline and damaging your motor…PERIOD no arguing…

sure you may not be doing anything obviously drastic but, you are weakening components and stressing others etc…

in the future they will be able to say
“this motor blew because 30,000k agou you went 200 rpm into the redline”
“sorry no warrantee for you”

Unless you internally upgraded you motor, your damaging it.
As its not made to run at above where the “Redline” starts…

throwing a turbo on and reprogramming the ECU does not move the redline.
(90% of the time) as redline is typically (90%) determined by physical components…
like valve springs, or piston rings, wrist pins,crank bearings or even cams etc

… in the old days you’d get “valve float”, where the motor would be spinning fast enough the Lifter didn’t have time to come back down on the cam due to hydraulic problems.
solid lifters mostly fixed this…this is the same principal used in all OHC/DOHC motors today.

If I ever have to type this again I will find you and POO on your hood…
whoever you are.

this is why there are rev limiters, they let you go past but only a touch
and/or for only a quick second.

as a side jab…gm redlines sould start arround 2500 rpms…lol

hey, man no prob at all, it happens to the best of us, thank you for your response appreciate it.:R

Hey man thanks for the detailed info, i was really interested in your explaination on the valve float i wasn’t aware of the info, and yea,lol GM should limit their engines to 3k, although i can’t say much for their 07 and newer models, they do seem to be getting a tad bit better.

Oh and if you want to pooH on my ride, you’ll have to aim hard and shoot fast through that azz, because its not a car but a fast bike you’ll have to hit.lol:p

Would having an ignition system and changing the red line of the engine to a low rpm so say it actally redlines when its not hard on the engine yet be good ? just wondering…ive bounced off red line a few times while drifting (more then a few lol ) …my thinking if i lower the red line with an ignnition box will make the engine redline at a lower rpm …there for saving the engine ?

anyone?

I kind of see where you’re going with that, I always wondered that too. What if someone took a 7k redline down to 6k after doing a turbo swap, that would mean obviously more power, as long as the person doesn’t go under the engine peak hp & lbs ranges. That would be kind of nice only if it really does work in terms of not effecting performance and engine parts being slowly weakened.

On the contrary

I know that street bike engines are made for high revving but that’s only because the parts are durable and made to perform at high temperature and revs & obviously that’s due to the actual purpose of that street bike. Although, I have had my previous bikes in shops for burnt pistons & rings, so I think wearing out is inevitable when it comes to high rpm engine rev’s.

smaller engines will have smaller parts, so it allows for more revs per minute.
