Redlining
Redlining
This weekend, I found out that I obliviously don't have automatic cut-off. I red-lined while approaching a dune. The truck sputtered a little bit. Is there any long-term problem I should worry about having done this just once? I laid awake at night just shuttering at the sensation. Gross.
Re: well
i could only get mine to 5500 didnt want to go any morexenith wrote:run my td42 to 6000 rpm all the time has 450 000 on it now still going strong
Re: Redlining
the spluttering was the revlimiter, thats what its for, so you dont over rev the engine. GO FOR ITbwana wrote:This weekend, I found out that I obliviously don't have automatic cut-off.

Re: Redlining
ahhh, so there is a revlimiter. cool. it's often hard to check the rpm when you're screaming toward a steep dune. one last thing to worry about.GQ4.8coilcab wrote:the spluttering was the revlimiter, thats what its for, so you dont over rev the engine. GO FOR IT

Re: well
mine won't go above 4500RPM. but it looks like the governor bolt seems to be stopping it. how do you back the bolt off to allow the engine to rev morexenith wrote:run my td42 to 6000 rpm all the time has 450 000 on it now still going strong

clockwise to do up
Re: well
quick question, but after around 5500rpm doesn't piston speed out speed burn rate of diesel?? Read something on this the other day thats all.xenith wrote:run my td42 to 6000 rpm all the time has 450 000 on it now still going strong

gotta wonder how efficient a td42 cam/head/top end is at 5-6 grand 
my governor kicks in a around 4400, if i wanted more power i'd concentrate on getting more fuel and air in. Just can't imagine that the standard internals would like spinning around at that speed for too long (thats wat chevs are for).
But, if durability aint a concern then go for it

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
Re: well
WHY? the diesel will have reached its max KW and NM well before then. whats the point of reving the titts of a diesel?MyGQ wrote:mine won't go above 4500RPM. but it looks like the governor bolt seems to be stopping it. how do you back the bolt off to allow the engine to rev morexenith wrote:run my td42 to 6000 rpm all the time has 450 000 on it now still going strong

before i got the trol i used to thrash the jabber around occasionally and i found that if i changed around 3600rpm it would be the quickest..
i used the torque of the engine rather than reving the crapper out of it for no reason.
i think the max KW was at 4000rpm but after that i didnt "feel" any point in reving it that hard.
BUT i still reved it to nearly 5k one night to see if i could get past 180kph (on a race track under controlled conditions of course
) and after about 5mins i gave up as it wouldnt go any further even down hill
